Description
It's mostly orchestral and ambient with a few synths but the two "jaunty" tracks are more of their own thing. I made all tracks using FL Studio over the course of roughly 4 days

I see we have ourselves a rhythm player on our hands!

Your compositions have a heavy focus on rhythm and I think those are very strong points in every track, even the more ambient ones like "Where you don't go". I also really enjoyed the kind of ps2 soundtrack vibes that each track gave off, I can very easily see these being in a classic game. 

On to the constructive criticism! The most standout points to me were the melodic writing and idea security. More often than not I felt that when it came to the melodies in each track, they were more of an afterthought rather than a focal point. No particular melody really stood out to me as the main idea, and usually when I started feeling like I was getting a grasp of it, the track would move on and introduce more material abandoning the melodic material introduced. Pretty consistently I also found the tracks moving on from ideas more than they developed them. Youre very well versed in creating a texture, so I'd love to see more of a development of those textures and melodic ideas more than moving on to completely new material. 

Overall, great work! Your ability to put out tracks in such a short amount of time is something I aspire to, you put out more than double what I did 😂

I liked jaunty town a lot but then Jaunty attack happened and that was really good!

The warbly instrument gave it an odd vibe that I wished you explained in some kind of description.

I like that the trackes evolved within themselves rather than staying stagnant the whole time too.

Facing the forgotten was also a bop. I get the vibe that the entire OST has something to do with supernatural spirits probably.

This is such a nice soundtrack!!
Honestly, it's one my favourites from what I've heard so far :D
The melodies and instrument choices are great! I love the way you use panning in the tracks

You are a very good musician; I wish you luck in the jam, and in your musicmaking journey as well :)

Great work! I really like how you explored different instruments and sounds in each track. My favorite tracks are "Opening" and Where You Don't Go." If there's one feedback I'd give is that the mix feels a little muddy
