Really pretty piece! Just from listening to the piano solo, it's making me wonder how this would sound with a orchestral arrangement in the sort of Joe Hisaishi style from Ghibli films like Princess Mononoke, somehow Im getting the feel that style would fit well for this.
Brilliant stuff!

The Far ReachesFunnily enough, i just watched Princess Mononoke for the first time the day i rated your submission 😁 (that's why i felt the style fitting that as I was listening).
I've gotten the Mononoke reminescence mention before, on a piano track for another jam, so I must've listened to the Mononoke soundtrack before unknowingly, or just that Hisaishi uses some recurring elements in his Ghibli stuff that i used too.
I did have My Neighbour Totoro on a VHS growing up that I've seen probably 50+ times, so I've probably have internalised some "Hisaishi-isms" from that.
Glad you liked it! Kinda wish i had a better work ethic to actually finish the other tracks in the submission that were pretty unfinished/rough still😅.
Lovely piece, a bit of Erik Satie influence in there probably or at least that what i've hearing. Good composition and arrangement nice play with dynamics,. At 1:03 its very nice and I know its meant to be quiet but with the contrast of the previous section I think its too quiet, you can take up a notch in volume to make it seem a bit more present, keep the velocity low so the dynamics won't change but in terms of mix you can crank it up just a bit so its not quiet. Well done.

Forever's EdgeThank you! I have played some Erik Satie, so I can see how you would think that. I agree with you, I actually did not have a chance to automate stuff because of the deadline, so I had to leave it as is, but totally agree, it would have benefited from raising the volume and not the velocity. I really liked that you went ham with procedural stuff in Wwise, would love to see a YouTube video showing what you did.
Oh, I like this right away. This is so pretty.
Some of this reminds me of some of the things I've written in the past, especially improvising on the piano. It's like you make the decision to avoid the same things that I do.
I love this. I have to share a couple of the things that I've written that your stuff reminds me of now!

Great work.
It's a combination of playing some stuff I had already come up with and improvising off of that on both tracks.
At one spot in Gilded Strands, I'm actually overlapping me playing twice. I know I could practice that section to play it like that without the layering, but that's the one spot I relied on a little layering to make up for technique.
Amazing, I love to see the maximum potential of the piano that can always allow it to be alone, each section has a different dynamic and makes it a very complete composition. I love it!

Then, Now at the same timeLove the track Javier! Very moving, although it sounds eerily similar to Song of Time in places XD

Jiggyicarus - The Far ReachesLove the dynamics. I really liked your interpretation of the theme and how it is conveyed in the composition, simple yet powerful. I look forward to hearing more of your works!
