A lovely, meditative OST, it sets the tone you are going for extremely well. The way you then transitioned into the conflict from "Stroll" to "Uh-Oh", then amped up the energy in "RUN" was fantastic! Extremely immersive. I do think "Northern Lights" could be a bit less bombastic. I understand what you're going for, but in the context of the whole track, maybe it could be tuned back a tiny bit? You set such a nice atmosphere with your prior tracks, but it was kind of blasted out of me when that track hit. I think with the wonderful atmosphere you've built up with all of your prior music, "Northern Lights" could be plenty beautiful and impactful with a softer palette of sounds. That's just my personal opinion though. Thanks for taking me on beautiful journey, it was really nice to listen to!

Thank you, Bodo! I am not that happy with the Northern Lights track overall, due to the mix but also conceptually. Thing is, when you put yourself on a very short timeline, you have to not get stuck on whether ideas are good enough - part of that track's idea was showing off wide range of the soundtrack, but I'd probably have done that track with a different concept if I started again and had some time to sit on it. Next Jam I'd like to have a full week and give much more depth to my submission; that's what I feel is a bit lacking in it now.
I am happy you listened to my work and liked it. ❤️
