I absolutely love the sound pallette you used here. There are some interesting synths. I also love your use of different meters, particularly 7/4, throughout this soundtrack. Very impressive!

Description
Starcrossed is the OST to a space RPG game. A love story and an epic galactic adventure told with music inspired by classic Progressive Rock albums and by JRPG music. I used FL Studio 12 to compose every song, and although it mostly uses VST'S, the OST has prominent electric guitar parts which i played, as well as a friend's contribution on bass.
Track 1 and 2 are the theme songs for the main characters: Eileen (a joyful creative girl who likes imagining her own galaxies) and Lily (A serene girl who takes care of a garden)
Track 3 plays during a cutscene where we see the dream they both have
Track 4 is Hackett (The deer creature who creates life across the universe) song, and plays where he explains that he needs the girls help to fight the Shadow Beings (The Villains)
Track 5 and 6 are the Shadow Beings theme song and battle song
Track 7 is the game over song.
Track 8 plays during a cutscene on which the characters travel across space
Track 9 and 10 are simple planet songs
Track 11 plays when the girls begin fall in love with each other.
Track 12 is another planet song
Track 13 is a boss battle song against the machines who create the Shadow Beings
Track 14 plays during a scene where Lily (The deuteragonist) starts behaving differently.
Track 15 plays in the planet Awakia after the girls free them from the machines
Track 16 is the battle song against a Lily fully corrupted by the remainders of the Shadow Beings.
Track 17 plays after the battle is finally over, but Lily and Eileen must take separate ways after Hackett's mission is over.
Track 18 sounds when Eileen is on the island Hackett promised her, but she misses Lily.
Track 19 is when Eileen, with the help of the game's secondary characters, travels to Lily's island
Track 20 plays when Eileen searches across Lily's island to find her again.
Track 21 is when they both find each other again but are taken to another dimension with Hackett, who's in his full form. He reveals that the whole adventure was a test for the girls to make them fall in love with each other and prove that no matter what they would prioritize being together always, with the hope that they could take his place as the Universe life creators. They accept.
Track 22 plays in one final cutscene when the girls take Hackett's powers and they are together, bringing their love to the universe from then on.
Do keep in mind that this story was not thought much and it may have some plot holes but i wanted to make something heartwarming to make music for.
I hope the soundtrack is good and that you enjoy it!
Message from the artist:
I hope this soundtrack speaks to you somehow and that it makes you happy! (And maybe headbang in 7/8 as well)
Theme

How does it fit the theme?
