Nice work! ""Deep woods" is a bop, you had nice harmonies and tension going on on this one
Thanks, was definitely fun to put together that dark harmony!
Really nice composition throughout, I think my favorite entry was Runaway, I like how it descends into uncertainty. Great work!
Thank you!!
I really like how friendly skip and hop sounds.
My favorite is Whisper of the Forest. I really like the vocal parts in this and how friendly this track sounds. It just makes me happy. It also really sounds like we're going on a journey.
Deep Woods definitely gives me some ominous vibes. I quite like the beat here as well.
With Guardian of the Oak, I feel we're in a much safer place again. Again, really like the addition of the vocal. Also love those fast paced vibes and the bass guitar. I get a feeling of a victory song from this one.
Runaway is a nice reference to the theme and right up to the end I thought we'd be in the clear, but then that ominous chord! :o
Really nice! I think it would work really well as a video game soundtrack :)
Thanks for the feedback on all the tracks! Whisper Of The Forest was definitely my favorite to work on, glad you liked it.
Excellent base lines! Thanks for adding vocals without lyrics, as those are super distracting to me in a game.
Thank you! And agreed haha
I enjoy the combo of instruments in these pieces. They're all airy and simple. It's nice! I also like the vocal accent, it gives the songs a some character.
Thank you!!
Great writing! I love the progression of these tracks and the Lofi elements you incorporated. Nicely done!
Thank you!
