Description
This playlist captures the image of a city, forgotten to time and to the lives that once lived in it. each song captures a different emotion that is felt with this loss. The first song, Loss of Loves, recounts the lives and laughter that are now lost, a sombre melody. Purposeless purpose captures the new life found within it, the new creatures and plants it houses, it's purpose despite no longer filling it's original design. And the last song, Winds of Time, capture the fading memories, the last songs and stories that are told before it is fully forgotten.

Description of Setup (Optional but recommended)
Mixcraft is a unique program that is unique both in being ancient and being the only music program i ever learnt to use. i have plans to change programs but as of right now i cant explain the setup easily, as all instruments are from the default mixcraft library.

cool composition, I like the flute, but sadly all of the instruments sound bit midi but I really don't mind, but I bet it will be more interesting if there are dynamics! any case well done, I do love it!
The composition and arrangement is top notch! But I think you can play around a bit more with the dynamics of each of the instruments so they don't sound too "midi". A bit of modulation and expression can go a long way in improving the overall dynamics.
Nice stuff! Keep up the good work!
Very nicely done! I got some PS1 rpg vibes listening to these tracks. I enjoyed how the arrangement of "Purposeless Purpose" opened up with the large ensemble about a minute in.
A FELLOW MIXCRAFT USER!!
I love the atmosphere in these tracks, especially 'Purposeless Purpose'—it's my favorite! The flutes are beautiful. I think I need to revisit some of the DAW's instruments, I’d forgotten how nice they are.
Overall, I really get the vibe of exploring abandoned homes in a lost city, uncovering the remnants of their story through items and furniture.
*Edit: I think I've come back listening to 'Purposeless purpose' about 3 times now, it's just so cozy and warm. Really nice track!
Interesting instruments on the default library. Quite old school in a good sense. Overall result has quite a thick sound, very orchestral. You did well managing to remain the atmospheric feeling with it.
Drum start on the first one was perfect. I like the darker sub tone horn-like instrument adds before the second half of the song.
Nice waves on the third one. The no transition to bang-ish steel bell-like instrument was nice.
The only thing I can recommend - maybe make arpegios a bit more uneven. The second composition would benefit from more pauses or subtle changes in them.
Overall I think you made pretty cool tracks, well done!
