I may come back to this at some point for further development and try some delay for sure! Thanks for giving them a listen! 

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Glad you liked it!

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it!

Thanks a lot! Glad I could transmit this picture. My intention was to also modify my voice for different takes to also sound like different persons, but did not have the time to learn how to do it lol Happy to hear it already works as it is!

Thank you so much! Yeah, it turned out quite dark! In fact my main inspiration was "The Frozen Heart (Ice Worker's Song)" from Frozen, haha, and my intention was going for something energetic and positive, but I guess my inner demons wanted for it to be more gloomy, and when I started thinking how hard a miner's life must be, the brief story in the song also became one of hardship, sacrifice and even obsession.  

Thank you! Big praise here. Glad you liked it!

Thank you so much! So glad I could convey that feeling.

hehehe, thank you! Nah, this is just less polite. xD

Thank you so much! <3

You just had my full attention with that trumpet. And then there was SO MUCH MORE coming. Epic track. Melodically is just genius. The sax entrance at 0:56 is just incredible. Had so much fun listening to this.   

Top notch quality. Really good work on the mix. Overall a very enjoyable track putting the listener in a positive mood with a sense of adventurous anticipation. Not sure if it fits much with the theme, but who cares. Great job.

Amazing stuff. Wondering what products are they creating in that factory, which I am sure sits in the border between this world and hell. Brutal, big sound design. Those deep bass thunderous attacks were gorgeous, and I am loving the storytelling sense in this. The ending with the restarting of the machine is simply brilliant. Fantastic job!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed them!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Trills! Loving the sound design here, with so much love put in creating a diversity of tones and articulations. Bad-ass midsection and everything feeling very grounded with that crazy time signature. Cool job, as always!

Loving the dark undertones, but also uplifting nature of the track. The guitar sounds very crispy and the fast synth runs are fantastic. Overall great sound palette working great together, everything very cohesive. I enjoyed it very much.

Thank you so much! Except for the bassline, which was a bit more improvised, most of it was scored, but in the spirit of the theme I started with a random "midi splattering" of ch1.

Loving the ascending tension broken at the end, and feeling this really suits what you aimed for in a Pokemon encounter setting! Also always great to find another LMMS FreeBoy user. Your work inspired me to go for it with a chiptune boss tune in the next jam. <3

Thanks a lot!

Thanks!

This hits really hard. Digging so much the sax and voice interplay. Very cool work. One of my favs from this jam. Dramatic and intense with awesome sound design and everything adding up to the mood.

Loving this. Ethereal romantic vibes. I dig the denser middle section with the winds and strings.

Some great ideas here and nice arrangement, I digged the sound palette and the build up. The piece really shines when the flutes come in. Great layering there at the end with strings, mallets and horns. Good job!

Thanks a lot!

thank you! Yes, totally agree those string attacks were too harsh. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

indeed, a whistle it was then! hehehe, thx for sharing, great stuff!

Digging the slightly out of tune piano. Great usage of the stereo field. Everything feels alive and moving around me. So full of ideas. The transition with string attacks and piano to the end is really powerful. It made me think about nature, humans and our interrelationship. Thank you for putting me in a transcendental mood for an instant.

Sweet piece. Loving the ballad structure with a folkloric vibe. Perfectly fitting for the theme.

Spectacular. So uplifting, so romantic! Loving the textures with the snare marching and theremin (?) touches, and the string arrangement. Top notch quality and perfectly fitting for the theme at hand.

So many cool things here. The chord changes from the 0:50 minute mark were cool as hell. You managed to keep it cohesive with such a range of timbres! Also appreciating the live playing of guitar. The interplay between the big band brassy base and the distorted guitars melodic is so unique. Many seriously cool melodic motive moments, such as the transitions at 0:13 and 1:14. Tremendous work. Zappa would be proud. 5 stars in creativity from me.

So charming! Fantastic 8-bit take of a classic romantic tune. <3

Nailing the theme, totally feeling the romantic love vibes here. I like the slow build up and the usage of energetic strings to give it more grandeur without losing its whimsical base. Great work!

Banger. Loving the storytelling here. My fav from yours till now, maybe because of the taming of the tensions, this one feeling fairly intuitively tonal all the way while keeping the spice. Also the mix feels solid and the part from the one minute mark, distorted synth and piano blend very well volume and space-wise. Making me want go and relisten to Selling England By The Pound, which I will just do right now.

Great string and choir dissonance/consonance play. They feel like a solid unit moving along the track filling the dramatic general space and void in the piece. I really liked your usage of silences to achieve this. My only critique would be that the sustained choir feels intense but a bit piercing, because of its shrill timbre, maybe some eq/reverb to tame it a bit or make it morph at the end would improve the listening experience. You nailed the theme and I appreciate the touch of the bells tolling for the dead and the sense of storytelling. 

Thanks a lot!

Very cool! Let's go with my impressions:

1. Where Did I Go

SHAKER!!! Forest vibes all over, lively, loving the kind of woodpecker at the background. The percussion is fantastic, and loved the tastefulness of everything and the distribution of everything in the mix, with the motive central, with the piano on the side. The last syncopated chord works great to spice it up.

2. Sitting in Between

I had to check if I was listening to the same song in repeat. I think the motive sounds too similar to the first track, with no variation in timbre, tone or rhythm. This is detrimental to the listening experience, as it inevitably feels like a repetition or modified version of the first piece. I am digging the alterations in the soundscape backing the melody, but would have loved for the melody to also morph into something different (or maybe disappear altogether and make a comeback at the end of the track).

3. Emergency

Same issue with the repetition of the motive. Badass drop and transition at 0:40. That panned, overdrive line is killer. Loving when finally the Dies Irae finally starts to blend with the rest of the song and loses its protagonism.

4. The Worm

And here we are freed from the chains of the motive, for once and for all! Loving the flanger and wah. For me this is the track that hits harder.

5. On my way

Awesome textures, taking me to this earthy, raspy, dirty soily ground. The drums programming here is top notch. Hypnotic percussion with great sound design. Also the general layering is very good. The only thing which kind of bugged me was the timbre of the lead, getting a bit shrill with the repetition of the melodic pattern.

Great work! I am loving the concept, and kudos for the artist who created the cover! Beautiful and powerful, transmitting this mood of earth and wood and wetness and dark soil, fitting very well with the textures of the soundtrack and the video game idea. I loved many things in your pieces, and I sometimes just wished for the Dies Irae to be less central and make room for other original melodic ideas, but of course the idea of the jam was to use the motive, so nothing to say in this regard! I might just be starting to feel tired of listening to it in so many pieces, including mine...

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! So glad you felt some of the vibes I was trying to transmit. Didn't know about Monkey Ball, i'll check it out! Arcade ninja turtles for the win. <3
