Thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you took the time to listen fully and share your feedback. And I love that you were able to see the story come to life. I tried to combine "diegetic" instruments like strings for waves and winds for the Albatross alongside the piano melodies. I'm so glad it seems like it worked!
You're totally right that it's our job as composers to bring out the best in the visuals we're given. I think we're incredibly lucky to have this jam format as an opportunity to create both the vision and the delivery. It's a very cathartic experience and it seems like every time I'm going through the submissions for a new jam I discover this magic all over again :)
