Very good start we get dragged into it easily. At 1:50 I would watch the piano playing rythmically and also the sample it sounds a bit cheap for the VST you can find free piano that are way way better with more control. 2:10 there is little trouble there the chord change is a bit weird and does not make sense with what you started previously with the piano and strings.
3:26 Storm blinds : would watch the reverb cut in the mid-low range, its accumulating fast and getting easily muddy. 4:05 same as 1:50 would watch the piano rythmically with the other instruments it a bit off and with all the instruments the piano playing octaves is almost lost in the space with all the strings and brass playing.  For panning orchestral instruments you can follow the conventional position of every instrument in the classical orchestra and pan accordingly to it. 
Ever forward is well done, missing maybe some low elements at one point would be nice just for a second or two.
Hope of sunset, also, reverb is great but everything is muddy on the piano and we need some clear space, cut 500hz in the low and boost your piano highs a bit, you can use more samples blended together for piano thats what I usually do, I have 3 different pianos, 1 pan a bit left another right and a third one very low but with lots of reverb as a room piano.
Hope this helps.

Definitely very unique,  super mysterious and minimalist, lots of harmonic choices that I was surprised. I never really knew where you were going. Thing to look for it probalby the percussions mix, they sound fine but very dry you can probably play with a bit of reverb you have lots of space to do it. Well done :)

Good story telling musically you have nice ideas and it well arranged overall. You probably went for stock plugin for your tracks which is great and it works but there is a lot of awesome free plugins out there that will help you tremendously to get a better sound and not be stuck in the "Old MIDI" era. Also I saw in your daw you automated the master volume up, I would suggest not to do that and keep the master flat where its at to 0.0db and play with automation on all the other tracks or group of tracks if you want to move something, this way it leaves the options and easily control your mastering on your master track.  :)

Good build up and story telling musically, it feels like one big concept album, its very sorrow and minimalist, I like the different orchestral instrument used for the different tracks. Good job :)

Nice idea, I really like the cello spicatto transitionning to the bassoon from left to right that was well done, I can easily imagine a continuation to this good start !

Thank you very much :) , there is about 18 unique footsteps with 3 layers on each that are also randomized to create new foosteps so there is a lot different to the ears.

That was definitely the most unique take of the jam that I have heard. Really cool experimental take for an improv it all blended pretty well together too. Good job !

Very melodic and emotional, what a nice journey you give us, good arrangement. Some tiny minor playing issues here and there but thats it, maybe in terms of mix we could boost a bit on the mastering but the arrangement is already well done thats its already very good. Well done !

Very cool ambiance its very mysterious and a tiny bit of suspence/jazzy but with some Portal 2 elements in there. The song also feels like a never ending story, it leaves me in a suspended state, especially with the last chord. Very unique , good job :)

Very interesting style mix up. Lots of subtle details and arrangement. Its very well composed too, Extremely creative like I said with the styles mixing up which are completely different on their own and you managed to do something great with it. Well done.

Beautiful work, I like the harmonic progression. Filled with emotions, made me re listen 2-3 times to be sure of the feelings it gives.  Proof that it does not need to be complicated to do something amazing. Great job.

Super cool sound design, I love the build up and all the small grains and the minimalistic details. Very cohesive, anime soundlike at the end. Awesome collab well done !

Thank you for your kind words, always appreciate it. The sampled footsteps are heavily processed into the percussion blended with actual percussions which is subtle but still part of the track.

Pretty unique stuff, you got your own sound and its fantastic. Nice chords and good arrangement mix with the synths, guitars and effects. Nicely done :)

Figured you speak french so I will comment in french : Très chouette arrangement et orchestration c'est un motif très chouette et une belle évolution avec la progressions des vents. Le mix est bien mais je trouve un peu sec/dry, ajouté un peu de reverb légé un peu partout puisqu'il n'y a pas de percussions ça pourrait vraiment aider à avoir plus d'espace dans le mix. Bravo :) pour le premier jam :)

Very neat Orchestration I like the vibe its very cool. The very first seconds from the beginning you used some super cool sound design like a bass rumbling I thought was pretty unique but you barely used it again :( . Really nice arrangement overall, I enjoyed listening, well done 

Nicely done my guy, good piano playing and voicing I really like the harmonization on this album and the story telling.  Even though its minimalistic its a proof we don't need to get fancy to have something beautiful to hear. Not gonna lie normally I expect you to do someting extravagant that I don't expect with lyrics and 80's stuff or metal, anything but this and it was a nice surprise. Well done.

Good story telling musically, you placed well your instrumentation. The thing you'll need to look for is the collrelation with your orchestral range and arrangment between the instruments mostly on the strings. The Harmonic voicings are nice but you can probably spread it out more to give a wider soundscape. The mix is very good though, well done.

Super cool track, I enjoyed the funky bass alot and the rythms section was very well done, its nice to listen to some different rythmic variations, good job :)

Very nice story telling inside your music, a good play on emotions and a lovely arrangement, what more to ask, well done !

