These sounds are all really cool but I think for a game track the listening experience could be improved if you reduce some of the friction present. 1:33 how it builds and gets cut to build again for example, instead of a hard cut maybe play with some fader effect? Pitch bend, reverb it, eq, something along those lines. Maybe more variation in samples played could be nice too. Arranging these to hit on nicer downbeats or softening the attack on some parts could make it more relaxing to listen to but still give that same sort of chaotic vibe.

I was incredibly torn on how to feel ab this on an initial listen, but after listening again I think i see the vision, absolutely agree with the comment that said they were getting some IDM vibes, I think you capture this more ambient electronic style pretty well. I think my one word of advice would be to watch out for some of those lower not necessarily tonal tones, because sometimes they really take over the mix and make everything sound a bit muddy, especially when the general track is so quiet. So either lowering the volume on some of those lower notes or boosting the rest of the track (probably that tbh) will help all the parts stand out better! Well done.

MistmeltI really like the industrial overtones, and the drums that come in every so often are really cool. I keep wanting them to keep going and break out more, but not doing that really creates this sense of unease and tension. Super cool.

Impending StormWow, such a unique and original take! I can totally sense that cold mountain atmosphere you were going for. The experimental elements really add to the tension, and you nailed that eerie, unsettling vibe. It feels like the perfect fit for a horror theme. Amazing work!

Voices of the NorthNow, this is peculiar (in a positive sense)! So abstract and angular in its sounds, and it’s quite a bold personal take on the impressions the painting gave you. Nice!

High Roadsthat's what I like, it's got an experimental feel to it, it's got the vibe of an idm and something else, it's very unusual.
