the two sections seperately are really good but they don't very connected :0
i love the fast part so muchhh it gives me like rpg secret area feels. overall, great work!! :)

There’s a lot in in the piece - it could even be two songs. The beginning lullaby is really nice and then it seems to tell the tale of a fright and dissociation that follows. The high sustained note, for the bright electric piano really vibrated with some pain for the measure.

Very calming to listen to and, a great choice of the VST! I like the idea of changing the D minor to major in the last A part. One idea might to be accentuate the introduction of the major chord. To me, it feels like an important moment in the piece and having something more to reflect and react to would be interesting. Personally, I like the dissonances towards the end and find them engaging to listen to in contrast to the earlier parts!

Really calming and atmospheric, it has a nice overall vibe.  I like how you made the main theme be intervals when it comes back again, you could also play with its rhythm as well to make it even more interesting. I also think some rhythmic variations in the left hand during the waltz-like portions would be great too.

Kinda sounds like a lulliby at the beginning,
the effects afterwards make it sounds like you're sleep deprived :).

I agree with Jofes it does stray a bit from the challange and a bit repetitive for a piano only track,
but I bet that re-constructing this with more instruments could make a pretty cool track for a video game!

I felt a lot of emotion in this, its quite evocative. I especially liked the melodies in the first half. Maybe using the waltz left-hand pattern held it back a bit in the more expressive sections.

The song feels a bit too simple and the most interesting part with the pitch shifts feels like it strays too far from the Piano only challenge.

The end also has some weird dissonance that I personally didn't prefer but I get if it was an artistic choice.
