The idea of having multiple tracks to show the ideas before they all get together is interesting and nice, but it make some track feels a bit underwhelming. The 1st and 2nd could be put together and have a break in between and the 3rd and 4th could also be fuse together, especially since the 3rd is supposed to be the intro of the 4th. 

Other than that the songs are well made and they are nice to listen to. The instruments are well chosen and sounds nice together. Each tracks build up well and goes somewhere in a clear way which make listening to they nice and understand the overall idea well

It’s really satisfying that each track feels like part of a story.

Hearing the first track, it felt silly at first (but serve for the tracks to follow)

The second track was fun, i really feel like i was listening to a background music (I feel like it’s the point here).

The third track … it’s a redo of the first track which sole purpose seems to be a setup for the fourth one which is as long/longer than all the previous tracks combined.

The fourth track was the best to me, I had 3 tracks to elevate my enjoyment of this one. The contrast between the first and the last is quite something to me. I like how busy it was.

Nice! Simple but very enjoyable. Love how bouncy it is.

The first part not much to say but good to have the reference material for what follows; I did appreciate the soundfont though, had the right kind of bounce to it.

The second part was cool, I wanted to love it but I did feel it was quite repetitive vamping over the same chord pretty much. I wanted it to reharmonise (which I was rewarded with later). But a cool sound nonetheless.


Part 3 was my least favourite. Not bad, I just didn't love it. The ending was a bit jarring, though I realise it really is supposed to flow seamlessly into part 4 (I would have stitched them as one complete track for the stream).


Part 4 despite sounding like your least favourite was actually the best part for me. A culmination of all the ideas you had played with this far and a fun listen. My head was boppin 😄 And I really liked the variation in voicing and reharm (I think it was anyway? It sounded great in any case).

Solid effort. I also went with Bach for my submission, taking more of an "inspired by approach" than a strict rearrangement. I love how Bach sounds in different styles, truly one of the masters that I aim to learn from 🙂
