Yeah, don't force yourself in doing all levels, if you feel like you can do it, then do it, but if you struggle (like I did) choose a lower level, but with a higher freedom to compose so the result will be more of what you had in mind !

Thanks ! Yeah, I'm using Musescore 4.6 (not the latest version, because I prefer the 4.6 version), the soundfonts used are made by MuseHub and they are free on Musescore, that's why I'm using it. I've always preferred writing scores than doing on Ableton or FL Studio... as you said, we really have to think about each measures, each bar... I'm still working a "final final" version of this song so I could use it for a future game !
Thanks, I love having your feedback and it's sad that you can't participate, I was looking forward for yours.
As I struggled to find the idea for this jam, I didn't know how to break the 1 min loop, I tried to break the monotony by adding the harmonica, but as you said, a section in between would have been better, especially when the music is already energetic and has all the leitmotivs that has been played, there's plenty of room to add another part. I think I'll do this, I have a game idea in mind and I think that this music can fit well with some improvements ! Thanks again for your feedback !
Nice concept ! I don't think it fits the theme, but using notes and a score to implement the limitation was nice idea ! Maybe using better quality sounds for the note and letting the player playing real music and not just a sample with a few notes would have been funnier, but it was a great concept !
Wow, when I saw your name I was wondering where I have seen that name before and now I remember ! I was astonished by your work on Dragons Legends of the Nine Realms, I even did a piano arrangement of the main theme 2 years ago so seeing you there was a great surprise xD.
Well, easily my first favourite in this jam, the musics are gorgeous, really professional, unique, it has a great atmosphere and I love those flutes, it is as beautiful as the Irish Flute you used in the Nine Realms.
Prologue :
I love the strings, the harp and the reverb, it adds more magic and it gives me Ori vibes and from 00:42 to 00:48 is incredible that crescendo with the flute, the strings then it softens, really smooth !
Main Menu :
I really love the flutes in staccato and the bits at 00:26 where the strings come suddenly. If you could tell how do we name this technique I would be pleased !
Exploration :
I'm fond of the part at 00:10 that comes suddenly. The flutes are still awesome, and then it transitions very well to a splendid melody, then the way you repeat the part from 00:10 at 00:22, multiple times throughout the song makes it more alive, it catches our ear and never bore us.
Intensity :
Well it's in its name, the intensity is well done. I love the strings at the beginning, I don't know if it's named spiccato, but I love this technique, it's always beautiful when it's well done. I like the flutes and the drums after that, it gives the sensation of a threat in a foreign world. I like the part at 00:50 the violins really increase the intensity. The climax after this is gorgeous with that flute.
Closing :
Great atmosphere, great ambiance, it's a nice closing to these 5 tracks.
That was I think my favourite of this jam, it's one of those musics I keep in my files to listen to it from times to times. The one I enjoyed the most is "Exploration". I love your work, keep going !
I think the story is really well told by your music, it is rich and has a great atmosphere and style ! It reminds me of games I could play on a Gamecube. I'm fond of the bells, they're strong, menacing, for example at "As A Bell Tolls..." at 0:18, the bells alone after Harpsichord soft solo really set the mood of the Citadel and at "... The Citadel Beckons", we're already in the music with those bells.
Great work !
I had to wait before finally listening to your tracks, I knew it would be great as it was made by you ! Love the concert atmosphere, it's really well done ! It's unique, bizarre in a good way, it feels like a lost media. I like the modifier in the voice, adds some immersion. The instruments sound great.
I especially love "Kige-Jhinca" and the piano. At 11:24, I like the low notes and it feels like a boss fight where you have to wait to dodge an attack xD, the intensity is well done. At 11:40, I like the drums there, it makes a little pause before starting the climax, I like the hand claps I think or the percussion that sounds like it. Was also a good idea to tuned the whole music.
Great job as always !

Beautiful ! It was really nice to listen to it ! "To Fly Someday..." is my favourite, the piano reminds me sometimes of Zelda Breath of the Wild, especially from 0:49 to the end. The atmosphere and the ambiance is great and each track fills its purpose (also "Chamber of Secrets" reminds me a little of Mech Mice, an old browser game which had good environment !).
Well done ! I feel like it could be in a game like Ori, the ambiance is well mastered, love the instruments used there.
My favourite track is Ancient Pathways, it suits well the traveling music and I love the harp and the trills on the strings. Love the notes on the flute 1:08, I'm fond of these things, it adds life like wind howling, insects flying, water flowing...
Great job !
