Track 1: This piano opening is beautifully cinematic, and an awesome start to your soundtrack. I am extremely excited to hear your use of modes-- it is clever musical ideas like these that add interest to any soundtrack. Great opening theme, definitely gives this game a sense of awe and wonder and has me excited to keep listening.

Track 2: this is a simple, beautiful menu theme,.

Track 3: I love this catchy theme! So far your music has been attentively written, and it all sounds great. I am glad that you aren't shying away from changing meter, modulation, and having plenty of consistent changes to the music.  Better to have one minute of great, diverse music than 4 minutes of a repeating chord-line, it really keeps the track moving.

Track 4: another really well-done track, I enjoyed the accordion and the wide variety of instruments used here-- using a lot of instruments is an easy way to add diversity and prevent the timbres (no pun intended for this pirate-y track) from getting boring.

Track 5: At this point in your soundtrack, I haven't yet said "okay, I get the gist of this track, let me skip to the next..." You do a good enough job of keeping things very interesting that I have listened to each track fully.  This one is no exception: definitely giving starry cave vibes.

Track 6: Wow, awesome usage of the Locrian mode here, this track goes so hard!!! That transition into the beat was awesome... absolutely killer boss battle music.

Track 7: Only because you're so good I feel like I can nitpick, the melody in this track was slightly hard to follow. It drifted without much direction or shape. Other than that, the track sounds really beautiful and makes a lovely conclusion to this amazing soundtrack.

From one composer to another, fantastic job. I am glad that you embraced modes: they really are a simple and effective way to add interest and character to any track. I hope you continue to write music, as you've got the gift of charming, lyrical melodies, music with plenty of character, and a knack for writing meaningful, awesome stories.

Wow, thank you so much for your attentive listening and for sharing your thoughts with me- it truly means a lot and as a self-taught composer this is how I am learning and improving! I admire your work immensely and take all of your feedback to heart. Regarding the nitpick (which I am grateful for!), that is actually exactly where I got stuck. I couldn't figure out where to go with the melody and had to rewrite it multiple times. I know that it resulted in an open-ended way but since melody is often important to my style of writing, I think that your suggestion of giving it shape and an endpoint is definitely something I need to focus on with every one of my melodies. Thank you for your comments!
