The music box and piano duet is a really fitting vibe for the story you have.
Thank you!
Broken out is a beautiful melody where... Probably one of the saddest endings (I love these sounds musically.)
Warmth of dreams is very melancholic and this track definitely creates the atmosphere of a bygone childhood. It's like I'm remembering all the simplest but most beautiful episodes of my childhood and... crying? It's like I miss that sweet simplicity and comfort.
You have a very beautiful story. I like it. Thanks!
Thank you!
Beautiful soundtrack, it fits very well with the story you describe.
On the other hand as FoxHyode said would be cool to consider adding more instrumentation or layering different textures, this depends also of the song, maybe you just wanted it to be one piano for example, but consider to work on that and your compositions will take more and more dimensions.
I really enjoyed your soundtrack, keep going with the good job!! 😁🔥
Thank you for the advice!
Sweet and gentle little piece, composition is good but its missing some "body" and arrangement to make it move a little more, you started to have an idea in Broken out on how to move things but I think it can be ever greater. The volume is also very low in general you can crank this up. Good job.
Thank you for the advice!
Nice ambiences, I let myself be transported by the music! Great job!
Thank you!
Well thought out submission! Both tracks are sombre but not in an oppressing sense. Great choice of instruments for both arrangements; fits perfectly within the vibe you were going for. Good job mixing too - I find bell-like tones like vibraphones, glockenspiels and marimbas can be a little difficult to sit well in the mix with how resonant they can be.
Great work all in all with both of these, hope that they get some more due attention in the coming days. Best of luck with the jam!
Thank you!
Sad and beautiful compositions, well done!
Thank you!
