What a composition! The strings and percussion particularly held so much power and energy! Absolutely fantastic job at crafting such an emotional, beautiful song with so much character and untold story.  (The Miro Board was a great read and reference for your thoughts, thanks for sharing!)

In the Middle of Bubbles has got to be my most favorite incorporation of the underwater fantasy theme. I can't get over how well its instruments gave off the eeriness, largeness, and beauty of an underwater world. Bells are a wonderful instrument and the first entrance of the piano really shook me deep :). I'm cheering for your protagonist to find her answers!! 

It's been said many times – and rightfully so – but Angler's Den is such a BANGER! All are amazing, but gosh dang do I love such powerful and evocative music!

I remember hearing "My Imagination Rules" the first time you shared it! Definitely a massive favorite of mine, with the energy and power it holds. Fantastic job with how cohesive your music is!!

I have absolutely fallen for A Peaceful Place. It's so evocative with how you lean into the melody so uniquely with your instrument choice and volume control. Your songs definitely inspire me to better learn how to incorporate strings in my music. They're such powerful instruments, especially when used so knowledgeably. Your expertise and passion definitely shows. I'm *counting* on this making it to the eventual Apple Music album so I can enjoy it even more often while riding the train :). 

Aww the pleasure is all mine :)! Gives me tremendous happiness that my OSTs came across as I had hoped!

That's really great feedback, thank you! Melody has always been a main focus of mine as I too love having something to hum and whistle too :D. Juggling instruments for the melody has been quite fun, but there are definitely more strategies I can take to improve that shift of what holds and spices the melody. Maybe adding new repeating elements in the background with brand new instruments alongside the shift of the melody's main instruments would be the way to go?

Oh!! I can definitely imagine that now! Flying Fishies over like the spring festival would be so fitting! Thank you for the fantastic compliment :D

Ahhhhh thank you so much ^//u//^. I will gratefully accept your praise and instruction to keep going! I hope I can make more music that you and others will like :)

Greatly appreciated :). Writing is quite fun and being able to take that and focus it into music is truly wonderful. It'd be delightful to channel it all into a real game (or even incorporate it into a D&D campaign, haha!)

Thanks! I'm happy it came off that way as it was definitely an objective of mine when I first started writing it ^^

Much much thanks!! It makes me excited to know my music can give off Animal Crossing vibes, I love that game!! Throwing the melody around has definitely been a fun strategy that really made composing even more exciting for me :). Hmm, mixing. Gotcha! That definitely makes sense, as I've got a lot to learn regarding mixing! Thank you for the tip :)

Hoi! Ahh what kind compliments, thank you! It's a great feeling knowing that my music comes off that way, even though I'm definitely new to the scene. ^^

YEAHH!!!! CUBASISTS UNITE!

Thank you! I've only gotten to work with synths somewhat recently, so it's great that they came off pleasant :)

Much much appreciated ^^. Such a wonderful plugin to work with, and it was definitely no exception for this jam!

Inside Your World and Behold the Nightmare are absolutely phenomenal! We need someone to throw them into a game already! I love the instrument choice and how well you blended them together. Forms a really solid vibe/theme for each of the tracks. ~ From a fellow Cubase enthusiast

Wow, all of the songs you put together are so evocative! The Last Dream, The Miracle, and Limbo are absolutely amazing listens. Big big props!

I mean, just phenomenal! I remember taking a listen of some of what you shared in the discord and thinking how great your submission was gonna be. You definitely delivered, especially to a fellow Toby Fox enthusiast <3

The continuity, instrument choice, and storytelling!! *Chef's Kiss*

My personal favorites are the Title Track (June's Theme), Wake Up June!, The Festival, and An Almost Answered Prayer (ofc Inside My Mind too, but I can't just say all of them, haha!)

Much thanks @Laeons! Flying Fishies is a personal favorite of mine, so it is great motivation that someone else found it enjoyable :)
