Whoops! Appears I forgot to to actually include the file. >.< 

Should be corrected now. Thanks for the heads up.

Choirs would benefit from some crescendo/decrescendo... maybe break up that long held-out note by the men's choir a bit, let them re-attack the note. Love the bass line (very Halo-esque) and mallet melody. Nice punchy drums.

Somber piece. Some nice dynamics in the whole note horns but felt the choirs would've benefited from some crescendos/decrescendos. 

There's no file to download or stream link.

Really fun composition. I could see this fitting a fast-paced action game (guitar riff at 0:20 straight-up put me in mind of Twisted Metal). The lead that comes in at 1:03 is much louder than the rest of the mix.

Nice, uptempo playful tune. Think it would benefit from panning the instruments out a bit.

Guitar provides some nice resonance and the cello works well to provide harmony. Song is simple and serene. Too much bird for my taste.

Description:

Double jamming with this one. So I noticed that the "Composer Weekend Jam #5" and "Weekly Note Composing Jam #37" jams were running concurrently, so I decided to make a song that could be submitted to both. 

"Composer Weekend Jam #5" had the stipulation that the song must contain a live-recorded element, so I performed the guitar parts.

"Weekly Note Composing Jam #37" had as its theme "Scrapyard Symphony", so I decided to make a moody dramatic rock song that would suite a junkyard setting. 

Beautiful guitar melody and counterpoint. Felt the dynamics on the horn at the end could've been shaped a bit more... on the whole notes it feels like it should crescendo to the halfway mark and then decrescendo IMO. Well mixed, peaceful tune that fits the theme well.

Got a bit of a FTL vibe at the beginning with the mallets and pad. Bass has a nice warm tone.  I like the transition at 1:30. Pleasant, well-mixed tune that fits the theme well.

Sound crackled at some of the louder parts on the mp3. Song would suite a classic sci-fi adventure well. Very dynamic piece and the instrumentation strongly conveys the sci-fi vibes. Tasteful use of phaser and I like the chimes. The section at 0:47 builds some really cool tension--Darth Vader's lurking! 

Well mixed, beautiful piano melody and harmony works well. Pads provide some tension. Song has a sense of longing. 

Lo-fi beat works well for this calm piece and the lead synth melody is lovely. Bass has a nice warm tone. 

Uptempo with a high sense of energy. Percussion part is really cool and I like the panning on it. Felt it would've benefited from a bass riff and maybe a legato part to provide some free motion motion. You've got the bones of a cool song here.

Interesting composition, gives off a strange vibe (in a good way) and the guitars are performed well. Felt the ride cymbal could've been brought down a little, let the guitars stand out more. The mix gets a little busy around 1:25 where the pad comes in.

Very well mixed, fun composition. 

Interesting instrumentation. Felt the bass could've been brought up a bit. 

Snare is loud and distracting tbh. Horn melody is lovely, ditto for the piano and bass parts. Crowd ambience works well with the lo-fi vibe. The conversation samples work well, though  tbh after the line "If I could do one thing with my life, I want to sing" I was hoping for some singing (I mean, if a song's gonna' tease it, come on!)

Piano and bass are nice and work really well, very jazzy. That said, the snare stands out too much and tbh the shakers are a little loud compared to the rest of the mix as well.

Solid for the most part. Enjoyed the piano and sax sections. Felt the transition in the drum pattern at 1:22 could've been smoother.

Piano and harmony work well. Felt the drums were a little too punchy for a laid-back piece like this. 

Really like the bass groove on this one. Crackle adds a nice bit of lo-fi texture. Really sells the theme. 

Guitar melody is nice and the flute counterpoint works well. Tasteful use of reverb. Warm tone overall. Not sure the crescendo on the mallets around 1:58 was necessary... kinda' goes against the grain of this piece to go for a dramatic moment IMO.

Tubular bells and organ immediately set the spooky castle vibe, very large and powerful sound. I like the harpsichord melody and the choir. Honestly could suite an execution scene quite well. 

Very atmospheric. Could see it fitting quite well in a stealth game. 

Nails a halloweeny vibe and has really nice drum rhythm. I like the organ/guitar instrumentation as well as the melodies/counterpoint. The timpani is noticeably panned to the far left.

Ominous, driving bass rhythm, bombastic brass hits, and a cool horn melody. I like this one. One thing I'll say is that during the outro, the instrument accompanying the bass is a bit quiet, could've brought it up a little.

Cool rock song with solid composition, would work well in a Castlevania-like game*. 1:12, 1:22, and 1:39 were especially cool moments IMO.

*Disclaimer: I've never actually played a Castlevania game. >.>

The song has and ominous vibe certainly builds tension as it becomes more dissonant (and I like the articulation of the strings on that last chord before the percussion hit). Felt that last chord could've been held out a bit longer before the drum hit tbh, build up some more tension.

Majestic and mysterious intro and melancholy outro. The square synth melody was pretty cool.  Dramatic sweep at 0:52 and the pads in that section add some nice harmonic texture (also like the change in drum rhythm there). Tasteful use of timpani. Liked this one.

This song honestly feels like it wants to be a dance song, just could use some rhythm parts.

Gather thy party and steel thyself, brave adventurer; an epic song awaits! Really nails the fantasy castle vibe with that 3/4 cello/snare rhythm and instrumentation. The brass could've been brought down a little after its initial introduction, IMO (especially during the harp melody). Harp outro was cool (honestly wouldn't have minded if that section were expanded).

Really cool, creepy composition. Felt the high pitch range got a bit crowded (some low pass filters might not be amiss, IMO). 

The tap echoes in the percussion and arp provide a nice sense of space I really enjoyed the melody that comes in at 0:40 (tbh I felt you could've introduced this section earlier than you did). The sound design/instrumentation reminded me a bit of the original Deus Ex. Nice song.

Jump scare "okay" intro, lol. I like the pads that came in right after that and the guitar synth/mallets have nice tones (really like the pitch bends on the guitar). 

Well mixed, well composed, and has a ton of personality, though the drop at 1:02 was a bit abrupt without any buildup. 

I like the big and bombastic brass, especially during the intro. Song has personality which is good for a wrestler intro. And as I noted when this was shared on the discord, this feels like it also could suite a college football setting.

Fun, uptempo song with a ton of energy. Feels like it'd well-suite a pixel-style ring-style boxing/wrestling/MMA game. Only thing I'd critique is that the bass overpowers the melody... it probably could've been brought down a bit at 0:10 onwards when the melody comes in IMO.

Alright, listened to this on the youtube video on the project page. Really nice rhythm with a sense of motion. Love the jazzy piano section at 0:57. 

Well mixed for the most part and an exciting and enjoyable uptempo piece. However, I found the squealies frequent on the guitar part a bit distracting.
