Wonderful tracks- I am also appreciative of the Bear/Chicken warnings. I made to fully equip myself before listening to "Bear with me." Even with a full set of medieval plate armor I was still taken aback by the music. It was very silly- I love the percussion, but I will say that neither bear with me or chicken fight really resembled the theme to me. Like a bubble did resemble much better though, so that's good. If you plan on doing more jams like this one I would recommend trying to hunker down on those tracks that intentionally latch onto the themes presented for the Jam.
Of all of your tracks, my favorite was Like a Bubble. All of your tracks were very whimsical and fun to listen to! Great job!!!

I'm glad you took the precautionary measures to be able to hear these songs, It takes a whole lot of strength to get through them without injury. Ima be honest, I'm really shocked you were the first one to say something about the themes, that was like my biggest worry other than someone saying my songs were dog. I think if I would've explained bear with me with the story i had in mind I could've gotten away with it but I instead chose to uh well yeah. Chicken fight though, yeah I do agree completely, ngl i def got a little selfish and instead of being like hmm I like this but its a little too grand and intense I instead was like damn this is kinda sounding dope ima keep going. BUT IM SUPER HAPPY you liked like a bubble cause that's my favorite one. Thank you so much for hearing my songs and leaving compliments with a side of constructive criticism it means the world to me, so again thank you!!
I definitely felt like I got away from the theme at times, but I tried roping myself back in often enough to get myself back on track- but at the end of the day, if you're flowing and you have a certain direction, then that matters more than the theme. I don't think for a second you should ever remove what you've done because it doesn't fit the theme- but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't guide yourself in the right direction every once in a while! Additionally- something you have to consider, my interpretation of the theme is likely different from yours. If you read my post you'd see that I saw my daughter and my wife in that painting, which gave my music a certain element of emotion that no other piece had. I'm sure you saw something in the theme that you may have connected with, consciously or not, that makes your music uniquely you! Great job :) and you're welcome!!!
