It's interesting to hear how others have interpreted the optional theme. Your vision was so different from what I had in mind, but it works. You don't hear sung songs in jams too often, bonus points for that!

Title
Thorns & Aerial
Description
I originally started making Aerial and got a lot done in the first 2 days, but then i got a bit stuck/lost motivation on it, so i didn't work on it at all until the last day where i got an idea/motivation to start working on another track (which ended up being the shorter track "Thorns")
Aerial is a sort of drum and bass influenced chill electronic thing in 5/4 and 7/4
Thorns is a short metal track in 7/8.
I took this jam as an opportunity try getting better at vocal/singing stuff, so both tracks have vocals.
The pronounciation is a bit shit, i know :D
