Main Menu: This is really beautiful. The violin is really well-produced - I love the slides up and down when there are big leaps. This track reminds me of one of the most beautiful video game village themes I think I’ve heard - Bringing Color to the Wind and Grassland from Monster Hunter X.
Welcome to the Band: This is such a creative idea! The call and response works really well and the interactive component makes this feel like a game in itself. The key changes were smooth and overall this was a really fun track!
Three Abreast: I was intrigued by this track because it strays from the predictable and gets into some unfamiliar territory for me. I think the playability was appropriate, though the expectation of where we were going was a little murkier on this one.
The Tavern: The tavern ambience is a really nice touch that sets the bard scene exceptionally well. The 5/4 time signature is a fun change. I especially like the flute and fiddle melody while the play-along is in the bass. Thank goodness I was not expected to play the upper part!
Wedding of the Forest Elves: Wow 7/4 is something different. And the phrygian sound is another really fun twist as well. I think it was creative to make this harmonic choice for the game setting, since this harmonic sound is often a cliche for desert music, it would be welcomed in a different setting!
The Dwarven Mining Town: Okay this is where my play-along skills drop off. I love the big industrial sound of this mining town. I just sat back and enjoyed this one and I think it is my favorite play-along theme (I think the main menu is my favorite overall).
Court of the Kanum: Wow I would absolutely love to see someone actually play this! I think the accompanying instruments were some of my favorites in this track. The strings and big hits were especially well-made in my opinion.
This is one of the most unique submissions I’ve heard in the jam because of the interactivity and exploration into different harmonic spaces and different time signatures. You took the graduated difficulty very seriously and I would be impressed with anyone who could keep up the whole way! I’m impressed that you were able to put all of this together in just a week. Great work on this overall and thank you for sharing your music!
