Really interesting composition! Feels like a full journey, by the way I loved the disonances, they sound kind of unexpected and I really like that!

Pretty original take on the theme, the mix is not bad at all even when a lot is happening it sounds decent. The dissonance people are talking to is most likely from what i've heard is chords on the low registrer, playing thirds there does not sound good by definition, you open up your voicing a bit put the third an octave higher and the problem is fixed instantly. Good job :)
I'd agree with some of the comments below that some of the dissonances don't sound right. But some of them do sound right (I mean they sound wrong, by definition, but they sound wrong in the right way). So...I'm just going to exercise my rights as a totally unprofessional amateur and say they cancel each other out.
But seriously, overall it was pretty great. I particularly enjoyed the groove you built up from around the 3:30 mark. I liked the juxtaposition of the flute and the spacey synth sounds.

Course of EmpireThere's something about that baseline early on and the piano that goes with it that's giving me big Ace Attorney vibes. That flute at 1:47 hits hard! It's maybe just a tad too overbearing but I do love the flutters. 4:54 is another great moment. These flute melodies are catchy. There were parts that were a little too discordant for my liking (personal taste) but on the whole it was a good entry.

Life and DeathTo start - amazing graphic for the video!
Love the uniqueness of the work - the change up at 1:50 is nice!
I enjoy the atonality throughout, its like a foreshadowing of the ultimate corruption shown in the series of paintings.
The bass drop at 4:50 is awesome!
I like how its ends with the uniformity of meter faltering.
Nice work!

Of Bloom and the BloodI like the different approach you took, although I had the pleasure of hearing great orchestra pieces, it comes to a point that even if you love something you need a pause, you just gave me my pause with no need for silence, quite unique!
Composing wise, although I really like the main motif and the song overall (second section prob my fav) I have an issue with some dissonances, I'm not sure if they were on purpose, but I honestly don't think they fit well with the rest of the arrangement.
Good job, take care :)

BeliumReally creative uses of pentatonic scales here, and the stuff you add around them provides a lot of texture. The high energy parts (like 1:47) are awesome!

What Happens on a StageI really like the William-Tell-like rhythm throughout the song, very enjoyable.
Some of the piano notes feels out of tune/key, not sure if this is intentional, but it does gives a bit of spice.
Good work!
