your first track, fast road, is a wonderful introductory track! i love the guitar and bassline used in conjunction with the diverse and energetic percussion! the melody is quite nice as well - i like how you start with one idea, and build on it as the track progresses. it's not repetitive at all and instead keeps things recognizable and interesting! i really like the bass line as well!! well done!!

loving the jazzy percussion in "the lobby"... ooohh vibe and electric piano this is very much a nice little jazz theme!!! the instruments are very humanized and sound live! well done as well, same thing as the last track - you start with one idea and build on it and add melodic and instrumentation variation as the track progresses n im so here for that! im obsessed with that vibraphone line too ahh

the third track is fittingly energetic and panicked without doing too much and going beyond the genre you've built - really has that investigative vibe!! you achieved this well through the guitar ostinato as well as the repeating piano line. wowow love this

your final track is nicely executed as well! i like the effects you've placed on the instruments and the timbre of the track is achieved well, and fitting of the vibe of Melinda reflecting on everything that's happened so far. very somber track, love it!!!

ahh overall this was such a good listen and i like the level of storytelling youve put into this track! i saw in the comments that you didn't have much time to complete this submission, but for that being the case, this is really well done. my only critique is with the balance of instrumentation; sometimes i feel like the lower melodic lines like in the guitar would overpower the melody, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment in the slightest - like i said, for you having had little time to complete this, it's very well done and i really enjoyed listening!!!

wowowow i loved listening to this one!!!! thanks for sharing!!!! :DDDDD

Thanks a lot for your very nice and thorough comment !

I was indeed more under a stricter time pressure this time around (at least compared the OST Comp Jam 07 where I pretty much had nothing to do except working on music) because I worked mainly during the weekends and in the evenings of the week when I got home. However I feel that this album is stronger than the #07 I did even with the fewer time spent, so more time doesn't necessarily equal a hugely better final product for me I guess (having more experience now helps also of course).

I did use this "layering" thing quite a lot on gère now that you remind me of it, I had quite a lot of ideas so taking the time to bring them one at a time for the different instruments made sense for it (and it's pretty nice to have something evolve over time to not be too repetitive I feel). And because of this layering I did run into some issues like you pointed it out, at first the melodies were way louder than the rest but it would have been pretty uncomfortable for the listener to adjust the volume back and forth so I tried to make the volume a bit consistent across the different sound devices (I could have managed this a bit better though, better luck next time).

Anyway glad that you enjoyed it so much, it means a lot !
