Description
The soundtrack was made to sound like a very typical fantasy RPG soundtrack. The biggest exception is the theme "Schlacht in der Luft" which has a more 8bit retro style. I use a MIDI keyboard to compose the Melodies in FL Studio. I mostly used Soundfonts

Message from the artist
This is my very first Musical work that I ever Published on the Internet. It's not the best but I think that it does have it's moments. I hope you Enjoy <3

Theme

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I tried to use the Instruments shown in the Picture, mostly Violin. I also used a lot of Choir since I feel like singing would be a big Part of Harpy culture.

This is a really nice submission!
I enjoyed all of the tracks, but my favourite has to be Die Schlacht in der Luft! :D
All of the melodies you wrote are especially something I liked :)

I wish you luck in the jam, and a nice weekend!!

Congrats on your first-ever submission, man! Your music is really solid; you know how to transition to different sections well, using risers and melodic build-ups. I'd say to try to experiment with different approaches to making a song. I noticed that you liked using a 3/4 waltz for two of the first songs, which is cool if you change how you approach that concept, but it might get repetitive for a submission if you go about it the same way. Playing with tempos and rhythms within that time signature really helps with that. Your mixing wasn't bad at all to me, so all I can do is just give tips I learned in audio engineering class: use buses. if you have a delay or reverb that you want to use for multiple things, use one track for just the reverb and route all your other tracks that you want to have reverb to that track. This helps a lot with making things sound more cohesive and is just an easier workflow compared to putting reverb and delay on each track individually. Also, cross-reference music you like and just try imitating how they pan and mix things. Lastly, use multiband compressors and EQs on your master track. There's one in FL Studio called Maximus that has presets I really like. Try playing around with these tips, and you might find that your music sounds more pleasing to your ears. Keep it up man!

The Harpy Town theme sounds so cool! So fun and magical. I love the build up around ~0:44 and how it all cuts out ~1:05.

it's an amazing interpretation from the picture theme! though, i hoped to see more in the story or thought-process in the music, but kudos to you submitting your first ever music craft on the internet! Am happy for you!!
