At the beginning, there was a really nice kind of dark ambience. Those background foleys were really interesting to listen to. And there was a cool contrast with the pretty ominous synth that played a rather bright melody.

And... during the middle, I could literally see the door open before me. It was a wonderful track, and I would have loved to listen to more. Amazing job.

Main Theme

That violin is just gorgeous. I loved the background voices as well. Really added impact. Gorgeous transitions as well. And the woodwinds were a treat for my ears. I love them.

Ground Level

Really liked the theme variant. The two tracks felt very connected.

And that piano near the middle... it was just divine. It felt so powerful. I almost had goosebumps during this part.

It was a real pleasure to listen to your OST, absolutely beautiful soundtrack. I would have loved so much to be able to listen to more !

That was your first time making music ? Oh my... that was pretty good !

I really liked "Village", the melodies really fitted well. My only concern would be that the drums are going waaay too fast for the melodies. I would also suggest to switch the instrument playing the main melody once or twice to make the track more interesting.

Otherwise it was a really great work.

Awesome OST. The groove/funkiness was omnipresent (almost), and I love it. My two favorite tracks were Magic in Blue and Backstage. I really loved Magic in Blue because it was a very catchy track. I absolutely loved how you added that "woah" guitar that made that very cliché melody your own. I also loved the groove of Backstage. That clave was so funky !

Overall, the tracks felt very connected which made following the story through the music a lot funnier.

Very great work, I will definitely take a look at your other works. Thank you very much for sharing.

I am just... speechless. Your soundtrack is just a masterpiece. I am blown-up !

The background textures are so beautiful, those flutes are gorgeous and those drums... they have so much impact, so much energy and so much power.

This was just an absolute DELIGHT for my ears. Thank you very much for this present, sir. I will enjoy replaying it, and now I must take a look to your other works as well.

Thank you so much for the kind words ! I'm so glad you enjoyed our submission.

Very great submission ! I really loved the connection between your tracks. A Kingdom Made Of Clouds set up really well the different themes/vibes you were gonna use. The strings really created a flying/sky feel. In Air Kingdom Waltz, the airy/light feel from the main melody being played by a woodwind, the harmony sounding jumpy, and the lack of drums to make it less grounded was a great idea. Lullaby in the Cradle of Clouds was a lovely track. I loved the cozy side provided by the guitar, and the chords again to connect it with the other tracks. A Shop In The Sky fitted really well a shop. And again that succession of major chords to connect it with the other tracks.

Amazing work.

Very interesting soundtrack. The different sounds you use are so creative and make your submission stand out a lot. My favorite tracks are either Naiad's Dance that I really liked for that more upbeat/fun song, and Surfing the Chromosphere, for that really cool groove and a bit arcade feel with the square lead. Loved the sort of xylophones in the background. Back To Blue had some crazy drums/basslines, the sound design was just gorgeous. I loved the textures at the beginning and end of Our Last Dance.

Very great work !

Very cool vibe. I also loved the ambience. The percussion side was making the tracks very interesting despite them being a bit ambient, so kudos for that !

Great work.

Awesome soundtrack ! The groove was so cool, and I really loved those hip-hop samples you used, was ear candy at that point.

Amazing work.

The town theme had an interesting mix of a cozy vibe and a more ominous ambience/harmony. I would have liked some drums (a timpani maybe ?) in "Harpy of the Herd - Cord's Theme" to give it some more impact. Lastly, the reverse notes in "The World Remembers" created a cool dark atmosphere. 

The mix of reverb and old jazz sounds created a very interesting (and sometimes kind of ominous) vibe. I enjoyed the more ambient tracks as well, but I'll join some other comments to say that there was a bit too much length. 

Very nice OST ! I really liked Abel's theme and Sir Billsworth the IV's Theme. Both tracks were lovely.

Though, it was easy to hear the artificial side of the instruments you used. The snare rolls could sound a bit less artificial if you were alternating between high and lower volumes hits. More volume automation would have made this OST so expressive as well.

Nonetheless, it was a very fun listen. Great work !

Very cool soundtrack ! Very catchy, and the background textures you used really created a cool atmosphere. My favorite track was "poor customer service" because I liked the dancy feel coupled with the ominous ambience. It was very interesting to listen to it.

