Submission Description
I went with the same format as the Stages of Empire paintings jam a few months back on Itch, but this time with a Cosmic Exploration bent and with the Thai game jam by Lonerabbit in my rear view mirror i remembered to have some kind of a space battle in the second-to-last track. So it's empire formation, expansion, height, then a challenge, then a happy ending. I did the chaconne and the solo instrument challenges but not the odd-time challenge. Two of the pieces have crisp instruments but i regret belatedly that the other 3 pieces' synth instruments have some sustain-bleed for most of their length. Just how it goes when you're partly a day-job worker :)

This was a very fun listen! I like how the intros use variations of the same motif, it really ties the album together.

Glad you had a good time of it!

Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

Cheers!

I really like this! It's very creative and interesting.  I fell like you mastered the theme well and added your own unique style to it.

Thanks so much!  Sorry if this note is delayed they may still have a hold on my comments itch-wide for some reason.

Glad you gave it a listen.

Cheers!
