Description
A gentle contrast between two parts of the track, from a lullaby to a more orchestral-ish part
DAW: Garageband
Message from the artist
As a complete amateur, this is my first time joining a composing jam, just trying to have fun and challenge myself, even I only had time to make a single track
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The change of theme symbolise the breaking away from pure dreams and imagination, then taking actual actions and discovering wider purpose

Singing birds! The wonderful flutes!
...and, of course, a magical orchestra.
P.S. Rawr!
Really good job with this! congrats on your first jam, this is really solid!! for a "complete amateur" like you said, the quality and composition is incredibly impressive, I loved the plucks that come in the second part along with the staccato strings are really nice. I can totally see this being a nice background song to a chill part of a game. awesome job :)
Rly liked 2nd part, even tho the piece lacks some mixing and room inmyopinion, is still super nice.
Appreciate for the advice! I definitely need to spend more time on learning and improving the mixing aspect :)
i love how well-composed and arranged this track is!! i know you said you are a "complete amateur", but you have a good grasp on musical ideas and iterating on them. :3c
my favorite part in this track starts at 0:53 — the new instrument and melody that begins appearing really adds to that dreamy vibe that i think matches the title of your track. well done!! hope to see more of your stuff in the near future~
If you didn't say that you were a complete amateur I never would have thought that from this. All the instruments sound great together and you have a great handle on exploring a musical idea without having it sound jarring or disconnected. The way it swells up towards the end of the track is genuinely really good and I really like the use of that low passed pluck in the background. Not really much else to say other than I'd like more haha, Great work! :)
I would totally like to hear this music during a gameplay session, I can feel the freedom feeling. Very wholesome and enjoyable to listen ! Good job :) It reminds me a bit of the first Rayman game vibe.
Nice track, very ambient honestly - more the kind where its on in the background where youd be doing stuff in a game
Awesome work for your first jam!
Really like how playful it is, made it for a very enjoyable listen. Also, the way that the orchestra comes together really accentuates the feeling of freedom.
Great job!
Congrats on your first jam! Super solid work to kick off with, honestly. Nice choice of instruments and voicings, great progression and the mixing is pretty good across the board. I love the middle section in particular - it's rather playful and the way it emerges out from the orchestration is really nice. Swapping over to synths to take the lead here was a clever idea.
Speaking of, those orchestral elements are all layered together rather nicely. Very nice melodies and harmonies at play throughout, too. Great job!
Thx for the detailed comment! Glad you liked the transition part
Congrats on your first jam!
I loved when the pace of the song sped up halfway through. Made it more engaging and I liked the rhythmic instrument you used. It sounded kinda like a really modified piano with an echo IDK how to describe it.
Oh man,I really like that! Very light, playful, so nice.
Immediately as soon as I played the song it was really grand. It really does have that dreamlike aspect to it, I also really like how the synth grows from being subtle to being more prominent, and the strings section is actually really really good. Actually the whole bit of the orchestral part was great. For a first time submission this is a very solid track. Very well done.
P.S. Congrats on being able to submit 22 seconds before the deadline hehe
Thx for the comment, yeah clearly you can see I wasn't familiar with the submission process and stuff😅 Forturnately my work didn't go down the drain
I like the transition just before the minute mark. The wind melody and horn harmony in the second section is quite lovely.
