I like the sinister and spooky atmosphere. Good job!

You did an AMAZING job on your first jam! Thanks for your submission! I like the Soundfont-y vibe, particularly the drums and percussive elements. The motif in "Pixel Palace" reminds me of something I just didn't know what it was lol. "Cat Of Great Fortune And Vision" is my favorite.
Overall good work! That was fun to listen to *_*
Thanks! I'm glad you found it enjoyable! yes the B section in Uroboros Unbound has an A natural in it, which I found to be interesting because the Phrygian Dominant and natural minor share the same upper tetrachord (which in the Hijaz maqam it's the Nihavend jins (starting the 4th degree) in Middle Eastern scale nomenclature), I don't know much about how modulation is carried out in this kind of music but I essentially moved the lower tetrachord (C Db E F, also called Jins Hijaz, the characteristic nodes of the scale so to speak) to start on the E key, the 3rd degree of the scale.
My knowledge of Middle Eastern music is quite limited, I hope it provides some insight nonetheless! ^*^
The sound design and granular effects are super cool... interesting harmonic choices too (was it a bVI bVII I in the aggressive synths section?). The tempo changes are so well carried out. 2:27 section felt so resolute (the modulation was smooth), so did 3:46, anticipating the bVII I cadence (was it a D#m to E/B to F#/C#? I liked it a lot but didn't know what it was).
This is probably one of the most creative pieces I've heard so far, I've also happen to have watched the Jacob Collier livestream on the "Shepard Grooves" (Risset Rhythms) that's an interest concept in rhythm as opposed to pitch and I'm really amazed to see it being actively used.
This is a masterpiece. Well done! OwO
The combination of synthwave and chiptune, everything feels fresh and unique! Syncopation Synthesis has some interesting chord changes, and incorporating the natural 7th in the melody (a cadence in harmonic minor?). I like how Echoes of Invention builds up near the end, just like Accidents Happen did, which is a perfect introductory piece, and Dance of Forgetfulness which (to me sounded like a 1 b2 (A to Bb?) has some cool playful melodies. Then Pendulum Variations which introduces the same arpeggio, and melody from Syncopation Synthesis, with a reverse effect, and gets more sinister and really fits in with the description of oscillating back and forth. And Remember To Reflect is a bop.
This is some really good stuff! I enjoyed listening to it... and um please excuse my messy descriptions I was just stating my thought processes.
I also read the story, and was imagining how the puzzles would look like. Coming up with such an interesting plot isn't an easy task. Good job!~~
Bopping to the 7/8 time signature and the interesting rhythm and the "Bap Bap" with the panning effect in 7 step skyline. Reaching the End has that ambient feel, I like it. Moving in Reverse, the 4 against 3 polyrhythm with the panning and echo, along with the eerily comforting swelling effect, 3/4 drums to top it off made for a good ending to an overall melancholic piece.
Good job!
OMG I got the super sweet ending (I wonder what other endings it might have U^U) and I like it! It was really fun and light-hearted!
I don't know how I ended up here but I came from the OST Composing Jam #6 haha!
The soundtrack is fun to listen to! I like the concept of heartbeats. The Nintendo DS in the album cover brings so many memories, and yes I struggled to finish most games I'd played, so that's super relatable. o(><;)oo
I'm glad you ended up taking part in this jam and it's surprisingly good for soundtrack made in a day!
