I like the pitch bending organ thing. I also like the evolution of the track, how it changes tempo and mood. It sounds quiet though, I don't know how to say it.

Love the synthesizers here. They add a certain craziness to the overall composition.....

Rarw!

I absolutely love the sliding synth chords, such a weird but cool vibe! I think some velocity changes in the piano would be great, especially when the piano plays the same note in fast succession. It'll make it seem more human. Nice work!

i can really feel the freeform elements of the jazz genre, especially in the beginning — the way section B at 0:33 iterates on the introduction with a change in tempo helps with that a lot! the piano starting of section C at 1:07 was a fascinating surprise! :3c

i think overall i was fascinated with the synthetic-sounding lead predominantly present in sections A and B, and how the arrangement evolves as it moves into major from the first impression that lead instrument had given. well-crafted!

This certainly goes against conventions at times. That intro is laden with all kinds of emotions, each representative of the instruments and their voicings, all weaving around one another. Hearing a proper brass section is a delight as I feel as though it has been under-represented in this jam somewhat. Piano work is super solid too, playing right in the pocket. I could extend this to the keys in general as the synth lines are fantastic and there are some fine examples of articulation at play here.

The gradual modulation from minor to major is what really sells this piece as a whole - such a great take on the theme and executed so well. The thought of even trying to do that kind of thing myself has my mind boggled, but you've killed it. Instrumentation was fantastic, melodies memorable and production across the board is great. Awesome job!

I like the Jazz approach, it's original and the whole track has a lot of evolution, quite entertaining :)

This one felt very earthbound inspired, Really good.

also liked how you used minor to represent a lack of freedom.

I really loved all the classical elements you put in this! the sax and piano were pretty neat especially. other than that very interesting funky song. Good work! :)

It feels like there's a whole lot of ideas here and a lot of them are pretty interesting and catchy, like my favorite part is from around 0:50 -1:05 where it feels like there is a very strong musical idea. It's just that there are a lot of musical ideas that I (((personally))) feel could be further fleshed out into their own songs which might help it each one stand out with their own identity a bit more. It is very jazzy and jazz does tend to cycle through musical ideas very quickly though so I totally get the intention. Good work overall!

Good interpretation of the theme, funny jazzy song, at the start I think the saxes fight for the spotlight. When the theme vlbecomes lighter all the sounds fits better their part.

Really cool.
I like the jazz fusion approach, don't see it in soundtracks too often, so props for that!

Great work! Cool vibes, love the chord choices! I think that some of the elements could work together a little more harmoniously, even if dissonance is the goal!

Bravo!

Very interesting colors and mood, the mix beetween chill sound and distortion is unique. It does gives a real sense of musical freedom !

It sometimes is a little to busy for my taste, but nonetheless the track is a great proposition

Well done !

Super chaotic and wild! the mix between dissonant parts and harmonious parts takes the listener on a wild ride which is cool!

It's a style I don't think I can fully appreciate but I respect the effort it must have taken!

Good job!
