I always love watching your videos, Chris. Genuine, playful, enthusiastic. Keys to life, brother!

[@Ambrosia2830]

I've followed your videos religiously and I think this channel is a wonderful service to us and our community. I think time constraint is a very interesting idea to actually get work done for people like me. I feel like I have a lot of knowledge from years of watching music content but putting that knowledge into practice and finishing tracks takes me so much unnecessary time

[@reasonexperts]

I love your energy in these videos. Keep up the good work! And yes, creating ambient music is fun!

[@poobens]

This was so much fun. I listened while I did my daily run and this track ran right along with me. Your enthusiasm and passion never get old, brother. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@kensley94]

Man because of you man! I love modulations so much, something which seemed so intimitading changed into something being so much fun and also serves as a coping mechanism these days. Gives me so much solace.

[@carlgrovestudios1]

Forget the bay sayers brother, we Love seeing you have a Blast!!!

[@konradhoroszko255]

Great, cheers man!

[@larsb.nielsen4481]

great work 🤩

[@SandyStarSong]

Thank you Chris, this was fun. Its always good to experiment with new approaches because this is where we can learn about our weaknesses and grow new strengths. Thank you 😊

[@ryan.noakes]

This was a fun concept and an enjoyable execution. It's always nice to see what happens with setting up constraints like this. A random thought that occurs to me would be that a fun constraint for some videos would be that you have to make a full track using only 1 synth. Maybe not with the same time constraint, or if you're feeling extra intense keep the ticking clock. And if you like it (and get views) there are a lot of synths to choose from for more videos in this "series" concept.

[@gammasutrasounds]

Awesome against the clock challenge! I got excited watching how far you could go! We'll give you a pass on the extra...what...10 seconds (?) to dial in Harmony Bloom. On review, the judges have decided that the Pigments load "delay of game" infraction should have reset the game clock by 10 seconds, in your favor. ;) Well done, as always!

[@kanapeche3283]

Awesome mate love your work and enthusiasm. I'm using pigments pretty regularly, and have learnt a ton about modulation and creating ever expanding and moving sounds from you. I'm wondering about other synths that you've used on your channel.. hive, omnisphere, serum etc. In terms of sound design capability is there really a benefit for me to spend another $100-200$ on another synth? Thanks again

[@un-ku_son]

The kick is more distraction than something interesting. I would just drop it because everything else is wicked.

[@Yeastextract]

Well you do that on your own channel then…

[@maw0380]

​@@Yeastextractever heard of constructive feedback? By the way, I didn't like the kick either.

[@fallenleaf24]

@@Yeastextract I too found the Kick to be to knocking.. where if it was a deeper thud like a deep pulse it will sit better in the mix

[@Yeastextract]

@@maw0380constructive criticism of a 20 min song creation? This isn’t a finished work. If S1gns released it like that then sure, but this was a fun against the clock effort. Chill 😂

[@lofimat3856]

The ILLUMINATI do Trackzz inn 23 Minz.

[@krinovita]

Nice very nice 👏🏼👏🏼🎚🎹🌌👽

[@phantomcube]

Track in 20 minutes is good, but why you, as an artist, repeat the same patterns? I think the highest goal of art is to invent something new and creation of original exclusive forms.

[@symeondimakis366]

You can't really be creative and experiment with a time constraint, he did that with his latest works though

[@phantomcube]

@@symeondimakis366 so there is no need to rush. This is not a sport.

[@symeondimakis366]

@@phantomcube yea the time constraint is itself an experiment, no?

[@DigitalAura]

@@phantomcube it was an experiment in FUN. You should lighten up, pal. Chris showed us that sometimes you're most creative when you just start throwin' down! Also, you can see it wasn't a finished product, but rather a very good launching point for serious investment afterward.

[@phantomcube]

@@symeondimakis366 let it be, but it’s interesting to see not a competition for speed, but creation of something fundamentally new.
