I like the blissful mood at the beginning and the video game flavor. The brass instruments sound pretty fake, though, and at times I wanted the drums to be stronger in the mix. The piece has a pretty constant sense of energy and drive, and could use some more structural variety in the form of an atmospheric section or extended breakdown. I like the melodic content here, although sometimes the overarching compositional content feels a bit directionless, with each melodic phrase just sort of bleeding into the next. I also would’ve liked to hear a more creative ending than a fade-out, even if the content is meant to loop in-game. Overall, I like the mood, harmonic content, and rich texture of the piece. I think the arrangement and the sound design could use a tad more work, though. Keep at it, Pheanir! :)

super well-composed stuff! can definitely hear big touhou influence in this one, and it's got such a great mood and even though the sounds here aren't of the highest quality, they fit the style of the song super well imo

definitely didn't expect to hear something like this when going through ngadm tracks this year. good job and good luck!

would ott some stuff or something idk. nice comp tho, you just have to improve your mixing

It's lovely. <3
Always a great composition.
