Description
The soundtrack is a combination of atmospheric sounds and organic instruments, some tracks are fast-paced and close to EDM and the others are slow and emotional. The game is about a member of an ancient civilization who travles trough the space spreading life and judging its evolution. I described every track in detail in the itch.io page.
I used FL Studio to compose and produce each track. I experimented with time signature changes and a common leitmotif that varies a bit in each track.

Message from the artist:
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my work. I wanted to express an existential sentiment, what if we were judged for our actions as humanity? Would our planet survive?

I would have liked to produce even more tracks, I like this kind of jams!

Good luck to everyone!

Theme

Panspermia (Πανσπερμία)

How does it fit the theme?
I created a story in which life was implanted on worlds throughout our universe thanks to an ancient and wise civilization. Life is everywhere, but it must be judged. Stella is a watcher who must discover how atrocious humanity is, but also its virtues.

Dunno why but it's got some anime melancholia in it.
I liked the theme reprise in the last track, everything is very cohesive!

These tracks are good vibes! I love the 6/8 remix of the main theme as the menu theme-- these kinds of things are what give a soundtrack the cohesiveness they need to succeed.

The Earth track is a lovely change of pace, and I enjoy its playfulness and purity. The Voyage track is also really fun! Each track is joyful to listen to and reminds me of Undertale battle themes a lot. In each track, I would recommend adding more chord changes just to make things more interesting. The other changes you do have make for a couple of really interesting tracks! Synthpop for the win :)

I could really feel the story in the tracks, and the attention to detail was fantastic. I loved the whole album, but Voyage was my favorite. This one just feels so professional, I could imagine this in a Nintendo game. Great work!
