Description
Genre: Electronic? 16 bits?, Chiptune? (i used a lot of snes soundfonts )

i used LMMS

maybe it is not necesary to clarify what the tracks represent, i mean, it is in the name. BUT for more details: the ordinary world is a place where the character is quite comfortable, and is familiar, see it as his home, so it tries to sound sweet and warm.
the Extraordinary world is the place the hero reaches when he takes courage and manages to cross the threshold to the other side. it is unknown, uncomfortable and full of dangers, therefore, the time signature changes from time to time, so you never will feel still.

Artist comment:
based on the monomyth of the hero's journey by joshep Campbell, where the character passes from the ordinary to the extraordinary world, unfortunately, the songs do not go into detail on each of the 12 steps of the monomyth.

Theme:

Two Worlds
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
Because one track represents the ordinary world, and other represents the extraordinary world, they are TWO worlds

Ordinary World: I imagine this fitting very well with a SNES game like Earthbound. The bounciness and warm feeling make this a great hometown-type of track.

Extraordinary World: I like the attention to detail in the use of grace notes in the guitar sound. The brass sound has a wavering quality to it that fits the unnerving feeling that one would get if transported to an unfamiliar parallel world. Good job and thank you for sharing!

Nice tracks, especially the second one! And don't be worry for the 12 steps, there's already so many tracks to listen to ^^

Creative and fun composition! I love the mix between the synths, is that a trumpet synth? It sounds like a real trumpet, except that it's high vibrato :D

I thought so, but it sounded realistic. Nice one :)

This was a really fun listen. I loved the soundfonts used. They really add a lot of character to the songs. In particular I really like that orchestral hit(?) sort of sound that starts around 50 seconds into the second track. 

Developer

 Thanks!. indeed, it is an orchestral hit, I also thought it sounded pretty cool haha.  in case you want to know, I got it from a kirby Super star soundfont

That's pretty cool! I thought I was getting some Kirby vibes from these tracks. I think you used it really well here.

Love the composition here, and love the irregular time signature! (seems like 5+5+6+6).

Developer

yeah something like that, also thanks!

Neat chord choices in both pieces. I love the wonky melodies. Very distinct character in both settings. Great work!
