Description
This piece is an upbeat hybrid electro-acoustic theme with a feeling of exploration, discovery, and adventure through changing circumstances. It's intended as an overture with themes to be developed throughout the course of the hypothetical game it serves. Done in Logic Pro with lots of Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, Fuse Audio Labs, Valhalla DSP, and native Logic sounds.
Message from the artist:
My first Itch.io game jam submission! I really enjoyed this prompt and I'l glad to have discovered this cool community.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I like travel. I like seasons. I like music and games that evoke a sense of exploration and discovery through a variety of settings and moods. I loved these prompts. I think the overture I composed encapsulates these ideas as filtered through my weird brain and the travels I've done over the course of my life, virtually and actually.

That pleasant synth lead in the beginning really grabbed my attention. The song was lovely to listen to throughout :)
Really enjoy the jazziness of this one, it sounds like the menu music to a sort of futuristic RPG or something
oooh i am getting persona vibe here
This is so groovy! I love the syncopations and the instrument choices are excellent. The vibe feels pretty chill which I really loved, and I was definitely grooving with your music. Nice work!
Thank you! I really enjoyed your submission as well. Cheers!
A very interesting composition, as I realized something on the verge of jazz and lo-fi
I feel this would work better as a background to some chill game where you make recipes or assemble something rather than explore something but I really liked it!
love it! the bass kicking in was my favorite part
REALLY LOve the chords you used, especially around 1:13, pretty jazzy
Very chill and evocative, nice work!
I felt this Lo-Fi moment towards the beginning with the piano. Super cool. The transitions were very smooth and i was jamming out! good job.
This is awesome, love the jazzyness of it! Will definitely listen to this again at some point
This is fantastic! The drum groove, chord progression, timbres and improvisation, everything is on point!
Thank you, Phelippe!
I love it!!!! I like how it starts with celeste-ish atmosphere and progressively moving to jazz. Listening it, I thought I would really have loved to play a game where we hear some nice impro lines
Thank you!! I'm a jazz musician professionally, so improvisation is in a lot of what I do.
That bass drop is niiiiiice !!
It has some super cute Celeste-like vibes ^^
Thanks very much! A couple of folks have mentioned Celeste and I actually hadn't even heard of it. (I'm pretty new around here, and a rather old-school gamer.) I'll have to check that one out!
Oh man you're in for a treat then ^^
