Description
I imagine I got a lot of inspiration from Isle of Dogs, I used a lot of taiko drums in this one, a lot of experimentation and basically just put my heads down to it, since there's not a lot of time. (Will come back and write more)
Theme:
Two Worlds
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
There are two sections in the track Tension in the Alps, the first one being the "red" world, the second being the more happy one. The setting is also on a mountain with some conflict going on.

I really like the variety in your use of percussion. You also had some pretty cool rhythmic ideas. I have to admit I was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff happening in the second track, though. Towards the end of the first section, some of the new ideas you introduced got a little lost in the mix for me. I think some in-between sections where you subtract parts and introducing a new idea during such a quiet part might improve the overall flow of the piece. Kind of how you handled the transition from the first to the second part, that was pretty cool.
Damn your work is so inspiring. Love the minimalistic approach. tensions in the alps is so great, I love the rythm and patterns and after that sets a really nice contrast. Great Job!
Prologue: With the taiko drums and the driving rhythm, this piece felt like the climb up to the peaks of the mountain where a conflict would take place. I think the transition and similarities between the first two tracks make this into a nice story arc.
Tension in the Alps: I like the building tension that very much feels like the red image. The percussion parts added in create such a cool rhythmic energy that I really enjoyed. I like that the even though the second half was intended to be the happier section, the tension never fully dissipated and I felt on edge right up to the end.
After That: That is a cool effect that sounds like a vinyl warble. This track sounded like a track that would accompany a cinematic track following a battle scene. Overall this was a really cool submission that I think really emphasized the picture/gif theme in a unique and accurate way. Thanks for sharing!
Very effective use of the theme! Tension in the Alps is my favorite, a creative mix of textures.
The Tension in the Alps track feels like it's made for a triple A title game! I also love the drums in all of these pieces.
Really good tracks!
Really liked the sound design and emotion of the tracks! Really good work <3
