I quite enjoyed the third track and can see myself fighting a boss while it plays. For the first two tracks, I thought there were some pretty cool ideas, but they struggled a little to find a "home". I think a big part of composition is finding a good balance between tension and release, and while the perfect balance is totally a subjective thing, I felt like you built up a lot of tension without releasing it very often. I think having a more clear home chord could help here.

Another thing I quite liked was the choice of instrumentation, well done! The little bell sounds were very cute :)

Honestly, as much as I'd like to give the cop-out answer and say "Oh, that was intentional, it's meant to represent how the main character struggles to find where they belong!" (which actually could be true, but the only thing that was intentional was the constant tension), I care too much about the music theory behind the compositions to disregard this critique. I agree, a good home chord is important, and my tracks aren't the best they could be in that category. Thanks for taking the time!

Thanks for your reply :) I hope I didn't come off as too harsh in my comment, I just usually try to give some constructive criticism in my feedback and sometimes end up focusing on perceived weaknesses a bit too much. I also absolutely think that these songs contain some really unique harmonic choices and the tension they build is a nice fit for the class conflict theme you're going for.

Oh, no, not at all -- it's completely valid criticism, and very constructive for me.
