I immediately recognized the musescore instruments haha. I wouldn't use it for anything other than sheet music. I'd recommend exporting as midi and then using it in something like Cakewalk (which is free) or any other daw to make the audio itself.


Now to the soundtrack (with my opinion of course, like everything else is):

It sounds pretty chaotic to me. This is probably because every instrument tried to kind of play its own melody (like from bar 25 or 53 and onwards).  Maybe letting the violin and viola only play chords would make it sound cleaner while still providing that "explosion" for the part.

I like the main melody tho. Very simple, which makes it perfect to use in a variety of places. I also liked the kind of instruments you picked, I think they match each other great (tho as said at the very top, if it's for exporting audio, don't use the musescore instruments).

I also liked how the melodies mix at the end, tho it got a bit chaotic as well.


Overall, I think this soundtrack matches the theme goodly.

Thanks for your input. I'll certainly look into Cakewalk. I looked into DAWs, but usually the tutorials that I found were about the paid, professional versions, which I don't think make sense to invest money in the beginning.

And I see what you mean on the "chaos". This was somehow the intention, but I guess it went far over of what I was looking into (I composed it in a piano as a harmony for the first melody, then transcripted and changed to several instruments, just joining some notes/adding some inessential notes just for bridging). Maybe keeping it simpler would have gone way better, looking in retrospective.

Again, thanks a lot for your constructive feedback. I'll look forward to change this melody in the future, making it simpler (and giving it time to rest, as the first feedback mentioned as well). All the best! :)
