quite honestly your work in every single jam is so fucking good i will be so surprised if you aren't a fully established professional game/film composer in like 5 years. i just love the soundscapes you're able to create so much and i'm so inspired by & envious of the textural elements necessary to make pieces like this lol

Description
This piece was composed in Logic Pro X. I really wanted to branch out and do more experimentation with sound manipulation so I stretched out a bunch of sounds, added a bunch of granular delays, reverbs, tremolos, and distortions and combined it with some orchestral sounds.
I hope you enjoy my weird experiment!
Covert is made by me by overlaying and editing some of my film photography

I enjoyed your weird experiment :D it has a very cinematic feel to it, and while it could be considered creepy, it sounds surprisingly positive to me. Good stuff :D
...How did you make this cover art? Honestly, this is my favorite cover art of this jam!
At first: the unforgettable atmosphere of the great cosmic horror, which is more powerful than the entire army of mankind ...
Great work with effects!
Thank you! I do a lot of film photography, it's just a hobby of mine, so was looking though my photo folder to find stuff to splice together. The background photo is a mountain range near my college and the second photo is a photo I took of some roots, I cut out just the roots out of the second photo and messed around with Photoshop's FX/blending options and overlayed it over the first photo, then I did similar stuff to the first photo to make it discolored. Sorry if that's a poor explanation, I don't really know how to use Photoshop I just moved a bunch of sliders and picked random colors lol
Just wow.
Awesome, totally awesome stuff. I love all the wild timbres and pitch shifting. It gives this eerie sense of space, but with such a strong vibe.
Phenomenal work.
Wow! So eerily beautiful piece. Loving the sound design here, and the story presented with that horrifying beginning giving way to the amazing strings crescendo from 1:11 and the peaceful ending. Amazing work!
Man you always blow me away, the texture that the strings add especially just create such a strong sense of tension and wonder, i could see this as like epic trailer music for a big game, like maybe if TOTK started a trailer with the depths or sm. Excellent work as always
Its weird in a good way=) Great atmosphere, textures and combinations! Overall picture is full and interesting)
As I mentioned in my reply to your comment, I've always been amazed by the sound design you manage to do do for jams.
The crescendo with the trilling strings at 1:00 was beautiful, gave a really powerful feeling.
Oddly enough that build-up also gave me the feeling that it could be a cool intro to a drum and bass track.
Stellar stuff!
Nice sound design creation, very unique stuff. And very scary if that it was you are going for. I bet Paulxstretch was useful in this one.
Don't usually hear these fx/tremolos in longer form, really cool! 1:00+ progression's just beautiful.
Amazing sound design as always. Really cool effect around 0:45-1:00. Love the string trills over the huge soundscape. Love that crisp ending (for lack of a better word). Great work!
