I really dig the 2nd jam, those layers of different string styles and your bouncy melodies painted a great scene in my mind of setting out on an ocean adventure. Overall I think all 3 melodies do a good job of providing different emotional contexts for the same sailing-adventure theme. Nice work dude

As a piano player, its refreshing to hear more piano riffs in these entries! This is really beautiful and I love how you play with dissonance, the piano is both beautiful and haunting. I think tracks 1 and 2 might need a little more to differentiate them from each other, but the melody throughout is great
I just got around to listening to your OST, and I think the midi sounds and effects you picked are perfect. I could hear those sounds in Mario 64 or other games around that 90's era of gaming. I also think the name Rixlor is a great name and gives me that 80's vibe haha. I think a lot of the songs are a little busy though, like if you stripped back some of the melodies or simplified some of them, you could give the songs a lot more room to breathe and maybe sit in the background more if that makes sense? Either way, I think you nail the tone very well \m/ \m/
Right on dude! I checked out your jams, I'm a big fan of Home Sour Home, and City Streets especially gives me a Cowboy Bebop vibe that I really dig. I like the variety of songs and gives me the liminal feel that your game would explore drastically different environments through a single playthrough. Anyways, thanks again for checking out my songs \m/ \m/
The imaginary game for this imaginary OST is called Irish Goodbye, a surreal narrative-driven walking simulator where a man is lulled into a primeval forest to defeat and assimilate 3 different symbols of his inner self: a creature of malice and violence, a woman of terrible and destructive beauty, and finally, a child that can never grow old.
The melodies generally represent the themes of setting off on adventure (Tavern Bardsong), being enraptured with the initial thrill of the unknown (Liminal Spring), a transition into meditative and transformative sadness after encountering the destructive and magical brutality of the forest (Irish Goodbye Epilogue), and finally a song of triumph as the man emerges out of the primeval forest as a fully integrated whole (Light of Hope)
I think this playlist would benefit from more melancholy melodies / sad themes to convey more struggle throughout this imaginary narrative, but this is a taste of an idea that could be.
I hope you enjoy!
