You've yeed your last haw !
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
First track conveys warmth and adventure, pictures of shiny fields and valleys. Fits well with summer pictures.
Track two is darker, it conveys danger and mystery. It could fit well with pictures of cold peaks and snowy paths in the mist.
Track three could fit any season but is a nice conclusion for a western soundtrack.

Ennio Morricone is dancing in his grave. And I'm dancing in my chair. Yeeeeeee haw!
haha ;) congrats on second place !
Sun Valley: I think you do an excellent job creating imagery with your music in this track. The galloping snare with the wood blocks give the auditory imagery of horses galloping. I think the shaker at the end sounds very much like a rattle of a snake. The whistle, hum, and electric guitar give a sound that simply sounds like the wild West.
Winter Mirage: You do a great job of keeping the similar themes from one track to the next while still making a completely different song. Using the same tempo and a similar assortment of iconic instruments (the whistle and the electric guitar) really make this seem like a new level to the same game. I like the use of the low buzzing trombone and the monotonal driving strings that give the sense of being in a more desolate and less warm area.
Rogue: This is a really cool blend of western and rock music. The production value is high in this track with the sound effects, guitar fret noises, pitch bending, and so many more intricacies that are seamlessly blended to create a cohesive and very interesting track.
Hi, wow, thanks for taking the time to review the music in depth! It's great to have a detailed analysis of your own music :)
wild west + cowboy bebop fusion?? why not!!
I need to watch these shows now ;)
This was just so...so...so good!
Thank you!
LOVE ROGUE
i didn't expect rhodes for a western theme but it fits so well!
Well spotted! Rhodes sound is yummy :)
Really fantastic stuff. I don't even know where to start.. from the composition to the production, it's all executed flawlessly. The sample at the start of Rogue was a nice little detail also.
Thanks a lot!
Quite different from the other stuff I've heard in this jam, and very well done.
Thank you!
This blew me away, absolutely stellar! I could listen to this for hours.
wow, thank you :) I have other tracks in the genre, i think i'll add them later in the soundcloud playlist.
perfectly offer the dramatic atmosphere of a wild west.
Man, Rogue kicks ass completely - all tracks were solid but that one stood out for me the most. Amazing work.
Thank you! I tried to give it a 70's rock / grindhouse movies vibe :)
Качество и стиль на высоте.
Thank you!
Love the unique vibe. Great orchestration, great mixing! :)
thanks :) !
Oudda da damn way
