i would like to say i did some crazy complicated technique for the texture but i just used a mixture of some pads/synths from spitfire LABS :') i believe the primary one that gives it some texture is the "arctic swells" plugin pack-- it uses a blend of violin and a native american flute.
thank you for the feedback on the organ piece! it's def the track that i regret the most in regards to its lack of polishing. i kept trying to balance things in a way that sounded good but alas i am an amateur and didn't have enough time :( i honestly was struggling for most of the jam just to even write the actual song, so proper mixing was really far off for me. its something i genuinely don't know much about and am hoping to learn a little bit more about, at least at a rudimentary level so i can do better in the next jam :)
i honestly really appreciate constructive criticism because 1. it shows you actually did listen to my pieces and formed your own thoughts about it 2. criticism is just as, if not more valuable than compliments in helping me refine my techniques as a composer <3
