Thanks again, I really appreciate both the kind words and the advice! I’ll definitely look into Nathan Nyquist’s books, they sound fascinating. I’m always excited to dive deeper into every aspect of music and production :) 

Thank you for listening to my submission and for leaving such a kind comment, I really appreciate it. I’m glad the atmosphere and variations worked for you.

Your feedback was very encouraging to read, so thank you again. I’m glad you enjoyed the piece! :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my track and leave such thoughtful feedback, it really means a lot to me. I truly appreciate the kind words and the advice as well, especially regarding the foley/SFX cohesion and the use of buses. Those are things I definitely want to improve on moving forward.

My background is mainly in classical piano, and I’ve only recently started exploring this side of music production and sound design. I’ve always been passionate about video game and film music though, so these jams have been a really fun way for me to explore that world.

Thanks again for the encouragement, and I’m looking forward to the next jam too! :) 

Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave feedback, I really appreciate it. I’m glad the composition, mix, and overall theme worked for you.
That’s a fair point about the recognizable Omnisphere patches. I’m still pretty new to VSTs and sound design, so during the jam I focused more on composition and atmosphere. I’ll definitely keep your comment in mind for future tracks and try to make the sounds feel more unique next time :)

I love the choice of SNES-inspired sounds, it adds a great retro vibe. Watching the story unfold on screen while the music plays is very immersive, it makes you feel part of the quest. The different moods fit the story in unique ways, and it has a vibe reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy games, especially the older titles :)

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment :)

I love that the lyrics are in Icelandic, and their meaning is beautiful. The track blends different styles in an interesting way, with a tense, slightly unsettling mood. The vocals are impressive and contribute to a fully immersive experience :)

I like the mood of all three tracks, they each feel quite different. I really like the vocals in The Forge. I enjoy the contrast between the tense background and the dreamy melody in The World. The Curse has a very hypnotic, ambient feel, which works really well, and I like the background a lot as well :)

I really like the mysterious and melancholic mood of the track. It has an enchanting feel to it and gives me a slight Danny Elfman vibe, which I enjoy. It’s a beautiful piece overall :)

I like the groove and jazzy feel of the track. It’s very upbeat and catchy, and I didn’t expect this style for the jam, but it’s really enjoyable to listen to. The melody is fun and sticks in your head easily. The track is well structured and everything fits together well :) 

I like the ambient feel at the beginning and the shift at 0:51 into a more heroic sound. The second part has a very cinematic feel, with a kind of Morricone-like vibe for some reason, which I really enjoy. It all works well together :) 

I really like the orchestral feel of the track and how the different elements build up over time. It has a mysterious mood overall, and feels very beautiful as a whole. I especially like the melody and the emotional build-up from 1:57 to the end :)

Both tracks are really nice. The melody in Forging the Astral Lance is very pleasant, and Wielding the Astral Lance is cool as well, with a more urgent feel that I really like. There are some interesting ideas in both versions, and the different layers work well together :) 

I like the sci-fi and ethereal feel of the track. The warped and distorted background sounds are really cool and create a nice sense of tension. It pulls you in, and it’s well put together overall :)

This is a really original take on the theme, and I didn’t expect this style, but it works well. I like the drum rhythm, the airy feel, and the synths. The way the layers come in over time feels very natural. I also like the calm section in the middle, it has a very ethereal quality, and the bass at 3:02 sounds really cool :) 

I really like how the music reflects the story in the description. It has a nice ambient quality to it, and the atmosphere feels very immersive, so it’s easy to just get carried along by it. I also like the different layers of instruments and how well they work together, everything feels very cohesive :)

I really like the dark yet heroic feel of the melody. There’s a nice balance between light and darkness throughout the track, which fits the legend behind Dyrnwyn really well. I also like the intensity of the piece and how well it’s structured. It creates a strong, epic feel overall :)

There are some interesting ideas in this track. I like the tense feeling at the beginning, and the instrumentation gives the piece a heroic feel. The melody keeps evolving throughout the track, which gives it a dynamic and unpredictable quality. Overall, it’s an enjoyable listen :)

