you do such a great job mixing nostalgia with an epic feel, and honestly it's all thanks to composition, instrument choice, and your chord progressions. i especially liked your introduction of vocals in certain tracks, especially the first one. this truly feels like a coming-of-age tale and your tracks are interwoven with a lot of emotion. "Base Camp" is one of my favorite tracks, because it introduces a great deal of contrast without straying from the original theme you have built. i love how you play around with time signatures as well, great touch!
great work!!! i had a lot of fun getting to listen!!
