Description
Two themes largely inspired by Yasunori Mitsuda and Motoi Sakuraba in style, written to fit a hypothetical JRPG.

Message from the artist:
I've struggled a bit while producing, but managed to get everything ready JUST in time. I hope you'll enjoy the tracks!

Theme:

Story of Seasons

How does it fit the theme?
The tracks were inspired by the seasons theme, by my impression of idyllic scenes pertaining to each season.

love the percussion in both tracks! the soundtrack really feels like it'd be a part of an obscure RPG, like hylics or OFF

Really like that bassline in Scene with Leaves

You created a nice atmosphere here, definitely feels idyllic. I really liked the melody on the "Perfect Eden" and the groove of the "Scene with Leaves". Both tracks feel rough around the edges, but I think it's expected with how complex they get - especially the bassline on the second one.

Overall very interesting pieces, I enjoyed them a lot :)

I really like the percussion crashes that start coming in after 1:30 in Perfect Eden, it's a cool addition that I think fits really well

Really neat... the instrumentation and feel reminds me of the HyperRogue soundtrack, especially Perfect Eden.

Perfect Eden: This is interesting exploration of a very earthy sounding sound. I particularly like the modulation to the new key and the addition of the choral sounds. I think your bass and slow lilting drum groove are very cohesive.

Scene with Leaves: The chord changes you use that are acting more as non-functional harmony give a very cool ethereal ambient vibe. The bass riffs are also pretty awesome.

Overall: In my opinion, your strengths are in your ability to create a solid rhythm section. The two drum grooves are very interesting and do not feel repetitive. The bass lines you add are very cohesive with the drums. I also like the setting that your instrument choice evokes. I get great Tales of Symphonia vibes from both of these tracks. One suggestion I have moving forward to help create melody lines that can be followed by a listener is to avoid using multiple large leaps in a row. Multiple large jumps in the melody can be disorienting (which is great if that's what you are going for), but can sometimes risk distracting the listener.  You could try the "sing test". If a melody is easily singable, then you can be more reassured that the listener will be able to follow along easier. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work!
