The very first two chords you used in the entire soundtrack in “Wish” are so magical and spacey and lend themselves to setting the overall tone of your entire work. The transitions into each new song after the first were so smooth and lend themselves wonderfully to the story you wrote (excellent by the way). This story and music deserves to be made into a short film! My favorite tracks are Moon Rise for the build-up, hopeful chord progression, use of return to and developing your main leitmotif, and perfect emotional climax of the story; and the Knowledge of the Albatross for the musical representation of the animal in your story and the acoustic painting with the light strings representing drafts of wind over the calm sea. 

We as video game composers always talk about how we want to enhance the emotion of the gameplay or the visuals, but this is such a difficult task to employ. I think that when you are able to see the animations and the visuals without even opening your eyes and just letting the music immerse you in the story, this is a sign that you are achieving that goal we all are striving toward. You have achieved that, my friend! This is excellent work and you should be extremely proud! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you took the time to listen fully and share your feedback. And I love that you were able to see the story come to life. I tried to combine "diegetic" instruments like strings for waves and winds for the Albatross alongside the piano melodies. I'm so glad it seems like it worked!

You're totally right that it's our job as composers to bring out the best in the visuals we're given. I think we're incredibly lucky to have this jam format as an opportunity to create both the vision and the delivery. It's a very cathartic experience and it seems like every time I'm going through the submissions for a new jam I discover this magic all over again :)
