Here's a quote from the scope on jam page my dude,

"The core requirement of this jam is to produce ambient music to the provided theme. The intention of this jam is to focus on mix quality, texture, and vibe because ambient music is generally compositionally simpler." 

I think your composition is to violent and driving to be considered ambient, which was the core requirement, and the vibe doesn't match my interpretation of the painting. So I gotta rate this pretty low despite it sounding cool af. Keep at it!

this is the last thing I expected to hear but it was a good break from listening to the more ambient tracks of others. I dug it! The panning a few moments was a bit much for me personally, but most of the time I was enjoying the song. 

Ambient is a pretty loosely defined and wide genre, but I don’t think it’s this wide ;). Cool track but not quite the right jam for it, hoping I see more of your stuff in the next OST jam though!

Not gonna lie, that caught me off guard XD, first 40 secs was looking well for the ambiance and then straight metal, I guess that's a hell of a secret lake, I don't know what to tell much more.

First, it sounded Ambient, but then the Electric Guitar & Drum Set started playing... Definitely not Ambient. It's more of an Industrial Rock than Ambient. It is a relatively good Track, but at the same time I'm not used to hearing a lot of Rock. At least you tried to make a song!

This is so far off from the themes and such of the jam that it's quite unfortunate because musically it's not bad. The mixing and syncopation is a bit rough.

It's unfortunate, this is a good track but it's wildly far from the themes and vibe of the jam.

i dont see why it doesnt apply for the theme, its just metal and i think is cool to add diversity to the genres of the jam (even tho this is not entirenly ambient music) and how you can see the theme in a track

the  rough mixing is kinda part of the genre but im always trying to improve so thanks

I dig this! I'm feeling more of a boss fight theme from this.

Btw in your YT video description you say this was made for Ost Composing Jam #9.

Hey there! Very cool metal piece you have here! It is groovy. It hits pretty hard too. Although not ambient per say, it is still good and has that sort of vibe. Good work either way. I envision like a battle between monsters in the swamp haha.

thanks!
