got a lot of great ideas here! I think you need a better instrument patch though. IMO it doesn’t scale well between different note velocities. Kind of makes it sound like you’re just tweaking the volume knob rather than playing and interacting with the instrument. I dunno, I feel like a better synth could bring those notes more alive!

Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
Very straight down the middle of a generic D&D hero out to slay an orange dragon. I spent 90+% of the time more thinking of ways and means about the whole-tone usage than the plot to be frank. Busy week with a lot of jams due in parallel (I sorry!)
What genre is your soundtrack?
Primarily Orchestral classical for the -middle- section but everyone knows me on Itch by now that I can't get that Jazz bug out of my system. A Jazz intro and outro capping either end of the middle.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I went very heavy on the whole-tone scale and used it numerous times, the original middle section's start used the literal depicted C-natural whole-scale almost exactly like the pictured notation in the provided jam description.
