Amazing variety between all three of your submissions. The change in the vibes, instruments, and style really distinguished between the different levels of the story and made for a satisfying end with (my favorite) Take Me Back. Going out of your comfort zone definitely paid off ^^

This was a really great soundtrack! The record scratching in I'm Free! was really good, and followed by the melodies in Rebel, that was really nice. The sombre tone in Take Me Back is really nice too, and really conveys that apologetic feel.

Absolutely loving the scratching in I'm Free! Something that hasn't really shown up too much in this jam. Solid drums in this, good use of bass staying in the pocket and also venturing out every now and again to provide some flair with the bends and slides. The gradual layering of other elements with the piano is well done also, keeping it from tiring out.

Rebel is really fun to listen to. Nice departure from the vibes of the last track. Guitar here does its job of holding down the rhythm and letting the drums do what they need to in order to give the track a pulse. The strings, as others have mentioned, really sell the theme here. Really nice articulations and complementary playing to the softer piano melodies. This track has a kind of no-care-in-the-world vibe, which really does lean into the theme even more.

Take Me Back steps in a bit of a different direction. Very strong orchestration here - layered beautifully and with just enough motion. Evocative is the key word for them in this, in my opinion. This piece is more sombre than the other two, unsurprisingly, but not depressingly so. A kind of quiet sadness with some hope as the track begins to round out.

These are all great, and very diverse. Kudos for keeping each track so distinct and unique. Production across all three is really solid, and they're mixed well to boot. Great job!

one thing i really enjoyed about your submission was how you leveraged orchestral instrumentation in "Rebel" and "Take Me Back" — the strings in "Rebel" really carry that theme of freedom and exploration that you might expect from strings in typical soundtracks, and "Take Me Back" with the starting downward melody on the cello fits so well for the scenario you envisioned. i like the melodic content of the strings in "Take Me Back" also! ^o^

overall, a lovely job creating this soundtrack! you had a diverse selection of scenarios and moods that you wanted to craft, so i wasn't really put off by the variety in genre. i think the piano in "I'm Free!" helps attach it, if anything!

Awesome stuff I like the musical ideas you have, they just seem to feel very disconnected to each other throughout all your tracks. overtime I start to lose the sense of how each idea relates to another. other than that these were fun to listen to

Nice work! I particularly enjoyed the last two tracks! Really beautiful writing, really beautiful vibes!

I was like: "There's scratching? 5 Stars!" And then you bring on THE JAM! It feels soooooo cool, you NAILED the careless, free and rebellious nature of a teen lol. It's like I can hear her say "Fk the world" while walking head low listening to some 90's NuMetal on her walkman. "Rebel" I can literally see in front of me like slice of life pictures of her experiencing things. The only thing missing maybe from the description would be more the danger part, but it's a nitpick. "Take Me Back" is really beautiful and reflective. There's a longing to it almost, it's really amazing work! And the last part could be like her being at the front door and opening the door. 

That's it I guess, your tracks really put vivid images on my brain and I think that's the big thing for me. Amazing job!

Also I stumbled automatically on Giratina after the OST... BRO xDDD

Also don't recall hearing your OST 7 submission, "How I Miss You" .... GOD that was beautiful, you're so talented I'm envious lol

I think you did a great job making your tracks tell the story you wanted them to. Take Me Back was especially nice. I would consider letting the drums go crazier in the final parts of Rebel--open hats, more fills, etc. Could make it even more energetic. Nice work!

Really appreciate the tonal range here, each track has a great vibe that they nail.

I'm Free had me bopping my head immediately lol, love the groove! Reminded me a lot of stuff in Jet Set Radio and Zenless Zone Zero, just gotta throw a sax solo in there and it'll fit right on one of those playlists. 

Rebel had a great lead guitar melody, and the chords on those strings in Take Me Back were chef's kiss. I do feel like both instruments could have used a touch of volume automation just to make them feel more human, but that's really minor stuff. Overall great work! :)

I really loved the tracks on this one, Amazing work

"what you what you what zuzuza you..."

 I'm Free! - GOD! This is a great “sing-along” chant from the vinyl..... Cool! (what you what you what you what zuzuza you)

Rebel - Guitars! Now the guitars are singing! (and I also think there are crows cawing in the noise in the background, heh). There's also a violin! Cool!

Take Me Back - Nice way to end the tracklisting! Sad melody... (How do you make such “complete” mixes? HOW?)

P.S. I also think you made your cover art out of 4 different nature photos and.... one bird :>

P.S.S. what you what you what you what zuzuza you

P.S.S.S. Rawr!

Great tracks, very complementary to each other ! The way each of them matches the story elements you provide is well thought and well led. It would be an awesome OST !

Great variety, especially loved the latter two pieces! The story was very nicely conveyed through the different tracks.

The second one is also my favourite ahah, it really captures this youth rebel tone you were looking for, very catchy.
I'm a bit less convinced by the first one even if I enjoy the funky groove aspect of it, but the loops are a bit repetitive (the scratch mostly maybe). The third one is very different, I love the melody though but maybe a bit too different. It's cool that you took some risks and that you explored unusual genres :) well done !

Purple DAW gang! 

I'd probably have swapped the titles of 1 and 2, so it's interesting you kept it this way. 

The first tune is soo groovy and the second just filled me with pure joy! While the third paired with the story grounded me and made it feel relateable. 

This is a really lovely submission, great job!

nearly started floating out of my chair listening to that third song!
I think this OST would work amazingly in the game described

First one I'm rating and it's already an impressive combination of genres with high production quality. I especially liked the second track.

I thought the first 2 tracks fit very cohesively together! Maybe the 3rd one was a little too different but not that big a deal.

I'm Free felt very much like a menu song and Rebel felt very much like a stage theme. Excellently done!

Take Me Back felt much more generic compared to the other 2 so it was the weakest one to me but it wasn't bad.

This one sounds the most as it could have been put in a real game, the tracks all contrast and varied which is nice.
