Thanks! :)

Thanks! Mario Kart OSTs have always been a big influence for me :)

Thanks! :)

Absolutely love these tracks. The section at 1:34 in Fight In The Summer Heat is so cool. Love the sudden cuts and timbre changes. Really great stuff!

Absolutely beautiful compositions. Lots of dynamics and subtlety with great production to boot. How you managed to make all of these in just two days is beyond me. Fantastic job!

It's amazing you were able to get all this done in just 10 days. You'd think compromises would have to be made with this many songs, however, each track feels like it has the same amount of care put into it. I also really appreciate the amount of depth you put into the story behind each song. Really impressive submission. Great job!

I really like the vibe of these pieces! They would go well with an art style similar to that of Link's Awakening remake.

Wow, these made me feel like I just got punched in the face... in the best way possible! I am not super well versed in this side (or really any side) of EDM but I can tell this production is great. It's not easy to have a mix this in your face while still maintaining good dynamics, but you managed to do it. Great job!

Really great, chill tracks! They capture the vibe of a coffee shop perfectly. Also great choice to use CR-78 drums on Birdsong Morning.

I had to put on a jacket after listening to this. Loved the bit-crushed beginning and ending (or is it ring mod?). Great job nonetheless!

Really great tracks and a lot of 'em. My favorite is Raining. The e. piano is very dire, dire docks-esque and I love the syncopated hits in the B-section.

Really fantastic stuff. I don't even know where to start.. from the composition to the production, it's all executed flawlessly. The sample at the start of Rogue was a nice little detail also.

Beautiful compositions and production. You made the blend of orchestral and synthetic instruments feel incredibly natural. I can already tell that the main leitmotif is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Great job!

Thank you! Funny you bring up King Crimson. They were one of the bands I was referencing for that really tight, almost lifeless late 60s- 70s snare tone but I really didn't end up getting that close. In terms of the time signature, I wrote the bass part first and it just happened to be in 7/4 (or more accurately 4/4 + 3/4 (or even 8 + 6 as you said)) and then 7/8 for the B section. I find when you write music that just so happens to be in an odd time signature, it tends to work out better than music written in an odd time signature just for the sake of it (although I do in fact do this sometimes).

Boreas: Amazing textures! I never knew where the piece was going and I loved every second of it. The build to the climax is really satisfying. It's surprisingly hard to make good-sounding drones like this. Great job!

Notus: The ambient sound effects provide a great bridge between the first track and this one. Love the progression and guitar work. I got some nice Radiohead vibes from it. This track also has a great climax.

Great submission overall!

I'm a huge Casiopea fan so this is an amazing compliment! Thank you :')

Wow, I was not expecting a full album, but I'm not complaining! Love the vibe of all of these tracks. Lots of variety with some dark overtones that hold everything together. I can hear how your favorite composers influenced you, however, these tracks are very much unique and your own. My only complaint is that there is no real game to go along with this OST! Fantastic work!

That was definitely the most fun track to make. I wanted to have a least a little slap bass in my submission and created this song to justify adding some.

So many absolutely beautiful textures throughout all of these pieces. Each season is captured so well. I love the repeating yet changing motifs on Spring - Gakkō Ni Modoru. That track tells an entire story on its own.

Thanks! I really tried to branch out with this jam, but I will always be a prog rock guy at heart :)

Really great sounding tracks. The timbre of each instrument is so incredible and rich. I especially love the guitar part on Climb the Mountain. Each note is unexpected yet perfect.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Great tracks! Love the variety and blend of different textures. Overall, really creative compositions with lots of pleasantly surprising elements!

Thank you!! I actually really struggled with recording my classical guitar because my laptop fan is really loud. Luckily, Audacity's noise reduction feature saved the day.

I absolutely love all of these tracks! Lots of beautiful subtlety, even in the most frantic moments of Tenebra Eternalis. I can tell you put a lot of time into the automation of your orchestral parts. Fantastic production throughout also!

Thanks so much! I try to ride the line between chaos and cohesion :)
