Hey and welcome! You could also release the demo on bandcamp, maybe it will reach more people.. Also maybe you could rename this thread to your project's name so people and you can come back to it later and find it easily !!
In any case I squeezed a fast listen on 2 tracks and I like the kind of piano I heard, I will definitely return to listen thoroughly at a later point! Thanx for the heads up to your project!
Edit: typo "come back to it later"

Well, as Crystalogic13 suggested, you should publish this work in Bandcamp. Your demo is awesome, it undoubtly fits in DS and, from my point of view, the classical music influence gives it strong, moving melodies. Good work.

Thank you everyone! As soon as I will have some more tracks (and will come up with a project name!) I will follow your advice to upload on bandcamp! Happy to know you think it fits DS

Really digging this! Keep up the good work! This is perfect for me to play on a road trip/long work commute.

Very nice. Not my cup of tea (I'm into more synthy sound), but many will enjoy it a lot. The way you built the melodies definitely has written DS all over it, the vibe is there.

Ah! This is neoclassical but with traditional DS purposes, I LOVE it! It reminds me of more than one appreciated project... That said, I would drop a demo on bandcamp as crystallogic13 is saying, if I were you.

Overall I really enjoy the minimal neoclassical approach to your album. I actually am finishing my first DS inspired album too and wanted to have this kind of feel, but in another direction. What I mean is, I dig it.
As for the mix, I'm very much an amateur but with my non-professional headphones, the levels were good and, for example when the second piano track comes in on track 2, the panning is good and complimentary to one another. I was able to pick up the mix levels throughout the track.
Is the LP scratch sounds from a DAW plugin or is it how you recorded? It seems like you're going for the analog/lo-fi sound. I wonder if that element could be more brought out?
As it is, I really enjoyed this and think it's great music.

Thank you beforedust and stormcrow! dirgesapiens, those are all vst's. I am not much into the mix thing, since I am really more a composer than a producer. I often find myself to level-down my dungeon synth compositions, since they would become too complex for me to produce them. Yes, I am definitely going for that old analog and melancholic sound Thank you for listening

Yeah this sounds well done. I like Dungeon Synth that veers into neoclassical territory with the piano and everything. I do a lot of that myself. Welcome!

Ok here's the deal. I have trouble enjoying a lot of the dungeon synth I come across for a couple of reasons:
-Too much overlapping layers, too thick sounds and stuff mashed together by force and then not mixed to breathe properly -Boring melodies and/or lazy writing/arrangement -Too thick sounds that smother the mix
I just wanted to come here and say you avoided all of these. Your stuff is very minimal (in a good way) in sound and every note has room in the mix. Your sense of melody and drama is great. This is good, cheers. I'll be waiting for whatever may come next.
