Description
The theme for this jam was The Lost City, which I decided could either be VERY ominous, or rather mysterious. I went with the latter, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Description of Setup (Optional but recommended)
The main intrument was a flute belonging to the Essential Keys Soundfont(https://sites.google.com/site/soundfonts4u/home), which I created an ascending arpeggio of the base melody. I also used the Rhodes Bell EP(same soundfont) to as the assisting base playing the A5 chord with diminishing velocity to give a fading effect. The counter melody halfway through was achieved with the same flute instrument as before, but instead of playing quick notes I stretched them out to be more pronounced. During the climax I added a third melody, played by the Warm Pad(same soundfont again), which I feel accents the whole piece, before transitioning into an outro, although the track could be looped without too much difficulty.

It reminded me of a Tesseract song, very pleasant.
I really like the use of the rhodes, the soft echo is perfect for the texture of something being lost.
Why is it that when I hear this track, I get this picture in my head: a small group of dwarves playing insturments, because they are bored.... Seriously, I can even see that very passionate gnome blowing hard into a light wind instrument.... (What's the name of that brass at the beginning?). In short - Gnomes
А! Right! Track!! It's magical :>
The general combination of instruments, the atmosphere of something old, slightly overgrown and yet a bit gritty... I love it!
GNOMES
Thanks so much for the comment, it really means a lot. The first instrument(the one that plays right off the bat) is a flute, which I actually reused for the countermelody halfway in lol. I also later added a harp to accent the melody so it wouldn't get drowned out in the mix.
GNOMES.
