Really ominous and foreboding! I love the use of the wind sound. The track as a whole paints a vivid and bleak image in my mind of this desolate land. Good work!

Absolutely lovely and ominous! The wind sounds add wonderfully to the effect. Your melodic elements maintain the tension throughout. I think you've done a masterful job. Cheers!

A really desolate land where my thoughts where drifting along with the violin melody. It is very cinematic! Actually it literally sent me in the world of a book from a French author, where people cross a desert planet fighting against strong winds ("La Horde du Contrevent") 

That was powerful in terms of feeling, good job!

The ambient sounds of the desert wind and the humming of some machinery or some ominous presence immediately set the stage for a desert with something to hide. The sparseness of your arrangement lends itself to the feeling of desolation and the non-diatonic melody line and use of chromaticism add to a strong feeling of unease. This all makes the string chords extremely pleasing to the ear when it comes in even though it’s playing minor chords. As far as a biome theme, it definitely sets a stage for a desolate wasteland area which works very well with the theme of desert corruption and your accompanying story. I am telling everyone this, but in terms of composition and quality, I am super impressed by yours and all submissions in this jam. It’s like it took the 6 top submissions of any other music jam! Great work and thank you for sharing!

Truly desolate feeling! love that howling wind under the viola, and that subtle shuddering sound in the first half.
