Description
This is my first time going for a more orchestral feel and first experience using lietmotifs

The whole project took about 6 days to try to make it a level I was satisfied with

I made spring more bombastic with horns and short loud bursts of bass and horn
while summer is more laid back with a more calm grass feeling, leading into fall with a sort of hectic cadence rather than a normal laid back autumn reflecting the preparations and trials to get ready for winter, winter being the climactic finish is while the bpm is the slowest it has more happening than the rest, with a little flashback to spring at the end (where the protag would ultimately succed)

All tracks were made, mixed, and produced in Fl using stock plugins and effects

Message from the artist:
My name's Ox, This is my submission for Lone Rabbit's Comp Jam

Finals and the Jam had me stuck on both sides with this project, but it somehow pulled through in time

I had joined at around 6 days left so I really put on the afterburners

Theme:

Story of Seasons

How does it fit the theme?
Admittedly not very fleshed out, in essence an adventure game where the protagonist takes on a journey through a land of the four seasons surviving the various challenges they bring

The protag would face different enemies in the areas related to the seasons, each with their respective strengths and weaknesses

I'm getting a strong area surrounding a downtown abbey feeling. It was cool have an all strings ensemble for all the tracks. Made for a very homogenous experience. Nicely done!

love the continuity between the tracks like in summer and fall! like how the harp continues a similar ostinato into the next track

Thank you for the feedback, I tried to make sure I used at least one of the same element from the previous track!

The end of winter was lovely, maybe some game of thrones inspiration in the melody :)

I would agree with Nillan that you could have gotten the idea across with less repetition.

Thank you, winter was probably the funnest to work on, and in the future I'm definitely gonna work on mixing things up. I really appreciate the feedback!
