Track 1: This is a really lovely motif! Beautiful use of mixed meter-- and I love the sound of this cello, so expressive with wonderful legato. Harmonically, I'm interested the whole time. Solid job, and great ending.

Track 2: Ah, this was a refreshing change of pace-- I love the upbeat strings and the layering of new instruments with the second repetition. The B section is well-done, that wooden percussion instrument has such a cool sound to it-- I can't quite tell if it's just a marimba.

Track 3: Another awesome change of pace, this track is so fun! The guitar sounds great too-- and the kit percussion is a wonderful addition. This is a prime example of how to remix an existing melody in a cool way! Despite such wildly different sonic worlds between tracks 2 and 3, the melody helps keep it consistent.

Track 4: I love a nice, delicate winter level theme, and this accomplishes that beautifully. I love the slowed-down melody-- another great way to mix things up, and it opens up room for more interesting countermelodies-- as you have done with the crotales/glock.

Track 5: Another great mood shift, the dramatic piano and drums sound great! For some reason, something about this mix-- maybe the solo violin?-- makes it feel less intense and more computer-ey. I can't pin exactly what it is, sorry.

Track 6: I'm glad to hear the return of that beautiful solo cello! The buildup to the release is really cool-- and the conclusion is wonderful, I love a good bVi bVii I...

In all, I'm impressed by your work. This is a good soundtrack with a lot of character. I think it is missing a sense of identity, which is perhaps a result of just how varied each track sounds. It's a shame, because that variety is my favorite part of the whole thing-- so take my words with a grain of salt. I am impressed-- keep writing, it all sounded great!

Thank you so much for your insightful feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That solo cello is the Tina Guo library from Cinesamples. It's really nice for expressive legato stuff as you've heard, highly recommend it (It's also fairly affordable on sale given it's quality). The wooden percussion is a Marimba, though it isn't the most realistic sounding one out there so that's probably why you couldn't put your figure on it. It works quite well the piece though. For track 5, I honestly was having a lot of trouble making it sound right, so I completely understand what your saying. I changed the instruments a lot and mess with a lot of different effects, but in the end, I ran out of time so I just had to upload what I had. Given more time, I probably would make it mesh a bit better with the rest of the soundtrack but it is what it is.

I really wanted to push myself to try a whole bunch of styles because I'm still experimenting a lot with music production, so that's where that variety came from. A missing sense of identity is a valid critique though, and it's something I'll surely improve on in the future. Thank you for listening!
