I really enjoyed the vibe between tracks, they mesh well into each other!  The mix is easy on the ears and I liked your approaches to sound design.  The callback to Viroth at the end of "Cy'pherion" was pretty cool, too.  Awesome job! 

Thanks for listening!  You know when other people were mentioning a tail I thought they meant reverb, but you're right there is a whole minute of silence in the end.  Not sure how that happened xD  I'm still learning the ins and outs of virtual orchestration and I'll definitely try for more realistic automation on my next track.

Thanks for the kind words!  I'll admit I did overuse reverb on some of the tracks, making some elements sound like they're in a different space from others.  Final Fantasy is one of my greatest inspirations, I'm glad you were able to feel that from listening!

Man, the rhythmic choices with that thumping bass on the third track were awesome!  Good stuff overall!  Definitely feeling the space vibes.

Awesome job for your first jam!  I thought the mix was pretty well balanced and I can definitely feel the lost and somber tones being conveyed here.

Very nicely done!  I liked your control of dynamics and panning choices here, and the mix is easy on the ears.

Listening to stuff like this makes me realize I still have a lot to learn.  Composing for ambience seems to be a whole different beast.  Very nicely done!

As someone who used Garageband before Logic, I can feel your pain about not having a lot of mixing/organization options.  I think you nailed the vibe of uneasiness here and your arrangement is nicely spaced out.  

It's a huge inspiration for me, thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening!  Yeah, in hindsight maybe I should've thrown in some vocals.  I was having trouble settling on instruments for the arrangement that I ran out of time in the end. 

Thanks for listening!  I agree the tail is a bit long; I tend to overdo it on my tracks and it's a habit I'm trying to break out of since it makes it harder to hear other instruments.  Any ideas for making my instruments sound less MIDI?  

The instruments are glued together so nicely, very easy on the ears!

Got OoT Shadow Temple vibes among other things from the first track, nicely done!  I like how you used panning to create space in this arrangement.  It's both harmonious and dissonant and yet fits so well together!

Love me a good Phrygian tune!  The modal interchange @ 2:53 was really cool; awesome arrangement overall!

I admire the dedication you put in to prepare for this.  I can tell from the first track alone how much it payed off in your compositions!  Sounds like this freak me out and are what keep me from playing survival horror games in the first place, so you definitely nailed that aspect. 

Love the delayed plucking sounds in the background, they sell the idea of a lost city well when mixed with the rest of the arrangement.  Instruments are nicely spaced out and compliment each other well, awesome job!

I'm getting Square Enix and .hack// vibes from this track, very nicely done!

Awesome control of the stereo space!  I also enjoyed how you sweep the panning of some of the instruments on the first track.

That modal interchange at 1:04 had me shouting at my screen, good stuff!  Very somber vibes, reminds of of this track from FFXIV

These are really cool ambiences!  This kind of music is difficult for me to compose, but definitely taking notes here if I ever decide to do another jam like this.

Fancy chord choices!  I enjoyed the sequence between :37-:45.  

Your tracks really groove, especially in "help me i think im lost"!  Overall, I think your tracks do well at capturing the feeling described in their titles.

Those lead synth lines were so crispy!  The song reminds me of some of the funk tracks from Maplestory.  

Very nicely done!  I got some PS1 rpg vibes listening to these tracks.  I enjoyed how the arrangement of "Purposeless Purpose" opened up with the large ensemble about a minute in.

I think you captured the theme perfectly here; really good job especially considering how soon you were able to put this out!

I'm a sucker for a good rhodes solo; it's a sound that I aspire to learn how to do myself.  Love your choice of instrumentation overall, it really landed that smooth and nostalgic feel!

Really appreciate the support I've received from everyone here, thanks for listening!
