Extra?
My approach for this jam was to create one song that incorporates both themes at once. I struggled a bit with figuring out what "breaking the rules" would mean for me. What I eventually came up with is a collections of ideas, sounds, and composition choices that I personally thought would be challenging and unusual to combine into something coherent. Notable elements are a 9/4 time signature with a "4-on-the-4" rhythm, an aggressive 'bad connection" effect, stops throughout, and explosion sfx. My interpretation of the second theme was to make musical and sound design choices which reflected the setting and atmosphere in the image. The scene inspired me to pick sounds and instruments that were big and airy and which echo throughout the landscape. My decision to incorporate an explosion sfx came from there being a volcano in the mountain range.

Thank you for listening!

Really cool track ! I love how the differents ideas are mixed together, with this solid groove to support it. The harmonies gave me some nostalgic vibe, and are well chosen.

My favorite part starts at 1:09, the arpeggiator is a very nice addition ! And very good job on the sound design part, the explosion adds a punctuation through the piece and some depth, love it ! 

Very well done !

i love how complex your synths are! did you make them yourself?  the arpeggiator in particular is very satisfying!

The idea of having a solid beat and bass to support the "bad connection" effect works really well. The two parts complement each other. A very solid mix, very deep. I like how you used the 9/4, it took me a while to understand how you subdivided it, I hear it as 4+1+4 which is really cool because that 1 looks like it's the end of a 5/4 but then te bar keeps going. Really nice
