Description
For Abyssal Ruins, I tried to lean heavily into the theme of the jam, and tried to give the track a dream-like feeling, using lots of synth elements alongside orchestral instruments. With Relic Castle, I took a more "traditional" approach, putting more focus on recreating the original feel of the track, while also putting my own spin on it using orchestral samples, while still using some synthesised elements to tie it to the first track. I would have liked to have given the tracks more mixing time, but I'm very happy with how they both came out.

You really nailed the dream-like aspect of Abyssal Ruins. Nice job.
You did a really great job setting up a dreamy soundscape in Abyssal Ruins. You did a really good job of combining so many different sounds and making them sound very cohesive. I also like what you did with Relic Castle too. You do a really good job of translating the DS sounds to acoustic instrumentation and your own flare also adds a lot to the track as well. Keep up the good work!
Really liked both of these, the Abyssal Ruins one especially!
