What a journey really, just waw... Their are few words that can express how I felt while listening to your soundtrack. The music, the story, the world you depicted, everything feels so alive. I feel like I've just finished a game/book I was so invested I didn't want to end.
The blend of chiptune and orchestral was a genius move and completely made sense and contributed to your world building. Overall, every choice felt intentional and made sense in the great scheme of things.
Every track had it's own feel, it's own story yet everyone of them is connected to the world it lives in. I absolutely love the Lover's theme, the way the Flute and Oboe entangle beautifully when first heard, the way it's a bit muted when harmonised in "Her Final Wish" to give just a glimmer of hope in such a though choice that feels wrong yet right either way... And I have to give a special mention to that daaamn triangle, I've never heard this instrument have so much impact on a piece of music. It gives that spark of magic to every track it's in, and also contributes widely to the momentum of the different parts and movements!
I truly enjoyed every little detail you put in there and I can sense how much of yourself you've put into this soundtrack. I know it must have been hard and I tip my hat to you for that! 🙂
You're one of the reasons I even got into the OST Jams through "Animula" and probably contributed to why I got into making music. So needless to say I had very high expectations when I saw that you were participating, and you completely surpassed them 😄
All in all, I just wanted to add that I really understand what you're going through, yet every situation has it's share of complications and so I can't begin to comprehend what you feel, but through your music maybe I'm a little bit closer to it!
Congrats on this phenomenal soundtrack 👏
