Love this take on the theme, I can totally imagine what you were going for in terms of game content. I actually like the mud in the mix from a stylistic/narrative standpoint. It oozes this really rich and interesting vibe. Great work!

This had me smiling a lot. So very creatively immersive. The voices are such a highlight, but ofc the music is fantastic too.

Fantastic orchestration and writing! Just fantastic and mystical, I love the way you craft your lines to float above and around one another. The constant ear candy and new timbres were also so fun to listen to.

Great work! Loved the tin whistle writing and my favorite track was A Song of Adventure. I think the dry mix is a nice choice for the smaller ensembles, but for the larger ensemble pieces, it might make sense to add more of a wash to emphasize the greater presence and create some narrative contrast. But other than that, this was great fun to listen to!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words and noticing the cello part in The Quiet Country! Really tried to write as simply as possible to allow for that specific kind of harmonic/melodic overlap and I'm glad to hear it was noticeable.

Thank you for your kind words and the feedback about the mix! And thanks for the feedback about the inter weaving lines, I was playing around with the idea of instruments echoing one another this jam to try and express the "forgotten" part of the theme, and sometimes couldn't decide on the value of imitation vs sequence. Might've gotten a lil lost!

Thank you for the kind words!

I think you accomplished that beautifully!

So very very very fun! Wonderful part writing and it feels so lively! 

Thank you!

Well crafted and extremely tense. This was a great listen, I really appreciate the use of silence. No notes bravo!

Beautiful work, I especially love the piano trails in the back of the synths in The Journey. The Witch is also a super nice melancholy track, great job with the piano. 

This is such a fun idea, the Tavern was definitely my favorite track of them all. I'm pretty unfamiliar with SWAM strings, but I think there was definitely more that could be done with the string sound as they sound a little too much like a keyboard soundfont imo. In any case I had a blast playing along on keyboard, though I don't know if you had any specific instrument in mind for play along purposes. I thought everything was super doable and fun. It might help user playability to add slurs but it's super intuitive even without. Fantastic entry!

Yeesh, crazy amount of wonderful stuff here! Your thoroughness and storytelling is top notch, I can barely comprehend how you could get this all done in this short amount of time bravo. I also greatly enjoyed the reading your end notes in the google doc.

Nice work, I think this collection of music is super fun and fits the vibe you were going for well. I think there was a few moments where things felt a little repetitive not necessarily compositionally but mockup wise, but I think for this vibe it still works quite well.

This is a delightful work, the variation in types of sounds and your ability to keep coherent flow amidst all of it was a treat to listen to. 

This was a very enjoyable submission, I love the tone you set in Forgotten and wish the mix highlighted the beginning portion w/ choir/strings more so the transition to solo piano would be just devastating. The swells in ground level are wonderful piano work. I was a little unclear on whether there would be a loop point going from Main to Ground Level and back again, but I think it could be effective. Good stuff!

Thank you so much!

What wonderful storytelling. This is an incredible piece of work and I really appreciate the material you added to your project page. I do think adding a teensy bit more tempo variation would make the sparser tracks, like the duets sing more nicely together, but overall a fantastic job!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you!

Nice work! I think the flow of these tracks are fun. I think you could benefit from adding more percussion to Tavern Vision, though of course it depends on the type of flashback you're going for. 

Great variation! I enjoyed the different tones you set and felt a strong sense of coherency throughout. Felt that your orchestration is really well thought out. I think everything could definitely benefit from better samples, but at the same time your current sound fonts do have a great amount of charm. Good stuff!

Nice work, I enjoy the tone you're setting, but did feel there was an eventual staleness with the timbral elements of the instrumentation. Still, I think the material was growing and changing nicely.

Wonderful sound and variation. The intensity of your tracks is a lovely treat for the ears.

Thank you!

Not too familiar w/ PS2 soundfonts here, but I have to say I love the ambiance it sets! I really enjoyed Bacchus the Augur so so so much. It got my attention immediately and I appreciated that it felt like it wasn't in a big rush, but still felt just as, or if not, even more intimidating.

I love the storytelling here, it is fantastic, and your instrumentation ideas were gorgeous. My favorite track was A World of Old, but I do wish there was a little more variation in dynamics to sell the impact of the orchestration, but I also think that's completely to personal taste. Wonderful job!

Superb job! As many others have already said the way you worked with the channel limitations made the entire work so very alive. Thank you for your work!

Great work! I, like many others, really appreciate the developments you have in your second track, but I definitely think The Long Trek is my favorite because it really sells the ambiance you were going for and sets a great tone for Our Home to work.

I really enjoyed your work here in how genuinely it feels like it portrays itself. I think my favorite track was Minstrel Meanderings because of your careful use of breaks. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Wonderful work, slaps very hard. Really enjoyed how delicate you made the entire composition feel. Thanks for the great submission!

Thank you!

Wonderful work here, I love the lines you've written and greatly appreciate the gravitas you convey!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the kind words! The accordion sound is the keyscape harmochord.

Thank you!
