I particularly like the second piece, I think you should develop that further. It was a cool combination of textures!

Description
Hey Everyone!
This is what I've imagined for this jam and I'm really excited to share my work with everyone and see what you've all come up with too.
I took a lot of inspiration from so many different places for this little soundtrack I came up with and I imagined it could work great for a little Indie adventure game. Something along the lines of Neva, Zelda or adventure games that have many different environments is what I imagined for this project.
Running off to Adventure, is a song that's meant to evoke the excitement of starting a new journey and the rush as you run off towards your goals.
What Lurks in the Dark, is meant to elicit some uncertainty and fear as you walk through the unknown darkness of the world you never knew was below your feet.
The Journey By Your Side, is inspired by a scene between Sam and Frodo at the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. I rewatched the movie recently and this moment just really stuck with me. This song is meant to evoke a sense of friendship, compassion and gratitude for those who have travelled with you through thick and thin.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results but of course I know there's lots of room for improvement too. I'd love to hear any comments or feedback if you'd like to or be willing to share.
More specifically, I know I'm not the best at mixing and I know my harmonies or chord progressions can be a little funky sounding sometimes, so if you have any suggestions on improvements in these areas I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Most of all though I hope you enjoy listening!