Great work !

The Forgotten World

Cool lively track, very interesting melodies and counter melodies. I loved the different sections. 

Our Peaceful Home

Lovely track. Once again, very great work on the melodies and the counter melodies. 

Celestial Connection

Interesting delay effect ! It was very catchy but had a mysterious feel.

Cozy Town

Very cozy track but with a cool rhythm and energy.

The Ancient Token

The end makes me want to listen to more

Overall, very great soundtrack ! I really liked the work on the melodical side, with the many lively melodies and counter melodies you had, each organised in different sections that kept the track very engaging. Great work !

It was a delight to listen to it. I loved the beginning of "Beginning of an adventure", very gracious, and progressively led to a more fun part which I loved as well. I absolutely loved the layering fiddle/flute with melodies that aren't exactly the same but still match quite well, and I loved the strings/brasses harmony.

Well, I loved everything. Amazing work !

Wonderful OST. It was a delight to listen to it. The composition was gorgeous: each section was interesting and led perfectly to the next one. I especially appreciated Skylark, Guardian of the Oasis in the Sky Mountains for its numerous change of moods. The only things I felt unsatisfied with were the drums: it would have been amazing if they had a bit more impact. They felt a bit thin and could have been really huge, like with a timpani or another war drum.

But once again, your soundtrack was an amazing submission. I had a lot of fun following your story.

Amazing work.

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

Pretty cool OST ! Maybe the Main Theme could have used more instruments that'd alternate for the main melody ? It felt a little bit repetitive. Otherwise, my favorite track was Devising a Stratagem; I really liked the chill/mysterious vibe. Once again, great job !

Cool ambience, the radio effect on the track was really interesting and I like the use of reverse notes.

Though, it felt a bit repetitive. Whether it's the melody played by the main synth, the strings or the background synth playing arps, it was repeated a bit too many times. More variations or longer themes would be great, but you could also use some macros on your main synth to make them change over time. Or use a completely new synth as well. I also felt like the bass line was a bit too simplistic, and there were a bit too much highs.

Lastly, I felt like the main synth were a bit too dry. They could use a bit more reverb, eventually have their volume a little bit lower as well. 

Nonetheless, congrats for finishing the jam !

Thank you so much for listening !

And for the tin whistle, the VST that I used is Tin Whistle by Ventus Winds. I really like it because there are so many articulations and ornaments you can use. I personally only used 3 (the cut, the bend up, and the bend down) but there are many more.

Great soundtrack ! I really liked the background textures in the first three tracks. It really created a cool ambience, that was both ominous, mysterious and nostalgic. It was a great journey, and the ending in "The Witch" really depicted perfectly what you had written. My favorite track was "the forbidden lands" because I really liked the vibe.

Great submission ! I really liked Unfriendly Human for its sick bass and really cool drums.

My only concern would be that across the ost, the woodwinds were almost always playing continuously. I personally couldn't stop noticing it and I felt bad for that flute player who had to play without breathing for 50 seconds straight in Town Square.

Nonetheless, it was a lovely OST. I really liked that old JRPG feel.

Overall I really liked that atmosphere you achieved through the different voice/string/synth textures. It was a very interesting blend of ambient/experimental electronic music with more orchestral parts. The only negative feedbacks I have would be: The March Towards had very cool basses, but I kinda lacked some melodic lead or sounds with higher frequencies to have a little break from the basses. The voice in The Blue Beauty On That Day sounded a bit weird to me, and too close. I feel like its volume was a bit too high, and that low pass filter made the voice sound too dry/muffled, which made the voice sound detached from the rest of the instruments. It was very good when there was a lot of high-end and when the voice had a lower volume, making it sound more distant (near 1:02). You could also try to add a high-pass filter on top of that low-pass filter to make it sound more radio-ish. It could work as well.

Nonetheless, it was a very interesting soundtrack. Very great job !

Thank you very much for listening ! Glad you enjoyed.

Thank you very much for listening and for the feedback ! Indeed our tracks lack a bit of polish to make them sound less artificial. We will keep that in mind for the next time, thank you again !

