Thank you! I've only just started trying to do crescendos and decrescendos as automation is a bit weird, annoying, and limited with my software, but it's doable. So I've been trying with my more melodic pieces, and I appreciate the advice in relation to that! I wanted the Rain to be the main thing you would hear aside from the music sounds, but in that process I did make the rain quite a bit louder. Next time, I've have look at using some volume controls on SFX. I'm glad you liked it! 

Knowing his work, thank you for the compliment! I may not be a pianist, but I can learn from the best. 

Howdy Howdy! I've been doing Jams for long enough to understand how they generally work, so I think I'll be able to answer your questions. 
1. For this specific Jam, there is no mention of working in groups, so technically you could work with another on your submission. However this Jam is focused, or at least it is to me, on how you, yes, you interpret the theme and if you stuck to it, and with this being a re-occurring Jam, it's also about how you improve over time. So I would recommend you work solo. However, that doesn't mean you can't have someone else have a listen and help you get things right! Feel free to share the current state of your submission on the Weekly Note Discord Server, or with others who could help you fix things. As long as it's not AI assistance, you're all good to go!

2. Correct! The theme of a Jam is generally always revealed right as it officially begins. 

3. Absolutely! There is only one rule that restricts what you make, and that's the No-AI rule (Generative AI). Other than that, you're free to make what you please as long as it sticks to the theme, loops, one shots, you name it! We're here to hear (ahah) what your and many other creative minds come up with. 

Sorry that this is being written literally half an hour away from when the Jam starts, hope I get to hear something made by you! 

I'm glad you liked it! Regarding the choice to lower the intensity as the song went on was just because I was running out of time after I had made the trap-beat section and needed to find a way to finish it. I had originally planned to have it repeat, but I was too busy to composing something like that with that amount of focus at the time. So instead, I opted for a nice and sweet finish. I love the bass as well! I'm absolutely obsessed with it's sound. 

On my way to the Race Track already with a tricked out Car! I love this track, you hit me right in my music brain. 

Love It! Big fan of Chiptune. Great cover art as well! 

You were not kidding when you said crazed and maniacal! It caught me off guard in a good way. 

Feels like I'm listening to a live orchestra!
