Really liked the live guitar work in coolgreenapple's track this week.

I enjoyed the overall composition and structure of RSK's track. Great instrument choice also.

Xanthos really rocked it with good development and huge evolving soundscape. Lots of big sounds. I'd consider ways to modulate the sounds to make them more interesting as they play out, and ways to mix them to keep emphasis on the lead instruments throughout. Good work. Come back next time!

RSK was dead on target. GreyHooves had a great melodic and harmonic connection to the theme, and coloradoweeks had the solitude movie in mind.

Misael put together a terrific fusion of classical and chiptune-ish electronic sounds. Really captured the solo vibe, reminded me of a couple video games with a very solitary theme. Koekepan gave that "alone in a cabin" vibe with some great guitar work. Very calming. Daisu did great with a lonely, peaceful anime-style composition.

Xanthos: Great atmosphere and a lot of content for such a short amount of time!

Koekepan: The vibes are so strong. This was a fantastic choice for this theme.

coolgreenapple: The composition, mixing, and all is wonderful. If this were fixed up a little and maybe with a lead, I would probably be playing this on repeat everywhere I went!

RSK: Wow. That ocarina lead. + I always love the vibes and composition of your music!

Other entries I really enjoyed: GreyHooves, Misael.K, and coloradoweeks!

RSK: Great composition, great instrumentation, I really liked the asian aesthetic

coolgreenapple: This makes me think of Silent Hill, which I think is pretty apt for the theme.

Daisu64: Very nice use of the motif from Dearly Beloved, and a great piece on it's own as well

daisu64: pure loveliness, amazing entry! There's a magical quality to this that I absolutely love.

Random-storykeeper: Great use of minimalism. Reminds me of Chrono Trigger at times. The pads / strings in the background are just perfect.

Xanthos: a very impressive entry, with a lot of variety, good mixing and good sounds. Keep it up!

1) "Exploring Old Memories" - Why do I get dusty western vibes from this...like ghost town, saloon music... But hey, that's exactly the reason why I love this. The ambient noise in the background works well with the music, and I adore the emotional appeal overall.

2) "Redshift Drifter" - A creative approach to the theme, but also very nice atmosphere and sounds throughout.

3) "Dearly" - Made me feel sadder to be alone with no one to love ;( ;( :( . Super pretty work.