Lingering Memories

Very nice background textures. I loved those glockenspiel/xylophone (couldn't guess what it was) notes.

Cathedral Ruins

Really cool atmosphere created by the background pads/strings textures

Overall, great soundtrack ! I really liked the ambience/vibe that I found very interesting. Good job !

Very cool soundtrack ! I really liked that lush atmosphere you created, those textures sound really good ! 

1 Echoes of Aeos

Amazing track. Those drums are amazing, they create so much rhythm and power.

2 Whispers Beneath the Canopy

Very nice contrast with the first track. The instrumentation is absolutely gorgeous, and I like the contrast of ethnic instruments with a synth bass. Huge work on the percussive/background side. The track is just a delight to listen to. I like the bg instruments that make it a bit different than the other track with the same vibe

3 Abyssal Signal

Crazy track. It sounds so grand, epic and dramatic. I absolutely love the background noisy textures.

4 Echoes of Aeos (piano ver.)

Beautiful performance.

Would fit really well as an ending theme or during a cutscene. It's a nice rest from the more energetic track that played just before.

I absolutely loved your soundtrack. Every track is an absolute masterpiece and just... woah.  I want to hop in that game and listen to more of that soundtrack so bad ! 

Woah ! I'm just blown up. Everything is beautiful, from the composition work to the orchestration, everything is just... stunning. I don't know what else to say than: it's a masterpiece.

Just... gorgeous. The soundscape you created in the background is just wonderful and accompagny that beautiful voice really perfectly.

And the result is stunning. Really, it was a wonderful piece. I would love to listen to more of your art.

Hats off to you.

It was so fun to listen to it ! I love the sounds you used across the two tracks.

I really liked how you reused the theme of the first track in The Rubber Ducky That Tries To Kill You (In A Nice Way), and how you used the duck sound as a drum. It's so funny listening to that lead, and the tempo change was just perfect.

Amazing job, I really loved your submission.

You are completely right, the drums feel a bit weak. Next time, I will layer them with more drums to make it sound fuller.

Thank you very much for the feedback !

Thank you very much ! It was indeed quite hard to write in 7/4 and 5/4, but I'm very glad about how it turned out.

Oh you're completely right ! Then this amount of distortion really adds some cool air to the mix. I'm gonna steal that idea of yours for my own tracks :D

Thank you so much for the kind feedback ! And you're right, our soundtrack lacked a bit of polish to make it less artificial. We will work on that the next time !

For the reverb, you could try to put your voices on 2 tracks: one dry, one wet (with 100% reverb or less). You can then adjust the level of that track for more or less reverb, instead of using a "mix" knob that may (depending on your plugin), reduce your dry when increasing your wet.

It'd be great if you had a "decay" or "feedback" knob to reduce the length of the reverb without altering the spatialization it provides. I can recommend you the plugin "valhalla supermassive" which is a wonderful reverb. You can do a ton of cool things with it: huge reverbs, weird reverbs/echoes, small reverbs, and you have a lot of control over it.

Hope it was helpful.

And thank you very much :) I hope you will enjoy it.

It was a wonderful submission. I really loved that sort of hybrid style, blending piano/strings that make me think of some japanese game music, with more electronic textures. That really yielded something great. The composition itself was also very good and very interested, I really enjoyed those 17 minutes. The only negative things I could think of is in Bewildered, near the middle of the track, there was some heavy distortion on the kicks, I'm not sure it was intended. Though, that made me think that it could work really well as an extra spice. Also, Castle Brume left me with a "wait it's already finished ?!" type of feeling. The ending was probably a bit abrupt in my opinion, but well that's just me being picky.

Amazing job !

Now I'd really like to play that game :D no matter what genre it is.

Oh my, you just nailed the ambience. The soundtrack fits EXTREMELY well the story you depicted, and the composition is just so well written. I also loved that old game feeling, it added... something. I don't know what but it is very cool. I would have loved to be able to listen to more so that I can go deeper into the world you created, but that's just me being hungry for good music.

Amazing job. I'm really glad I could listen to your submission

Thank you so much for the kind words ! I am so happy you enjoyed our piece, it motivates me so much to make even better music !
