Great composition! You're really talented at writing very calming piano parts

As other have said, good instrument choices. I really like how the instruments melody lines counteract each other without feeling overcrowded. Great work!

I love the dragon animation! Very cool funky vibe mixed in with the orchestral elements like the flutes. Great job!

Thank you! We both used Logic Pro, for my tracks I did a lot of dividing everything into sections (White Dragon Crossroads in particular) one of which being a slap/thump bass section because I've been dying to record slap bass for a project. I normally do more ambient and orchestral stuff so there isn't much opportunity for that kinda stuff haha. We both have been working together on a lot of music projects pretty much since we both started making music, the collaboration aspect of Azure Drift was pretty simple we came up with the game idea together then we each worked mostly independently setting out to make two tracks based around that idea  sharing our progress along the way so we didn't go to far off stylistic-wise.

Very cool chiptune vibe! Sound choices are great

Thanks! it was a lot of fun to record

Can definitely hear the Risk of Rain 2 influence. The synth choices are great!

I love the texture of the sounds, everything sounds crunchy in such a nice way. Great job!

Really beautifully composed. Flutes fit in perfectly. Great job!

Super chill and minimalist I love it! The wind recording is a nice touch

I love this vibe, the instruments work really well together. It would be awesome if you were to continue this idea and polish it up more!

Really good sample instrument choices! Never heard of the Hirajoshi scale before, sounds great!

I dig the flutes, super groovy!

Thank you! I use Logic Pro

Thank you! These are very kind words, I’m glad you like it! Thank you for listening

This is very well done! I find that (at least for me) chiptunes are easy to get sounding generic. you do a good job of mixing in other ideas like the reversed piano in the third track, the old sounding piano in the sixth track (I think this one might be my favorite track, I love the vibe), and the chimes that pitch down in the last track. This was fun to listen to, great job!

Thank you! I never know when people look at screenshots so I always try and leave interesting things in there on the off chance someone does haha (I'm also just bad at coming up with names)

Thank you! I've never heard of Into the Radius before, looking at some images online the antigravity stuff looks VERY cool. Might have to check it out one day.

Thank you!

Thank you! This means a lot to me. You pretty much nailed my intents behind elements in the soundtrack, Low bass growls representing the Eye of Time/creation of the protector, optimism, female choir for the witch, glockenspiel for jewels, etc.. I am flattered you believe this deserves all fives, I worked really hard on this but even after submitting I wasn't very confident on how many of my ideas landed, I am very grateful. Thank you for listening!

Thank you! Yes I did get the lemons haha, I had to drive back to get them though....

Thank you! Yeah Kevin Penkin was a big influence for this. I've been thinking about Made in Abyss and it's OST a lot lately so it definitely worked it's way in there.

I wasn't intentionally copying the Juroimoh Mutation synth but now that I think about it there definitely is some resemblance haha. I used Phase Plant (could probably send you the patch if you want it) and some external effects for more distortion. It's a saw wave then outside of the envelope in the generator section there's three oscillators being used for FM. A saw wave, a square wave, then another saw wave. These three oscillators are all pitched down -60 semitones and FMing each other in order before FMing the main saw wave that makes sound. Attack is 1.7 seconds, release is 389ms. Polyphony is set to 1, glide to 66ms and legato. There's a nonlinear filter (digital setting) cutoff at 879hz, Q at 1, drive at 85%. This filter is being modulated by an envelope that's roughly following the main envelope in the generator section. Then there's a notch filter at 620hz gain at 2db following the same envelope as the previous filter. Three random modulators are changing the volume of the three silent oscillators used for FM make sure they're different speeds for a more organic effect. There's a distortion in the patch but I used two instances of Rift by Minimal Audio to get the distortion sound. For external effects I used a formant filter that's using an lfo to move around vowels (I used The Orb by Audio thing but you could also use the formant filter snapin) it makes it sound more vocal especially with the distortion added. Then there's the first instance of Rift that's distorting use growl and teeth distortion modes and adding a little bit of delay that's having it's delay time and spread modulated a little bit by separate lfos, the mix is 18% , feedback is 0%, so it's not a lot. Then there's a very small bit of bitcrusher at ~3% mix. Then there's another instance of Rift with an edited Toasted Circuit preset (it's adding more distortion/waveshaping and some additional fast delay ~30ms). Then there's an eq to cut out low frequencies and tame the high end.

Thanks for listening! I hope the description of the synth isn't too nonsensical, I'm writing this very late at night haha

This was really fun to listen to! I think my favorite track was Alarm Clock Type Beat, it feels cool, melancholic, and hype. Love the beat and the siren. Great job!

This is great! I love the horror vibe you've created and the story behind the cult classic is killer! I want to play this game haha

Thank you! I'll be sure to tell him you liked his art

Love the break beats in the third track. It reminds me a lot of the Wonder Egg Priority OST, there's a few crazy amen break tracks. The atmosphere in the first track is great. Good job with this!

Thank you!

This means a lot to me! My submission to the runaway jam is probably one of if not the work I am the most proud of, I'm glad you think highly of it and my submission for this jam. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen!

Thank you!

Thank you! I put a lot of work into the sound design for this one, particularly getting it to mesh with the orchestral elements. Thanks for listening!

Thank you! I went in to this jam wanting to experiment with more sound design+orchestral combos both with synths and sfx. I'm glad you liked it!

The master returns

I love shrimp prince

Really cool synthy aesthetic. I really like the bell tower type bells in Time Goes Slower

Love the aesthetic of this submission! The sound palette is so good. Playing with time is my favorite track

Absolutely beautiful. You've crafted a great atmosphere. Amazing work as always!

The synths you use sound heavenly, I love how bubbly they are. Great use of time modulation as well, great job!

Great composition skills as always. The sfx were a very nice touch. Great work! My favorite track is The Perpetual Pendulum of the Moonlit Tower, there's something so melancholic but hopeful about it.

Phase Plant! This is great, the way the first track builds is sublime. And man the atmosphere in The Fountain of Youth is to die for. This is something to be very proud of.

Wow this is super oppressive, the beat switch up at 2:00 is sooo sick. The way the time signature keeps changing is awesome. Great job!
