Genre : Ambient Soundtrack
DAW : Ableton
Message from the artist:
I hope you will enjoy :)
Theme:
Runaway

How does it fit the theme?
I actually wanted to use both themes so i have used the picture theme for the both but the runaway only for the second track.

The soundscapes were a nice touch! Balanced with the music well.
I really like the atmosphere you created with both your pieces. The second one, exactly at 0:55 seconds reminded me of a track called "Second Chances" of the Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void OST, Its such a nice piece, really evokes a sense of hopefulness in the middle of all despair. Great Job!
(Btw nice cover art, really fits the style of your tracks, props to the artist as well)
thank u so much. Cover artist thanks you as well:)
Short and sweet OST. Love the atmosphere created, as well as the LABS piano in general. Strong ambience!
glad you liked it:)
Intense atmospheric tracks that do well to express their titles. There is such beauty in the second track, "Forest Chase" with the swells and piano in the second half that I was really drawn to, making me wonder what happened to the character given the first part of the track suggested movement and danger. Great work.
i'm glad you liked it :)
Really nice 2 tracks you got there, they complement each other really well. I love the little chaotic mid/high pitch sample you got in your track, it sounds like seagulls ^^
Good job overall!
thank u:)
Hi! I love the photo you chose. The music completly same atmosphere. Great choice. And feelings... No comment. Everything is complete.
i asked a friend of mine to make me a cover:). Thank u so much:)
Glad you liked the cover! I am the cover artist.
Good work. Did you do it before or after the music?
Actually it's both. I've drawn it before and modified it later to make it fit with the music better.
Really nice ambience, the only issue I had was it felt unfinished my reaction was the Zuko meme from avatar "that can't be all , where is the rest of it !?". I wanted more it look like it could go some awesome place.
Which one made you feel that way? Both?
Both but especially the first one
Great tracks! Loved the creatures voices in Forest Chase, or maybe the unknown powers you wrote about, good work!
thanks:)
You are really good at building the ambience in your tracks. Very subtle and beautiful ost!
thank you so much:)
Ooohla, that beat in combination with the animal (ducks/birds?) sounds is amazing in Forest Chase!
glad you liked it:)
Nice Job! I really like the atmosphere and it fits very well in a game!
teşekkür ederim:)
Amazing job!
thanks:)
Nice work! I really like the opening track. I felt like we were walking through a dark forest that has some history. History that people know about, but rather not talk about. I love all the textures you added. In addition to the birds, there's a nice texture of what almost sounds like bats or something that comes in every now and then. The change of key in the middle is also wonderful.
I think the second track is also quite nice. Especially the second half feels like it gives some closure to the story.
thank u so much!
Nice job creating immersive ambience! I like the bird sounds throughout. Where did you get them from?
thanks! I got it from spitfire audio labs.
Amazing job! The opening to this track was soundtrack was super impressive: the staggered entrances of the synth, the birds, and then the piano, made it sound like the track was blossoming open, sucking you into the world of the game. The key change was the next pleasant surprise: the track never felt static or boring, even though it was ambient.
The second track was also beautiful, though the drums did feel a bit out of place in the mix. I do think the initial urgency of the drums fading away into a softer piano melody conveyed the runaway story well (a chase leading into solitude). My advice would be to lean into the drama more! The drums were a good start, but ramp up the intensity with, perhaps, greater dissonance, crescendoing lines, or more rhythmic patterns in other instruments. Again, awesome job-- love the atmospheric vibes!
i appreciate your hard work in expressing your thoughts on my music! This was the way more detailed than i expected. Thanks!
Of course! The best thing for a musician is feedback, and you did so many things right I wanted to point them out. You should be proud of this stuff, it was great work!
