The track Where all Beginnings end is so charming when it comes to the sound design and choices you've made it's great. Definitely something that could fit well in an introduction!

Layer by Layer gives me huge Minecraft vibes it's like a mix between Dead Voxel + Ballad of the Cats + Shuniji (Basically Nether + Ocean vibes) and it's absolutely stunning!

I'm a huge fan of music of this ambience so it's so satisfying and could work fantastically when paired with basically any environment related to dreams, space, ocean, or other otherworldly concepts.

Yeah, I didn't want the transition to be too jarring because in a metroidvania video game concept with an underwater-like atmosphere, it wouldn't make much sense.

Thank you though!! (─‿─)

Thank you! I definitely would have made more tracks if I had more time (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Same with you, thank you!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you feel the connection to the theme! ꒰ · ◡ · ꒱

I definitely wasn't expecting to see any a song with so much emphasis on the rock/metal genre as this song does for this theme but it's nice!

I love the vocals on My Happy Place it's very satisfying to listen to when paired with the instrumentals and definitely feels like what would be the internal monologues a child under trauma may be telling themselves to escape from reality.

As someone who experienced trauma as a young child I can safely say that this is such an emotional piece of art, not to mention the other tracks which are just as beautiful and fit the theme with such a impressive ambience such as the heavy breathing in The Princess and the Dragon along with a ton of other stuff I can't even get to.

Well done! :D

The pair between the harp and piano sounds so beautiful in the introduction as well as the violin later on with the flute!

The track sounds very spicy in some moments of the song with what feels like such a tragic and twisted atmosphere.

Also so far I haven't seen use of a timpani in any other songs so it's good to finally hear one since it's a very impactful percussion instrument especially in buildups! Well done!

I was going for that underwater like ambience and I am very glad you enjoyed it!

That's so sweet thank you very much! Also I've started getting into classical music recently but not as much as I probably should since it's very nice to really absorb it like you said. I'll most likely listen in more frequently once I start studying for AP chemistry this upcoming school year.

Thank you so much for the advice! 

I'll definitely be keeping that in mind whenever I'm composing in the future and I might make personal adjustments to see what that would be like.

Composing Jams are also very fun as well so I'll definitely be participating more in the foreseeable future, and next time not as late :,D

I love this! The buildup is so good and the instruments go so hard!

It's sad that such a wonderful work of art like this wasn't able to make it...

The mix between synths and the piano in the title and introduction is just so mesmerizing!

A Strange World is very nice as well with it's synth which sort of reminds me or more retro genres.

A Special World feels like it was made for well... a special moment in this world you've build as if it's something supernatural (in a good way).

This is truly such a wonderful work of art.

Man this is just so beautiful, the vocals, the instrumentals, and composition, it's just so fine.

I also really appreciate how you mentioned, "to capture the beauty of the ocean and it's life, while acknowledging the dangers of the deep" because I could really feel that being portrayed with the contrasting melodies you used and mixed together going from something with a more elegant tone to a darker and more sinister tone.

Also the music video is just great what can I say...

I love how the track Child of Love ties back to the track of Aiko's Theme by using similar instrumentation and melodic structure.

Also the ambience of The Depths is very nice, I love the effects the dripstones give off!

Sounds about right lmao

The reverberation of the main melody alongside the accompaniment in the track Wist makes the world you created feel so vast and captivating even with it's simplicity. I love it!

Drifting deeper is so mysterious as the name suggests and the feeling it gives of is otherworldly.

Something I've noticed is that there is a large focus of the bass sometimes parts of the tracks, building what seems to be either a more upbeat experience, or a more strange and mysterious one.

Also Temple in the Mind is such a vibe! It's got the groove.

I love the flute that is used in both tracks especially in the fountain.

Also it reminds me of The Legend of Zelda : The Wind Waker in a way.

I love the use of panning in this and can definitely see this representing the picture theme very well with the instrumental choices you made!

Also the vocals in Arise are wonderfully accompanied in such a soft motion.

Alongside that, the distance given to the percussion is so satisfying :D

Arise and In game are my favorite but they are all really nice!

You're right it does sound like that track! Thank you.
