How does it fit the theme?

Oooo serene and beautiful in an almost haunting way the dream piece was. Such an environment and ambience contrasted with the bouncy nature of sneak peak piece. Ascendio was also a very beautiful and romantic listen as well. Wonderful work!

I like all of the chromatic stuff you did in this soundtrack!  I feel like it creates this particularly strong type of dissonance, not in the sense that it's harsh but in the sense that its begging to resolve more than sticking within a normal key/mode would, and I think that works very well here.  The variation from track to track is also great here.  good work overall!!

Hey I loved Ascendio and with its ascending chords going minor/major somehow! It is tensed and mysterious until it reaches a falling point where the descending part you wrote is beautiful ! Really cool and calming track :) The begining of a dream was very pleasant to listen to, it is good to have that minimalistic accoustic guitar/micro in the jam and it fits the theme pretty well !
I wouldn't say the middle track threw me off as others as the title was explicit, I really liked it's spirit and the chords you used but i expected a bit more developpement. Whether being more instruments coming or a melody or whatever.. Well it's just an opinion :)

Overall very nice sounding guitar and interesting composition which made it an enjoyable submission for me !

The Beginning of a Dream: This is a beautiful and ethereal track that works really well with the guitar and the flute. 

Sneak Peak (Electronic): This is very different from Ascendio, but is also a magical and relaxing song. This track has a questioning and curious vibe to it.

Ascendio: This is a relaxing guitar piece that conveys a sense of calm and solemn contemplation. This is a very well-performed track and I really like the live recording aspect of this song. I really enjoyed listening to all your tracks. Good work and thank you for sharing!

Actual guitar play in two pieces. This is so soothing and beautiful!

Sneak Peak was a real contrast. A really quirky tune. Somewhat unsettling but great effect. 

Thanks for sharing!

I love how minimal track one is and how the guitar resonates in both ears. Also the harmonic note at the end was really nice! The second track went in a pretty different direction than the other two, so it threw me off a bit. I think it’s because the first track being a soothing guitar song set my expectations for there to be more of that, but then track 2 was a completely different thing. I still enjoyed it though! And track three, I love the chords and composition and it felt nice to hear the guitar again. 

I think this OST stands out to me among the other submissions I’ve seen because of the use of live instruments, it’s somehow comforting? Or maybe that’s just because it’s an acoustic guitar 😂 Regardless of the reason, great work!

Great work! I really liked, The Beginning of a Dream and Ascendio. The guitar really sets the mood and composition is quite lovely.

Good job setting an atmosphere with each of these, I personally feel they would go really well with a visual novel type game. Ascendio was my favorite the solo guitar does a really good job conveying emotion

Nice atmospheric guitar in the first track, as well as in "Ascendio". Quite a relaxed and slow OST, that would probably work in a puzzle game, or at the very least a simple game concept, with a focus on narrative. The white noise in Ascendio, sort of reminds me of rain, so I listen I feel like I am walking around in a wooden house during autumn rain, uncovering a family mystery, solving little puzzles, what have you. It's a good vibe. :)

Great job with the acoustic guitar! I really love how minimalistic it is in comparison to many other submissions, and it represents the theme well!

Nice entry :) My quick impressions of the tracks were (1) was a magical starting point, (2) was very game-sounding and 'wuzzy' (is that an adjective) and (3) was dreamy with undertones of  sadness. Love that there were actual instruments in the mix.
