I liked the melody around ~40s in, dipping into optimistic before lulling into contemplative. You put a lot of thought towards how the melody and the harmony interplay, and it shows in the work.

The second theme "GeoMusic" and the image inspired me to make this theme, largely inspired by the Hollow Knight's OST, evoking deep underground crystal caves.
I use fourth chords colours to evoke the crystals, and deep basses for the underground part. Slow tempo and repeated arpeggios for a meditative mood.
I tried at first many other things, tried to follow the "break the rules" challenge, but nothing satisfied me. I wanted to orchestrate the piece at some point, but I lacked the time to do so. Anyway, thanks for listening, any feedback is highly appreciated :D
