This submission was really fun! I really like how each piece fits naturally into an imaginary arc for a story, and that there's a consistent vibe across them (even when they're clearly playing different roles in the narrative). My favorite piece is probably #4 Fish Lullaby - the perc is really tickly in a good way in the middle. Great work guys!

- "Main Menu" had a wonderfully high-flying quality that I thought was really nicely complimented by the use of percussion-- particularly snare-- just a smile on my face from beginning to end. I appreciate the focus on legible melodic content as well (true throughout the entirety of this entry, really). I very much appreciate the effort put into having a live version of "Shrinking World" in your submission. The performance here really adds to the whole, and I thought it was rendered with just the right amount of expressive playing. Thank you so much for this! Sometimes I felt that the tracks ended a bit abruptly, which is to say that I was enjoying them quite a bit and would like to hear some of them developed even more-- "Cat Chase" and "Beyond the Door" in particular felt like the story was just a tad cut off from a structural point of view, and that there was more to say with the material you had presented. Overall, I was very impressed with the material here. Very nice work!
Description
Hi everyone this is our submission for OST Composing Jam #7. The theme of the competition was "Inside My World". Our biggest hurdle was finishing up the "Shrinking World" theme since it was last minute we had to play it live. We ended up using the theme as the name for our soundtrack. If you're interested, we made a little story below that goes with the whole soundtrack. Anyways I hope everyone can take the time to listen to our soundtrack we put a lot of work into it! Enjoy!

Story
Inside My World:
In a nice cozy town in the middle of summer, a little girl named Bell discovers a mysterious door leading to a magical world full of imagination. This is her story.
Cat Chase:
One summer day while playing outside Bell notices a little cat. She calls the cat over, but the cat just stands there looking confused. As Bell starts to walk over to him the cat runs off. Bell wanting to play with the cat chases after it, running through streets, yards, and even by the beach just to catch the cat.
Beyond the Door:
After chasing the cat for so long Bell gets lost in an alleyway somewhere in the middle of town. While Bell looks around trying to find the way back home she sees bubbles, water, and even floating golden fish coming from around the corner. Bell rushes over to see where all of it is coming from. When she turns the corner she finds herself in front of a door leading to a magical world. Filled with curiosity she slowly enters the door. Bell finds so many magical things in this world like floating bubbles, a magical sea floor golden and brimming with joy, and even talking fish that swim in the air. She starts playing with the fish and running around realizing that anything she wants can come to life inside this world.
Fish Lullaby:
After hours of playing with the talking fish, she lays down on the golden sea floor to take a nap. While she naps the fish play her a beautiful little lullaby.
The shrinking world:
Bell wakes up suddenly because of a nightmare and realizes she can't find the way back to her world. Since she can't find the door she starts feeling afraid and the world starts shrinking around her, the bubbles start to pop, the talking fish start to disappear, and even the golden sea floor starts to become dim. She's scared and running everywhere trying to find a way out.
A Way Out:
Right when everything was about to disappear she finally saw it, it was the door. She starts to run towards it and a sense of relief fills the world around her. She hears her mom calling out to her wondering where she ran off to, saying "Bell dinners ready, where are you". The world instantly expands with bubbles, golden light, and even the talking fish that had disappeared. As she walked towards the door wanting to show her mom this new world the fish waved and said "Come back soon, we'll miss you" With a final step she walked out the door and fell onto her mom who was waiting for her in the alleyway.
Inside My World (Credits):
Bell's mom asked in a flustered state "Where have you been your food is getting cold". Bell grabbed her mom's arm saying "Mom, Mom look at this I went through this door and..." but when she turned around to look at the door it wasn't there, it had disappeared without a trace. There were no more fish, no more bubbles, and even the water that covered the alleyway was gone. Her mom said "What are you talking about silly, what door." Bell pointed at where the door was and said, "It was just right here I promise". Bell explained everything to her mom but she just thought that it was Bell's imagination. Then after getting up off the ground they both walked back home and began to eat dinner. The little girl never saw that door again but she always referred to it as "Her little world".

How does it fit the theme?
We built a story around the girl and the magical world she finds. I think that the story we made matches perfectly with both themes.
