Lovely pieces of music you've put together here. I liked your choice of instruments especially, I think it works well for this jam's theme.
Just an FYI, it looks like you exported your tracks from a looped region and they both cut off completely at the end. I would've personally preferred hearing them fade out organically. Bit of a nitpick, but I felt it was worth mentioning for future music.
Thanks for sharing what you've got, and keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much!
You're 100% right, when exporting I forgot to check the "Include audio tail" box. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll keep it in mind for next time!
I love the panning in the background of the second piece! It sounds like waves at the beach
I love the first track! The chords at the end were such a nice finishing touch : )
Love both tracks. The little iPod Nano program is cool too.
prob the best entry ive seen so far
i can listen to this on a rainy afternoon and easily fall asleep, perfect for the theme! good job!
loved the second track!
Really nice, calming vibes here, some chords were also quite interesting, good job!
I really like the chill vibes here, both of the songs are doing a really good job at making me feel calm, nice work. 🔥
Also, respect for the making the song player in unity for the songs.
Wasnt expecting a full unity program just for the song, respect the work lol
anyways, my thoughts
Moment Under The Starry Sky - I really really really love the vibe of this, makes me feel like im in the sky lol, it all fits very well and doesnt get repetitive
Reef - love the feeling this gives, it feels like i have acomplished something big and now its time to rest. Its very chill, also not repetitive and i really love this one too
On an unrelated note i see you everywhere in the jam comment section, thank you for your time rating it all, good job on your songs
Thanks so much for listening!
It's been really fun listening to everyone's music so far, excited to keep going lol.
Very nice! Reef had some really nice harmonic moves. It like the Ab to Ab+ to Db move. Later on somewhere you used the minor 4 chord (Dbm), that is currently one of my favorite moves right now! My entry was RIFE with it!
Great production value! On a non-music note though, I also low-key now want to learn how to make wavy textures like that background in your music player that you did in Blender. Easily the best looking music player so far!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I agree the minor 4 is so goated, it pulls on those heartstrings so much.
For the wavy texture in the background I made a fog volume in Blender and keyframed the texture being rotated while the camera was in the middle, and that's it! it ended up being pretty simple even though I have very little experience in Blender:
The music player itself I custom made a little while ago so I was able to reuse that and add in the background video thankfully.

Thanks again for having a listen :D
Thanks for going through the time to explain this for me! I'm definitely going to have to experiment in Blender when I get the time. I keep wanting to do something dynamic like this for my landing page on my website. i bet I could do something in Blender like this!
its like... its some sort of calm background... i love this so much
Thanks for Listening!
