Listening to your music inspires me. I need a bit of time to go to details right now ^^
Aside from the high quality and marvelous compositions you deliver, I was hooked by the story. I was surprised to find all these topics (art/expression/parenting-child growing etc) in a puzzle game. The idea of playing levels twice with different perspectives works well with that type of game and it allowed you to build a strong narrative for writing music.
The story is poetic and metaphoric. Truely made me go deep in thoughts/feelings.
About music now. I remember being surprised by the minimalism of the opening. The chalk helped me getting into your world, entertained.
Dreamworld is again minimalist, but perfectly dreamy. Making effective soundtracks with a minimum of lines/instruments is not always easy :). I walked through the house with Mitsuki, not worried at all by the flood...
All the part in the painting with Mr. Plum was a magic Journey :) (I heard the Wii menu theme for a second in Tea with mr Plum ^^). Beautiful and quality orchestration as usual!
I remember the switch happening in myself when I drowned in Missing... The perspective change hit me like if I was still an unconscious child.
Akari river took me back on the magic journey with a weight on my mind. Very transport transportive track.
The Duck converse was a very touching moment, musically and story wise. I don't know, both sides felt simple and honest...
Descent from the clouds made me feel the urge to Come back to reality where I (and Mitsuki) realised Kasumi might be worried. I guess writing this one was fun!
Motions No 18 conveys the difficulty and vicious circle you can get stuck in when making art very well.
The ending started like if Kasumi had finally found the strenght to overcome every challenge on her path. To finally free herself and change her own perspectives. The emotions of finding Mitsuki and re connecting to her art were so well mixed in the music.
Superb submission in general !
