-Shrouded Whispers: The whispers that have been following you are getting louder, but you press on. The thick foliage becomes darker in color, and the air gets thicker. You see shadows out of the corners of your eye, but you continue. You need to find the source. You need to end this.

How we composed: We used a mixture of techniques. If you listen closing enough you can hear different melodies or motifs used through out multiple songs with variation. We tried to keep the tracks closely interlinked albeit unique in their own way.
Message from the artist:
We are breadwinners.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I think we were able to perfectly capture the theme with a suspenseful, eerie, and adventurous vibe. Each track stands to fit a different aspect of the journey, whether it be resting or adventuring through a scary place.

Very cinematic and energetic. Love the vibe! All tracks are very well finished. Soaring Freedom is my favorite. Very beautiful! Great mix of orchestral and synth sounds in Shrouded whispers. You struck a common theme quite well. I could not tell who wrote which track. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my god, you had me in the first few seconds of "Rising Peak" - what a statement of intent that commanded attention! The grace of the tracks was really well done - some variations within tracks might have helped a little as they sometimes felt a bit long for what they were communicating - "Shrouded Whispers" is the exception and handled this really effectively which kept my attention much more easily. My favourite track was definitely "Rising Peak", so amazing.
Loved all the tracks! Nice variety of faster and slower movements, as well as the atmospheres. I could definitely listen to some of these track in loop :)
Very epic sounding! I appreciate that you mixed different music styles and textures so that the album sounds fun and interesting as a whole.
This sounds great! I'm digging the electronic/orchestra vibes. I can definitely see it together with the image. Good work!
Definitely feels like a forest, i particularly enjoyed Waltz Through the Forest and Echoes!
Really cool use of electronic and orchestral elements. The composition was great. This was a fun soundtrack to listen to and hear the difference in styles between each composer. Good job!
Strong forest vibes throughout! Loved the varying levels of energy between the tracks. Especially loved Rising Peak, very driving!
I love the dramatic pianos in "Echos". Gives me chills, Well done!!
I love the energy Shrouded Whispers and Rising Peaks has, overall this soundtrack has some pretty moments and great composition!
