Thank you so much Eetu!

Thank you for your appreciation!

Thank you so much, it means a lot!

Great alien vibe, loved it!

When the track started with that wonderful sound design of a rocket departing from Earth I really thought I was about to hear a composition with a lot of heavy sound design and instead... Boom, lovely space smooth jazz, not that I'm complaining! It's all so tasty and fun, and quite peculiar for the jam assignment, so it definitely stands out. Sweet, very sweet

Quite bold and dynamic, I really like it! Gives off a lot of great doom vibes a là Indipendence Day. The only criticism I have is that the strings sound a little too "dry" during the most intense passages: a little more room reverb would have done wonders. But other than that, keep up with this, you're doing more than fine!

You definitely went down the epic route to convey the idea of a vast, eerie cosmos. The orchestration is exquisitely varied in this, relying on pure melody and percussions textures even for "narrative" effects. It's something I would still have a lot of difficulty to do, since I like special effects a little too much, and I respect you immensely for that. Great job!
 

Thank you so much man! I’ll have a listen at your work too, definitely ☺️

The sound design related to the spaceship ascending and then getting stranded is exciting, lush and unsettling like few others. Some bold choices in the chords during the third track, which are really nice! 

The fourth track has style and it’s produced in an ace manner but… it feels a little “foreign” to the overall style of the previous tracks? Other than that, top notch effort.

Pink Floyd influence is strong here, and it suits the theme so well. The sound design at the beginning in particular is subtle but top notch.

You can really perceive the “demo” feel in this, both in strengths and weaknesses: the raw, organic instrumentation gives a vibe of rugged authenticity to it all, although at times vocals were indeed a little rough. I appreciate you tried to find your own singing style. 

Bravo nonetheless!

It’s a pity you couldn’t complete the Chorale, otherwise this would’ve been a fully green-flagged work. The production is wonderful and the atmosphere is on point

Thank you so much, I appreciate the really extensive review! I’ll be glad to listen to your work as soon as possible too

Thank you! At some point I thought the arrangement was still sparse in the second part, when the bleep-blops come in, but I’m glad I managed to render a tense vibe

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Micerama!

Pokémon meets Stranger Things, just excellent! The 16-bit rate makes it feel like an authentic lost track from  past game and the sensation of dread and impending fate is on point.

Super!

Thank so much, Fox, it means a lot!

I love how you unified more traditional strings with more peculiar instrument sound, it caught my attention! 

Great sound effects, too!

This passes with full green flags from me, wow!

When you mentioned the use of electric guitar, before pressing play, I expected something quite different from what I actually heard, and you surprised me in the most positive way. Many represent post-apocalyptic scenarios with the usual creepy, desolate drones and pads or even with heavier styles, while you found your unique and original style in that. Top! 👍

Interesting style,  you really did a fantastic job! The sound design is so immersive and with its elements completing each other flawlessly, the atmosphere feels really cold but somehow cozy

The whole soundscape here really makes me feel I'm in a snowy forest at night, while tending my ear to its mysterious sounds and feel the icy wind on my face.

Nothing else to say but: great job!

This is just monumental, you really took me through an amazing journey and I thank you for that! Very unique style and concept that certainly distinguish themselves among the entries

Oh, my, this is incredibly tense, if not almost horrorific in an old-style sense... and I love it! The story it narrates definitely materialised in front of me through the sheer textures and tones of the orchestra and I can immediately feel a great control of composition from you. Bravo!

It gives me a lot of Pink Floyd vibes, which definitely tickles my musical bone! It's also quite unique regarding that style among the other entries, and that is a plus. Great dreamy and immersive atmosphere!

Definitely one of the most original entries I've heard until now, the blend of exotic instruments is so interesting and the sound design is top notch in its subtleness. 

I feel The Unburied Coil could've benefitted from a more prominent electric guitar, but that's just a matter of taste from me. Fantastic work!

Thank you so much!

Despite being in hurry, the lack of bass was in fact a precise stylistic choice, so I'm glad that worked out :)

Unique, innovative, lush, emotional. All of this in just about one minute and a half. Top production and sound design.

I can’t ask for more, stupendous job!

I love how this could sound longing with no context on why it was made, but in context it conveys a sort of silent but restless desperation (especially underlined by the strings heard in the second part) and a feeling of being lost in the nowhere, frozen and remote, with no escape route. 

It takes its time to envelope you in and the results are marvellous. Top work, one of the best!

Very conceptual but at the same time incredibly understandable and composed so brilliantly!

Love how you used the clock sounds to represent someone stepping in the snow in the final part, and those spicy little dissonant chords are lovely. It almost feels like a Nintendo Switch game OST.

Great work!

Interesting and unique composition approach? Check.

Lush arrangement and production? Check.

Fantastic sound design and atmosphere? Check.

This is perfect!

With choice of going with piano solo you managed to underline a sense of isolation, longing and fragility, and it all feels so human indeed.

The minimalist approach doesn’t diminish the prettiness of the melodies, and despite you saying otherwise your playing works and brilliantly at that! Good sprinkling of some discordant harmonies here and there, too!

The only nitpick is that I would’ve charge it with some little depth FX in order to give it a minimal winter ambience and therefore more “weight”, but your composition skills make up for that. Splendid!

Thank you Kale, I’m really grateful of your appreciation!

Thank you so much for the feedback! This definitely makes me feel less skeptic of my own work!

While the instrument does sound “midi” like, as others already said this has all the ingredients to be developed in something wonderful, but I think it’s brilliant already in this form! Your composition skills definitely help in this, and if it sounds this good even with a half-baked attempt like you deem it, then I can’t imagine how better it would sounds with more polish. Great work

Funny, playful and epic at the same time! Great arrangement and composition, it really does feel like an old-school fantasy/fairytale game. I really, really enjoy this :) 

Nice to meet a fellow Sine Player buddy :) Good choice of sounds, you rendered them in a quite realistic way! 

This invokes a lot of melancholy and weariness, but also sweet hope, and I love it. The composition is so solid, and even though it isn’t exactly innovative it is certainly wonderful. Great effort!
