Wow! the nighttime track is really well done, the guitar sounds fantastic! you nailed the lo-fi vibe while still giving it your own color and adding in the (imo superior to traditional lo-fi) elements of ambient music! Well done!

Great vibe and yeah I guess summer nights can be like that. The dawn track is cute but felt kind of forgettable imo. I really liked how you constructed the ambience in the night track, good work!

The ambient insect noises in the second track were great for making the summer night atmosphere work.

This was a lovely submission - I think you captured a vibe that's fitting for the jam's theme. I'm happy to see more guitar music making its way into this jam.

My main piece of feedback, as others have pointed out, is that I would've liked to have had a little more overall development in the story behind the submission. Whether that be a bit of text or some kind of motif that you could call back to could have helped make these tracks mesh together a little more and contribute to one overarching idea, IMO.

Thanks for sharing what you made, and keep up the good work :)

Yeap, tbh yes, I spent prolly 90% of the time given making/recording 2 other guitar heavy tracks, but those are not cooked enough for me to submit, so I just submitted what I had somehow rdy. It looks kinda undercooked overall and not that much tied together as I wanted it to be, but ehh I tried to record "decent" guitar takes for a week and apperantly it wasnt enough time for me (once again). One day I'll be able to record "proper" 10-15-30s+ guitar takes in less than 20h total, oneday....

Great job setting the atmosphere. It would benefit from having more identifiable motivic ideas throughout, to help make the tracks more cohesive.

The night theme is beautiful and evocative. The guitar work there is a joy to listen to. It is the stronger of the two tracks by far.

The dawn theme, I'm not feeling as much, but at the same time it does give me a sense that there's more activity going on.

For an OST, what kind of purpose it serves is very open ended because well, there've been no story details except for that one twilight photo of traffic on the submission page. If I were to consider just that photo alone, both themes do fit that setting. Just that I'm not quite sure that's your intent, because nothing else was mentioned. (Assuming that is your intention, that it's all set in the backdrop of this city picture, it works.)

All the very best in the jam!

That guitar work in Night is so emotional and pretty sounding, awesome work. Both songs are great
