This was probably one of my favourite submissions (I've listened to), I really liked the overall orchestration and melodies! The only thing I'd say held it back is the mixing, especially the flutes sound rather harsh at times. But don't let that get you down, mixing this type of music well is pretty damn hard :-)

Good job and keep it up!

Loved the way you used the instruments from the theme image, you definitely pulled off the atmosphere you were going for really well! I especially enjoyed the flow of the soundtrack from Unanswered into Feydance, the way you brought down the energy and emotions, before breaking out into that ending was inspired! Great job, and thanks so much for sharing!

A Druid’s Journal: I really enjoyed the harmonic imagery that you set up in this piece. It feels mystical, mysterious, old, and somewhat inviting, as if the song is being played around a campfire or at a tavern late at night.

Hill Call: Your melody in this piece is a highlight for me. It is strongly Dorian which is such a pleasant mode to use in my opinion. I especially love the emotional turn at 2:18 as well. The meter change felt smooth, and I think it would have been cool to use that as a sort of transition into the following piece.

Ode to the Wood: This track feels quite Celtic inspired and maybe to my ears feels like you especially succeeded in authenticity to your story world. I think the interplay between the fiddle and pipes is particularly well done.

Unanswered: I think the emotional execution of conveying a sense of waiting and disappointment is spot on in this track. It feels dark with small glimmers of hope, only to turn around to another dark chord again.

Feydance: The dancing melody is really fun and also fits very naturally into the world you have created. I wonder what it might sound like with the tempo bumped up a little bit. I wonder if that would add to the celebratory nature and the finality of the last track of the OST. Overall, I think the writing is really good and love the harmonic drive and shifts.

The simplicity of the instrumentation played to your advantage to create a sense of antiquity and mysticism throughout the soundtrack. I appreciated your non-reliance on percussion instruments which added only where necessary and helped keep the simplicity. Great job overall on this and thank you for sharing your music!

Nice rustic submission. Liked how peaceful everything was.

Nice compositions! I initially also tried for celtic folk music, but no ideas were really sticking so I had to pivot. That's why I'm glad to see submissions like these that managed to make it work. The tracks do a great job of painting the world you described. I had a great time listening to this, thanks for sharing!

I really liked that rustic soundscape you created.

However, I feel like the whole OST sounded a bit artificial. The instruments sounded a bit harsh and too dry, and a bit of reverb (on the whole track) would have been great to soften those sounds, and make them blend together in the environment better. Also, I would have loved more drums. Nothing too crazy but some variations, eventually some notes in the higher octave to make it more interesting would have been great.

Lastly, my favorite track was Feydance. I really liked the use of those many instruments layered together. It created a lot of depth in the melodies, and I just loved it.

Very great job !

PS: I just saw that you're a fellow musio user like me :D

A Druid’s Journal: this is simple, stately, and does a great job of establishing the world we are in. Feels like I’m watching an opening cutscene…

Hill Call: loving the amount of Dorian we’re getting with this jam! It’s a good thing it’s my second-favorite mode, or I’d be getting sick of it. But hey, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it right? You smartly move in and out of other modes to complement it and prevent redundancy. One thing I’m noticing is that the cello/viol(?) rearticulates a lot on longer legato notes. I might suggest finding a way to revise this, if possible?

Ode to the Wood: I love the bright, open strings a lot!

Unanswered: you’ve got a knack for writing lovely melodies, and it shows. I also appreciate how sparse the soundtrack is: I think it really adds to the atmosphere you are creating. Less really is more sometimes!

Fey Dance: it’s time, once again, to shake some ass in the tavern. There have been several shaking-ass-in-the-tavern tracks in this jam, and I think this one is up there. I do find the tempo changes to be slightly jarring—what is the purpose of them? Does it have something to do with this moment in the story?

Overall, great work here.  I can picture this game clearly in my mind—wish I could play it! Great work, and keep writing!
