Description
It's a dark and ambient track with some ochestral elements. I only produced one track which would be the main track during the game.
I did it on Reaper.
Message from the artist:
Dark & Ambient. Let me know if you like it! :)
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
It's a kind of horror game about a new specie that traveled through space on an asteroid. I followed the Panspermia theory about life beeing brought to eart from celestial objects.
A more complete description is available on my soundtrack page.

Nice choice of instruments, makes a really nice dark atmosphere. I think this would be ever better with a more raw string sound - to sound more like live solo players, so you really hear the bite of the bow on the string
I 100% love the vibe! Nice one
I'm glad you like it :)
What a great, dark, moody and edge-of-your-seat track. I am a fan.
I'm glad you like it :)
Interesting 'waving' of the music. I like how mood changes through this piece! Amazing percussion. Good job!
Thank you :)
Nice ! The dark cosmic-horror feel is really strong here, I love it ! Do you plan to work on a game from it ?
Thanks! ;)
Maybe we could make a real game out of it. Would you do the graphics?
Hell yeah, it's dark ! The ending part is very powerful congrats !
Thanks :)
Nice little touches all over the track really bring it to life.
I'm glad you like it :)
I love the deep, rich color of the low strings in your opening! The instruments have a lot of emotion, these are lovely samples. I do wish you added some chord changes to make it less loop-ey, but the changes to dynamics and instrumentation that you do add are quite nice. Good job!
Thanks :)
I like to keep things simple and I find that you don't need to put a lot of chord changes to get a good result. But you're right it sounds a bit like loops haha.
Beautiful theme idea and music, makes you feel like something is out to get you! Too bad it's only one track.
I'm glad you like it! :)
Truly dark and cinematic, well done!
Thanks :)
This is a super creative take on the theme! The song is also really good, but I kinda wish there was more than one.
Thanks :)
I wasn't available all week so I tried to make at least one good track
Understandable
You weren't kidding when you called it Dark and Ambient. Its a varied track. Love the cover art- and the song's not bad! :D
Thanks :)
