Solid build-up, slowly adding layers and textures. It was a nice touch to revisit the main theme at the end of the track. Nice work.

Description
folk-rock music for short adventure game
Message from the artist:
Enjoy short trek into dangerous woods, which you will probably forgot…
Theme
a journey to remember.
How does it fit the theme?
Theme is slowly evolving, with rockish finale leave with boom, and only melody remains to remember.

very nice. I like the slow building up. the end fits the beginning very well, resulting in me listening to it twice not noticing my player was on loop.

SoundtrackI loved the extra-musical elements you incorporated! Felt very much like a journey. Nicely done!

There And Back AgainThese are actually two samples overlaying - sample of birds chirping and sample of insect buzzing etc.
I like how these samples made texture of living woods, but if I hade more time, I will probably use more various samples. It's kinda get repetitive, but I hope listeners will get distracted with melody and beat ~_^.
Big dungeon synth fan and this sounds like some of the early hallmarks of the genre. Thanks for sharing!

Magelight - What Will Become of YouI find your use of percussion fantastic! Really brings the soundscape together perfect for an OST themed in deep woods. Great work! <3

Retrouvaille - A Journey to RememberI liked the sound design, I was immediately caught by these birds and insects chirping. The mix of instruments was interesting as the melody evokes some kind of Celtic song while some percussion evoke eastern Asia. And then this surprising marimba encore, it definitely felt like a journey. Well done :)
The evolution of the orchestration works very well here, and the presentation of the melody benefits from a good instrumental choice which emphasizes it. On the other hand, I found myself humming the music in shifted octave and fifth, like a musical canon in 4 voices (octave, fifth and fifth + octave), and I could not resist the temptation to make it for real. So I realized the canon with Audacity (I hope you will not feel offended : the counterpoint is my cute sin) ^^ "Due to the structure of the music and the purety of the melody, it worked without any modification of the original file (with a little sound transformation because of the octaviation and fifth). Interesting to see the possibilities left by such an immersive composition. If you're curious to listen to the result (this music obviously belongs to you and which I will delete from my cloud as soon as the voting period is over or if you ask me to do so before): http://www.yazorius.com/canon.mp3. Whatever, your music in its original version is really good, and as you have probably already understood, I liked it a lot ^_^
Thank you for comment.
Canon concept sounds really interesting!
Guess the limitation of process of editing and deforming wave sample made some pretty weird disharmony, but you can download source file - "Unforgotten Trek.it" is impulse tracker format, with all samples/intruments, and you should have been able to edit it in all modern music tracker editor program - I used OpenMPT, but others will be fine too (Milky Tracker works).
Also, I wrote in description, that you are allowed to edit music file, in fact, I encourage it!
And for legal notes, I added licence, which is now CC-By-SA (you can modify, share, even use commercionally, if you keep original authors name and keep this licence ^_^)
I really enjoy the use of the bird sounds as part of the composition- really adds to the feeling of going on a dangerous journey! Also really enjoyed where the composition went- the guitar sound almost felt like a bagpipe- which I think is really cool!

A Journey to RememberThank you for comment.
Ideally, birds and nature sounds would be probably played by game engine, but I want them to be part of atmosphere, so I included them into track ^_^.
Hm... and bagpipe... maybe it's combination of electric quitar and flute, but sounds interesting, I will probably try it later ^_^.
