This is a really lovely track. It evolves nicely, but remains very coherant as a single piece of music. I really feel a sense of magic and adventure in this. Strong JRPG vibes in this, it reminds me of the music from the forest areas of FFXIV in a good way. Really well balanced in the orchestration and mix as well.

A Journey To Remember - OSTVery well orchestrated, fun to listen to, balanced mix and full of well composed musical content. It also sounds very professional. I loved it.
Great work!

Duality (OST Composing Jam)Very nice bg music, kinda nostalgic - reminds me fantasy games from 90s...
Too bad that 2nd and 3rd track are missing...

(Un)Forgotten TrekSorry for the two other tracks missing. I've made a mistake while uploading on itch.io and Soundcloud : I've focused on the first file as if there was only one, forgetting there was three, doing like for Dyzantheria. And when I've gone back to Itch two day after, I realised the problem but it was too late to change my mistake. So, it's my fault, no problem I assume everything. I just have changed the text on Itch and Soundcloud about the three tracks, but I coul't change the description written for the Jam ... The two other files (Main Menu & Fight) are here, on my desktop ^^"
I can upload them now, in a separated file, on my own cloud. But don't use them to make your opinion of the OST for this Jam. I forgot them, my fault, so they really don't have to be considered.
If you listen carrefully, you will can hear some same melodies use here differently, as most are leitmotiv/structural elements for characters and quests.

Wow, this fit the theme beautifully!! I could see this working in a number of different games. Gives me Terraria nostalgia. :) Really well done!!

Magelight - What Will Become of YouThe marimba really adds a whole lot to it- really enjoyed how that instrument was utilized. The chord structure throughout is also really cool- with modulations and some non-typical things happening. Really awesome- totally felt like a great town/area theme!

A Journey to RememberThis is a really impressive piece! There's a lot going on, but the main motif is very clear throughout. Love the variety of instruments you've used, really making use of the whole orchestra.

The Monolithhave a feeling you played way to much Gameboy games :). very nice, and yes, it has a Gameboy vibe for me. reminds me a lot old games I played, probably not your intention, but it is a journey into memory lane for me.

SoundtrackLove love love all these modulations. Great traditional style orchestration with that super lovable vgm twist we all long for. The motivic development here is real. That super catchy motif, with all its subtle placements in ostinatos and when it transforms to minor, ahhh yes *chefs kiss*
I say, with every compliment should go a constructive critique. And since I'm not the most knowledgable about orchestrations of this style I'll just say, take some time to really make your scores readable. You could have a really sweet portfolio showcasing with this. I'm a huge fan of score material.
With that said, if you want to improve on score writing, always check your work after you import it to musical notation software. I know there were time constraints and to be fair, its not super important to this submission, but I would have loved to really analyze some of your musical decisions and ideas. And its very difficult to do that when there is no bass cleff haha!
Really inspiring orchestration and thanks for rating my piece, cheers!
