Description
This soundtrack was inspired by the Theme and Image based on the idea of The Death Knight. I decided to make a soundtrack for a fictional game where you would have to fight the Death Knight as a challenge in order to convience him and continue living, that's why i thought of the name Resilient. I felt inspired by the idea of fighting for a life worth living by overcoming challenges. So the soundtrack consists in a Menu Screen track, an Ambience track and a Boss fight track.

Musically i felt very inspired by the soundtracks of Okami, Diablo and Cult of the Lamb, because of their kind of mystical/esoterical, dark and ambient/folky music.

I composed and produced this 3 tracks in Ableton Live using Spitfire's LABS, Trillian, XO and Action Strikes.

I like that you took a more unique take here with the somewhat east Asian vibe.

I think from an execution perspective, whatever the plucked VST instrument you were using, I'd like it to sometimes be softer. This can be tough to pull off, but I think the composition of it was good. That said, I really like that you have a great sense of space/reverb, where some things are in the foreground and some more in the background.

Really cool last track. It has a solid vibe. It feels like the little drum is maybe a little dry and undermixed, though I feel like I can see what you're going for with it.

It's a cool entry overall, definitely more unexpected - and in a good way!

Great work and thank you for your entry! :)

Meditations makes good use of melodic counterpoint and echoes to create a nice sense of space. I like the dissonance in Journeys, creates a nice bit of tension. As for Resilient, I like that you went for a drum and bass song for a boss theme, but aside from the two fade outs I found the song a little bit too repetitive and personally I would've preferred the melody assert itself more.

Really dig the grainy delay stuff on the moon guitar in the first track.

Nice one!

I envisioned a 2D game that would complement this soundtrack. The choice of instruments is very surprising. Great job!
