Nice variety here; great orchestration on Freedom and lovely piano on Longing For. And I'll never not appreciate a solid guitar track. Nice work overall!

Interesting how Youtube decided to make them shorts, honestly works great to show how seamlessly they loop haha
I like the orchestration on all of 'em, but my personal favorite's gotta be "Longing For" with how calm and reminiscent it is. Sounds like the the kind of song you'd get after a long journey, finally able to rest and look back on the bittersweet memories you made along the way. I'm a big fan of that kind of emotional vibe :)

Freedoms (OST)ough, i really love the writing you've done for your tracks! "The will to be free" is a nice change of pace already from the first track, which reminded me of something idyllic and pastoral in videogames... like in some of the 3D The Legend of Zelda titles?
i really liked the direction that "Freedom" was taking! i'd love to hear it evolve further and really increase in intensity to add to the triumphant feel that this track already has. orchestral work is always lovely to hear; amazingly done!

Red Circle CarnivalI liked the use of chimes for the freedom theme. Gives the energy that you are emerging from somewhere worse to somewhere better.

The AscentThis made for a fun listen! I adore the overall vibe of Looking For - it really reminds me of some retro titles from the 16bit era. Captures that laid-back feeling perfectly, and moves fluidly along without lingering too much on any particular melody. Choice of instrumentation here was fantastic - everything fits together so well and complements one another.
The Will to be Free is a departure from the expected, but still fits within my head-canon for a 16bit kind of game, be it an RPG or platformer. I love how snappy the guitar rhythm is in this; just the right amount of chkchk to the transients to give it a tight truncated sound.
Finally, Freedom is very befitting of it's title. Relying on orchestral instruments here as the forerunning sound is great. Sets the tone immediately and delivers on all of the supporting lines and harmonies. Great use of weaving melodies around one another here - not just call and response but pick-up/borrowed melodies too!
Solid submission as a whole. Great work.
