How does it fit the theme?
I came up with a little pseudo story for a game. You are running away from your own emotions, but is there really an end? [More fany text on the game page]

Great work! There's a lot to love here. I really love the icy mists of Carving Cold. The drama of Breakout (dig those bitcrushed beats) and how you punctuated the rhythm with those spiccato strings. I think Eternity is my favourite though. I love that almost dusty resonance that is on that pad.
Great work! Also nice touch to add a little viewer for the songs with some art. Very nice.
I really admire those who work hard in their project page, you took this jam one step up by making it "playable" and telling the story with both the artworks and music!
My personal favorites are The Forest's Whispers and Breakout.
Very diverse soundtracks, each one capturing its scene well. I particularly liked Carving Cold. Has a sense of urgency in a mysterious way. Breakout is really captivating, too and loops in such an epic way! What is the choir plugin you use there? Very neat!
Glad you enjoyed listening!
The choir I used is a library for Kontakt called Olympus Essentials - by Soundiron. I'm running it trough a RAUM-reverb from Native Instruments, which I just love using for these big soundscape-like sounds.
Really loved the idea of creating an interface for the OST! Really increased the immersion. Craving Cold was my favorite, you used the most effective "ice" instruments and made something great with them. Also some beefy chords in the final song!
First of all, the effort you put into this interface, all of the artwork, and the way it loops effortlessly, is amazing! I am super impressed with this. The music is also beautiful-- I loved Craving Cold the most, what a lovely and well-written track. You've done an excellent job of expressing emotion through music, and all in a very high-quality package. Bravo, and keep writing!
The first three tracks were charming, pleasant and respectable, and then the last track -'Breakout' - burst through the speakers and kicked me to the ground. Really loved that track, it has character to burn. And the game interface was a nice touch, you're a clever one definitely!
I love that these are "playable" tracks! Love the artworks as well! Craving Cold does feel pretty cold lol. Great job!!
The music itself is a real journey! Really feels like travel tells and fits the theme on the spot. The mix and composition for all of these are good too! Well done!
