Overwhelmingly this is the kind of soundtrack that doesn't necessarily tie itself to the concept of a summer night; the connection to the theme is through the text you tell in the story (I don't sense it in the music).
First Encounter is a really cinematic track and breathtakingly beautiful. The impact that I'm getting from it, though, when it starts, is not "the world is fractured," but "look at the vast expanse that we're flying away from as we're soaring into space" -- a beautiful feeling, to be sure, because those strings and ambiences certainly convey that feeling really well. It feels too... cohesive to be fractured if you get my drift?
Garden conveys that feeling of fracture very well. From the very intro it hits hard, and hits home, what the situation is. It feels like a place of refuge, and also a place of sorrow all at once. It has a very Shadow Hearts feel -- I say this with very fond memories of playing Shadow Hearts back in the day.
Race Against Time has some beautiful spicc strings and percussion that give it an otherworldly, Alice in Wonderland type of feel to begin with, before it gets heavier on the bass, and more legato, and the gravity of the situation really sets in. This, and Garden, are your stronger tracks IMO.
Piece by Piece is a funny one. What I mean by that is, you say it no longer is violent, but rather bright and beautiful, but it still undergoes some distortion and you do convey that through the bass. The bass still has a violence of its own that I'm not sure conveys the feeling of "look how wonderful it is that things are being put together" -- I get that in glimpses, rather than an overarching picture that just floods my mind.
It's otherwise very cohesive instrumentally, very well produced, and a good storytelling attempt. Well done, and all the best for this jam!
