I've only done a couple of Game Jams to date and this is my first for composing. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I actually enjoyed  doing a little research about the musical instruments used during the Greco Roman time period and chose to write this composition using instruments basically from this time period , focusing on the lyre, flute, lute, trumpets, and drums.  At times I added strings for ambience and even layered an acoustic guitar with my lute, in addition to layering my flute with a more synthesized one to fill out the sounds

I also tried to build upon my melodies, intentionally avoiding using a more western style to do so.  It ended being a great exercise and challenge.  I hope you enjoy the piece.
