Description
It's made with FL Studio. I wanted every track to be connected to each other, and to make a whole single thing, like symbiosis. I only used a few instruments, to let space, and void express themselves. I wanted my soundtrack to sound mysterious and a bit oppressing, so I used a lot of dissonance and I found it a bit challenging not to fall into horror/creepy music.
My username is different from my artist name (GIGADRIVE). Sorry about that !
Message from the artist:
Here is my submission. I hope you'll like it, I enjoyed making it a lot.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I used a lot of huge reverb, atmospheres to represent space, some synths with pitch automation, stretched samples, perma-evolving patterns to represent alien forms.

Now this, this is some good stuff. I started with Arriving and thought "Oh, cool, this is nice. This is probably going to be my favourite track already." and then I went through Adapting and Fertilising and the latter gave me some real Solar Fields vibes. So while I really dig how you've modulated the motif at the beginning of Birthing, Fertilising is my favourite. And overall, the space that you create is really good. It's got lots going on, but it's also tidy, everything in its place. Good stuff.
Well, thank you for your awesome comment! It truly motivates me to keep on composing. I'm on a long journey to becoming a professional composer. I really liked your submission too
Hey! I really liked the bells you used in Birthing.
I like the style, the tracks fit well together and are definitely oppressive!
Very ambient ! I really liked the Fertilizing one :)
Thank you ! I was listening to your soundtrack at the same time ! Masterpiece!
Cheers ! Happy you liked it !
I'm in love with the tunes, great job!
Many thanks ! :)
Quite unsettling, I liked track #2 the most (Fertilizing).
Good job!
Thanks !
I will now listen to this while making tea so I can feel like I'm an evil scientist, great job!
thank you ! I really like yours as well
Very nice ambiance, I could totally see this in some kind of SOMA-esque space horror game.
thanks!
TOP TIER Ambient music. I loved Adapting the most, but they were all great. I kind of got Portal and Portal 2 vibes at times. Just an excellent submission from top to bottom. Totally in theme as well, you nailed it.
Thank you! :)
