Description
Pansophiphilia, root word pansophy, means a desire to see or know everything. The game this soundtrack accompanies, I imagine, would be built around exploration, encountering incredible landscapes, experiences, people, and dangers.
I mainly used synthesizers to convey an alien-esque style, along with some cello and piano at times for a smoother, Earthy timbre. I created tracks in three different moods, with a calm, anticipation-building track (Title Screen), a more active "impending disaster" song (Tornado Trouble), and a simple melody overlaid atop more complex root chords for a rather interesting feeling (Wistful Slopes).
Composed using Musescore 3.
Message from the artist:
Prepare for adventure to distant places, encountering sweeping vistas, cragged mountains, bouncing creatures, and destructive forces! Panspermia: may you see it all.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
"Panspermia" inspired me to make my tracks with an alien, otherworldly tone, mainly using synthesizers. The picture also gave me a wistful feeling, like there's more out there to find, which was the main feeling I tried to convey in my Title Screen track.

Tornado Trouble was great, the beginning of it reminded me a lot of the music played in inns in games like Skyrim. I also really liked the build in the middle of the song, wish that build in energy would have continued until the end of the song to make it more epic. Very nice soundtrack though!
I liked the overall mood of the soundtrack. I especially enjoyed the chords and bass in Tornado Trouble and thought the sounds used in the song were coherent. I did not know it was possible to use so many different VSTs in MuseScore so good job on that!
Wistful Slopes was my favorite one! Nice job :)
Great tracks, I honestly couldn't tell the first piece was done with musescore :) keep up the great work!
Nice tunes :) I like the last piece with cello!
