Listening to your music, I can totally imagine the scenery you're describing. Interesting to see how you combined the theme of the season with sci-fi profile!

Description
This soundtrack was composed for an imaginary game - Survivors from Earth. You are leading a group of people trying to survive in the harsh and unforgiving conditions on an alien planet.
Each track depicts the journey of those people and aims at creating a fitting space ambient to what would happen on a screen.
The OST was composed and recorded using Reaper, Roland Zenology and TB-303 VSTs, Roland JU-06A and my Jackson guitar with a tone done in BIAS FX 2.

After a sudden catastrophe consumed the whole planet Earth, only one vessel managed to escape it into space. Many years have passed on the board of Moses III. Each day, the crew launched a dozen satellites that scanned the vast emptiness of myriad galaxies in search of a habitable planet.
One day the scientists found what the people could call a new home ("A New Home on the Horizon"). But living there was nothing they once remembered from Earth. It would not be an easy task to survive on the “Promised Land” - through a cycle of three seasons.
When nature wakes from its slumber, all flora explodes with life and spews psychedelic gases into the air ("Forests blooming with Acid"). Months later, heat rises to unbelievable temperatures igniting gas clouds and turning everything into burning ash ("Our Lands covered with Burning Ash")... Until the temperature goes drastically low, freezing every mote of matter into crystallized ice and preparing all life to be reborn once again ("Reflections on the Crystal Ice").
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I used the "Story of Seasons" theme to imagine an alien world with its own cycle of seasons and a story of people that would try to find their place in it.