Very nice use of the synths, I like the vibe and the cohesion between the tracks. It realy fit the scenes you imagined from the description. Some of the sound palette reminds me of Portal especially the 3rd track. Great work, well done !

Lovely piece, nice play on expression and emotions you did a great story telling in music well done arrangment, good job :) 

What a fantastic build up, very well mixed and procuded. Lots of subtle details, I like the chords you used  when I don't expected where you're going in your progression it feels refreshing and surprised in a good way. Well done :)

I never know what to expect from you every single time and i'm still surprised XD. You're one of the few who actually puts lyrics in your track too, you're doing like a big Dany Elfman metal version song. Its goes everywhere but keeps us grounded. Super unique stuff, good job :)

Very nice, I like the contrast on all the pieces, they are different but you kept some elements that makes the album cohesive.  I love the intro motifs, its very simple but I think the sound you used is very creative. well done :)

Oh wow that is a lot of content and the mix sounds really neat too ! I really like the simple groove it gets to you, good job :) 

Better late feedback than ever. Its very nice to see that you're using every new organic instrument you made yourself or bought at some point.  Thats also why I like the very piece the most since its very "primitive" and organic which fits the enviornnement, i think i'll repeat myself but I would like the percussion to be a bit more boomy and bassy, it can be subtle but just to give a "oomph" to the tracks. You'll also need to fix some tempo and rythm playing I know you're playing yourself everything but still i'll go hard on this one, record again and again if need be XD.  The third painting was unexpected if possible I think its a nice beginning for a flute concerto or something that you can probably expand later with a full orchestra. Also 4th painting boom those percs and some playing has to change also, I know eerything was rushed and incomplete so you did what you could in the time allowed. Desolation is also very cool like the first one I can recognized your style over all on this one going back to the beginning. There we go hope you enjoyed the critique :)

Very well orchestrated, it shows you experimented alot with orchestration you know how its done, awesome arrangement on everything and it even sounds great in the mix. Fantastic work, well done. You will most likely win this one, at least its gonna be #1 for Composition.

Very nice arrangement it was super fluid, I relistened without looking at the picture to see when its gonna transition and everything was smooth. Well done on this one :)

Nie orchestration I like the arrangement overall its well done, nice voicings.

Harmonuy - Well its Concerning Hobbits vibe for sure.

Arrogance - I think you need some low end, add some bass trombone - tuba with doublebass to add some depth

The other piece are good its just probably some mixing so fill some gap in the spectrum but the composition is very well done nice story telling. good job ;)

Very cool, I like the arrangement you went for, I think the mix is decent don't be too hard on yourself, maybe you're missing some low end at some point but thats it. The only thing in terms of composition, everything is turning around some high strings melody, I would love a change of instrumentation or range playing this part so we can move from the high pitch stress. A part from that its pretty solid good job ;)

I like the arrangement and instrumentation you used, the mix is also pretty decent. The most crazy part is you did everything with ProTools X. I like Capital Sleeps, its reminds me of some Age of Empire II OST just to chill while doing your scenario, good job ;)

I like the arrangement its very sweet, I really like the change of pace at 2:20 its a nice breath of fresh air to another section more legato. The only thing to consider is play with expression on the strings and probably the sound of the strings itself is very "airy" and bright, some EQ or just a different patch would do the work, well done :)

I like all the ideas you have, the mix sounds pretty bright in general, I think its just a question of some EQ on a couple of instruments to balance everything correctly. Most of your orchestration is pretty decent you probably just need to change some voicing to make everything sound wider. Golden age track I thought you were gonna do Game of Thrones theme for a moment not gonna lie XD. Good job :)

Nice again the indie band fever dream that you create, its some very nice build up that you progressively add some stuff slowly and slowly and I'm waiting to see what is going to happen. The obvious like some people said, you need a bass at some point to sit us down, it would be SOOO satisfying you have no idea. I like that you tried to go off your comfort zone with some experimentation I think it give a little taste thats puts more originality. Good job :)

Pretty original take on the theme, the mix is not bad at all even when a lot is happening it sounds decent. The dissonance people are talking to is most likely from what i've heard is chords on the low registrer, playing thirds there does not sound good by definition, you open up your voicing a bit put the third an octave higher and the problem is fixed instantly. Good job :)

All right, you're certainly experienced with orchestral composition in general it shows.  Its very well build the arrangement the woodwinds runs, the swells, maybe somethings the strings could be more present in some case but it might be a question of mix with other instruments. The only instruments really that sounds a bit more MIDI then the others is probably when its powerful brass but because you have a good arrangement it does not show up too much. The only reference I had in mind is on the 3rd piece it sounds a bit like The Mask of Zorro at some point which is great James Horner stuff is fantastic. I can also see the Ori and Blind forest influence like you mentioned Gareth. Great work on this one.

Very sweet approach, did not expect anyone to go for a more minimalistic approach, definitely starts experimental but you went more tonal after even in teardown.  Leftover is the best so far its very simple but I like the ambiance you went for in general. good job :)

Nice build up, its sounds very progressive :) I like the effects, its pretty well mix too, good job :)
