Description
Dreamlight it's a plataformer Celeste-like about a girl named Lily who everytime she goes to sleep, she enters his own dreams and depending on how she manages to get through his dreams she will have a better time waking up in the morning.

Genre:Orchestral, Classical

DAW:FL Studio

Runtime:2 Days (I got very busy and wasn't able to use all the time in the jam unfortunately)

1st Track
Represents the winter season

2nd Track
Represents the spring season

Theme:

Story of Seasons
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I was writing for each seasons and because of time complications wasn't able to do too much 1st track is focused on winter and the 2nd more on spring

On the picture theme (that it was beautiful by the way) i got the idea for the pieces aswell but also for the "idea" of the game of having this girl enter his own dreams and experience them very vividly

1st Track
It's more on the high pitch on the music to represent the cold and chilly season of winter but also made it mysterious in a way because the game starts on winter and it's the first moment she enters his dreams and it's very mystical and intriguing for her

2nd Track
I imagine the character "Lily" entering a very fantasy like dream surrounded by a flower field in the middle of a forest while the sun is gazing gently upon her giving this warm and cozy sensation of calmness representing the spring season while she walks and sees how nature surrounds her while a small breeze moves the scene

These two songs are seriously beautiful, the nocturne especially. The violin melody is so sad and sweet I actually got shivers toward the end of the first phrase at 0:37. 

I'm very curious which violin and piano sample libraries you used here.  You've managed to squeeze every last drop of realism and emotion out of them and it's quite effective. Great job!

Ooooh thanks! That's great i'm glad you enjoyed them. 

For both pieces i used The Giant (Piano) and for the strings i used CSS (Cinematic Studio Solo Strings)
