1. Follow the Ghost - Really nice ambience with panning effects. I like the ocean waves sound you used. It feels creepy but also a little lonely.

2 Coral Town - Some cool flute clarinet duo. My favorite part was the piano feature at the end. I think the high piano notes were better at cutting through the mix.

3. Cephalopod Shuffle Jazzy! - I really liked the choice of instruments and style. Very square-dance like

4. The village atop a whale - Nice Whales :)

5. Dolphin Taxi - Cool sax solo. The running arpeggios and driving baseline give a lot of fitting energy to the piece.

6. Nephropus, King of the Lobsters - Super fitting instrument choices with harpsichord (?) and snare drums giving the piece a very "royal" flavor. One critic--I think you could have made the track fit a bit better with the militant theme. The snare drum is there, but it feels a bit too chill and.

7. Sunken Mausoleum - The sound design is on point. The church bells and choir give a somber funeral feeling fitting for the father.

8. Farewell Father - interesting harmonization. Liked your use of leitmotifs.

overall a Fantastic submission. There was a good mix of atmospheric and catchy songs that kept me engaged; however all the tracks felt like they belonged together. Some great sound-design. The length of the soundtrack is impressive too.

excellent work!

Thank you for the feedback! The main thing I need to take from this jam is to make better use of the high end of the frequency spectrum, I am still learning how to mix well so this is a great action I can take to improve my songs.

With Nephropus, King of the Lobsters, I didn’t really want to go too far with the militant theme, in my head the character would be a friendly king who leads an army (but I didn’t put that in the description). To be honest, looking at the responses so far, I think this is people’s least favourite track, so maybe if I did lean more into the military theming it would make the song more interesting.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave this comment!
