"Desynced" - SOMA Music Video

[Kurton]

The track goes in a way different direction than the intro led me to expect. I can definitely hear the reminiscence in the sound palette he's gone with (which is expertly cohesive, all fits together so nicely). I think a nice SOMA-ish touch that would have driven the mood home would be to drop some deep, wide swelling ambient pads/synth strings under the beat for a more "oceanic" image.

The rhythmic developments are catchy as hell and the way the song patiently drops them in one by one is a very satisfying development. The mono lead that comes in around 4:00 in the video is my absolute favorite part. Could do with some more riffing/unique melodic phrasing overall probably but that's not a huge lack.

Seemed like an odd pair with the game's visuals at first but when the thing really gets going it begins lending a really cool emotional backdrop to what's going on, has a more adventurous and hopeful mood, makes for a fun watch actually. (It's also a nice little detail that you edited the pipe-surfing sequence to sync with the song section where it goes all filtered)

Overall I like what you've both done - Hope to hear more coming from Hurdles, did follow him on SC
