I do like that you highlighted the whole "background music" thing. I wanted to write something that wouldn't distract from what was happening in the hypothetical game. Thanks for the kind words!

I think the best word to describe this is "evocative". This is an expertly crafted set of tracks that captures the dream feeling perfectly. I like that these tracks have a sort of creeping, cautious tone to them. It's refreshing to hear music that doesn't feel like it's constantly boasting about how great it is. Great stuff, 5 stars across the board.
Really digging the slower, more subdued style of this. The instrumentation oddly reminds me of Minecraft, but that's probably just because of how much time I've spent playing that.
I think my only real "problem" with this is that the bass on Postcards doesn't stick out very well, but that's a mixing issue more than anything. Composition-wise this is excellent.
Oh man, this is good. Reminds me a bit of Erik Satie's compositions (Gymnopédie No. 1 comes to mind). I quite like the section around 1 minute in, where the track moves up to an even lonelier tone. Actually kinda reminds me of the composition of the Disney intro, which is absolutely a good thing.
This is very well composed, and its quite refreshing to hear a submission that's just solo piano. Great stuff!
This is...something else. It's very avantgarde and kinda...raw as hell. There's a LOT of clipping, especially in Uoyetahi, which you can eliminate with something like LoudMax.
Still though, there's potential in this wacky borderline-black-midi style you've got going on. I can imagine this in some kinda esoteric Finnish FPS game. Think Cruelty Squad, but way weirder.
Keep it up.
This has an excellent style, definitely delivers the underwater vibe. Sounds wet and...schlorpy? Obviously, that's not a word, but I think it gets my point across. I do think the sample in the first track could have been mixed in a little better. It's placed well but it's a bit loud in the mix, could benefit from something like Soundly Place It to give it some space.
Overall though, great stuff!
This soundtrack has a weird, off-kilter vibe that I very much vibe with. It's strange and uncomfortable in the best way.
The instrumentation is somewhere between Minecraft and Ecco The Dolphin, which I like quite a bit.
There were a few moments where I noticed some clipping, which isn't great, but it isn't super frequent. I'd recommend throwing a limiter like LoudMax on your master to prevent it.
Overall great vibe, love it.
