Description
This composition was written for an audio game jam with the theme "Secret Lake." The piece uses contrasting Lydian and Locrian modes to explore two possible interpretations , one as a sacred space, and the other more mysterious and other worldly.

Cool vibe! I tried to do some Lydian/Locrian back and forth in mine too but ultimately couldn't find it. Looks like you did though and sounds great!

This is quite nice actually, I would've preferred though a bit more slides before hitting the main target notes with the violin as they would sound more natural/fitting with the piece. It seems like there are some points where tension was escalated. I wish you could exaggerate those moments a bit more with the dynamics / velocity as it felt like it was going somewhere but didn't really reach anywhere.

Beautiful composition, sweet arrangements following the orchestral template, I like the modes used to explain the contrasts of emotions. its a little quiet you can probably bump everything in volume to get a very nice feeling so we can hear really all the subtleties. Good job !

Loved it. Definitely worked as an ambient, atmospheric track - and the introduction of the Locrian mode around 1'47'' worked really well for me - definitely added a contrasting dark flavour to the much brighter first half of the pice.

Pretty interesting little tune with Flutes.. Also pretty simplistic. Sounds good for an Ambient Soundtrack!

Beautiful composition! I loved the way the piano paired with the violin and strings.
