Last Gift: That ticking sounds very similar to the effect I used! Very nice. :) That violin is so sweet over the piano. Great job with the melancholy vibes you were going for - nailed it.
Dusting Off: Those piano rolls feel like broom sweeps which is a great way to represent your story musically. The beauty of the chords adds to the emotional impact of this track.
A Timekeeper’s Lullaby: Nothing says nostalgia like Pachelbel’s Canon!
Epoch Pond: I can easily imagine this as one of those cinematic moments where all sound from the scene is removed and the pretty piano plays as is over the video giving you a sense of many emotions at once. I like how this track goes from slow saunter to happy vibes and finally ending on a sad note before ending contentedly.
Out and About: The pads behind the bells really ties this track together. This is a really serene sounding track that I really like the idea of it conveying night walking.
Remember: This piano waltz track feels a lot like the opening scene to the Pixar movie Up. So many emotions encapsulated throughout!
Mission Completed and Mission Failed: I really like the inclusion of stingers in your soundtrack! This would totally add to a “complete” category if that was included in the scoring.
Breezy: I really like the jazzy influences in this track. The guitar over the piano, bass, and kit gives me a lot of nostalgia for the type of music I would listen to with my dad when I was little. Excellent work on this track, this one is my favorite of all of them.
Steps: More jazz influence! There is some spring-like energy to this one that feels very good to listen to.
Picnic Waltz: I love the string melody and the piano countermelody. This feels quite classical and is very well-written in my opinion. Good job on this one!
Tension: I feel anxious listening to this! That makes this a perfect track for this moment in the gameplay since the music itself can elicit the emotions intended for the player to feel.
Time’s Theme: Time is not being a team player here. Fighting a stranger for a clock piece is a funny concept to think about, but you’ve convinced me in this piece that this is what has to be done!
Time’s End: Bringing back that sweet violin feels so good after the end of this entire work. You have done a good job conveying the sadness and bittersweet feeling that the main character feels knowing that his grandpa is not going to be around much longer.
Overall: What a beautiful story and equally beautiful OST that you both have created. Something like this being made by two people runs the risk of sounding disjointed, but the entire project felt smooth and connected, so props to you both! Great work and thank you for sharing!
