Hey beholdmydemons, how are you? Hopefully you're doing well! Did you play the Guitar parts yourself; they sound like they could be real recordings! Either way, I'm really impressed with the color of your tracks and I can't say that I've heard anything quite like this thus far!
First, let's talk "Searching For You": I love that you started with a very catchy Guitar Motif and then just continue to build from there! The orchestral part complements the Guitar really well, and I love that you introduced a second guitar that has a different timbre. This piece feels conveys several different emotions to me, it feels solemn, nostalgic, reflective, and even expresses a feeling of contentment to me somehow. Because this piece gave me such a large variety of emotions, I think this track could be used in a variety of contexts, which is great! My only criticism would be that the piece ends a bit too abruptly in my opinion, but beyond that I think this is some great work!
Next, let's talk "Drifting Off": I admire that you chose you to layer in a really cool ambient track for this piece! The nature sounds (I think that's what those are) add a great sense of place and make me feel like I'm in a tranquil forest or campsite with some friends whom I really love and care about. Just like with "Searching For You", the repeating Guitar Motif is really beautiful and fun to listen to, it never gets old in my opinion! I'm really impressed with those track, great job!
Thank you for sharing your work, and I'm excited to see what music you make in the future. Best of luck for this Jam, beholdmydemons!

Thank you so much! Everything in this soundtrack aside from the MIDI orchestra was played and recorded by me. Drifting Off has 12 string guitar and 2 different banjos (panned to either side), and Searching for You has 12 string guitar, classical guitar, and banjola.
Again, thanks for your comment! It made my day!