I really like the sci-fi feel of this track and the tense atmosphere it creates. It pulls you in straight away and has a very cinematic quality to it. I saw your comment about expanding it with more instruments soon, and I’m genuinely curious to hear where you take it, because the foundation already sounds really promising. Really cool piece overall :)

This is really cool, I wasn’t expecting a poem in a track, which makes it feel quite unique. I also saw in the comments that it’s your own voice, and I really like it. It has a nice deep quality and I love the layered vocals, with the different lines and harmonies working really well together. I really like the melody, and the epic warrior-like tone in the background fits everything really well. It all comes together really nicely :) 

It’s really beautiful and dreamlike. I really like the melody, everything feels well thought out, and the track develops nicely. It has a very airy, ethereal feel to it :)

I really like the overall mood of the track, it feels very thoughtfully written and develops naturally. The chord changes are really nice and work really well in the track. The mood change around 2:13 into something darker is also great. This is one of my favourite tracks from the jam, really beautiful with a melancholic and mysterious feel :) 

I like the overall mood of the track, with a nice balance between brighter and darker elements. It feels very airy and immersive, and it comes together really nicely :)

The overall vibe of the track is really nice and easy to listen to. I especially like the guitar, it sounds great and carries the piece really well. It’s a smooth and enjoyable listen overall :) 

It has a chiptune-like feel and a really fun vibe. The music is quite addictive and very enjoyable to listen to :)

This is quite experimental, which I find interesting. There are some creative ideas here, and I like how unique the track is. It’s an unusual but enjoyable listen :)

The beginning is really beautiful and calm, and it develops nicely. I especially like the strings, they have a really nice cinematic feel and work very well here. Overall, it’s an enjoyable listen :) 

I really like the heroic chord progression and the way the track keeps a strong sense of momentum. The mood shift around 1:03 into something darker also works well. There are some interesting ideas throughout, and it’s an enjoyable listen overall :) 

I really like the melody and the arrangement, as well as how the track is structured. The intensity builds up nicely throughout, and I like the mood change around 1:24, with the tension that comes in after that :) 

There are some interesting ideas and a nice vibe in this track. The melody is catchy and sticks in your head easily. I also like the way the hammer is used, it gives the rhythm a fun, slightly repetitive feel that works really well. Overall, it’s really enjoyable :)

I really like the melody and the overall mysterious mood of the track. It has a haunting feel that works really well, and the atmosphere feels immersive. I enjoy the overall feel of the piece :)

I really like the melody, and the whole track feels beautiful. The overall feel is enchanting, and I like how the intensity and emotion gradually build as the track progresses. It has a very captivating feel to it :) 

This is a really interesting EP, you can clearly feel a story behind it. 'Stella Tome of Legend' is my favourite, great melody, atmosphere, and magical feel. 'Stella Tome of Heart' is beautiful and soft. 'Stella Tome of Enigma' and 'Stella Tome of Consciousness' both have a more mysterious feel, which I really liked as well. Overall, a very cohesive and enjoyable project :)

I wasn’t expecting this style for the jam at all, but it works well. I like the overall vibe, the floating textures in the background, and the vocals. It makes for an enjoyable listen :)

I wasn’t even aware music could be created like this through coding, it’s really interesting. I’m more used to working with chords and notation, so this feels very different, and it makes me curious to try this just for fun. There are some really fascinating and hypnotic elements in the track, and I find the overall sound beautiful and calming :) 

Thank you so much, that really means a lot :) I really appreciate your kind words, I’m glad the atmosphere worked for you!

I like the melody and the distorted elements in the background. They add a nice texture to the track. The extra layers feel thoughtfully placed, and everything comes together to create an engaging atmosphere :)

I really like this! The beginning is calm and mysterious with a strong ambient feel. The shift around 1:59 into something darker is really beautiful, and I love the high notes. They feel really cool and enchanting :)

I really like how immersive this track is. The intro does a great job of setting up the unsettling atmosphere before the melody comes in. The melody is cool, and I like the sense of tension that runs throughout the whole piece :)

I really like the rhythm of the melody and the overall vibe of the track. The warrior-like energy is really cool. I wasn’t expecting the change around 1:58, but it works really well and gives the piece a much more mysterious feel. There are a lot of interesting ideas throughout, and the track develops very naturally :)
