Theme

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
Video game theme I made based on the picture:

A little girl just lost her mother at a very young age and she is having a hard time dealing with it. One night when she was listening to the music box that her mother played with on the piano to help her sleep, she woke up in this dream like world. She found herself completing these trails and puzzles and as she got closer she could hear her mother playing the piano. Finally at the end of the game, she gets to embrace her mother one more time before she wakes up to the music box playing next to her.

Beautiful pieces, I especially liked the delicacy of the music box jam! Well done!

Cool sountrack! Lovely contrast between them and the way you guided us through text. Very nice use of the theme.

Excellent work!!!

Nice pieces! They are a tad on the quiet side unfortunately but I just cranked my volume to compensate. 

I really liked the crescendo half-way through Lost Without You - the orchestration here is beautiful and layered really well. Both tracks are nice and evocative, with solid progressions. I would love to have heard more!

Great submission all in all, best of luck with the jam!

I really enjoyed the composition and the idea behind this OST. The piano could be mixed a bit more prominently, but it still resonated with me. Nice job!

the piano is really really quiet. When the strings came in it was really nice and the dynamics were very well used.

I think more echo at the end with the cutoff would give it a really cool effect and make it sound even more empty because it sounds weird the way it cuts off almost instantly.

The composition of both tracks is good. However, the piano is mixed too quietly. If that was more pronounced, it would have a stronger impact in mood and attention.

Very nice sounds, but perhaps the solo piano part in the first track at the beginning and end is a little too quiet?

Melodies are all very strong though, and the strings sound lovely together and with the piano accomp.

2nd track sounds a lot more balanced and the music box works nicely with the piano.

In my headset and speakers from my computer it sounded fine and then I noticed on soundcloud the piano through my phone was really quiet. Thank you for the feedback!!

Great use of dynamics, and the instrument sounds, especially the strings, are fantastic!
