Description
Faraway Tale imaginary RPG OST

Message from the artist:
Faraway Tale OST

Theme:

Runaway
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
Summer Afternoons is the track meant to be played in our hero's village before an event makes them leave their place and start their journey.

Treasured Memories, also meant to be the title screen theme, is a track that is meant to be played when the hero reminisces times that were calmer before the storm, and adventure, crossed their path.

Summer Afternoons - I love that simple and memorable theme. Less is really more. Very beautifully orchestrated. Does indeed have a "home" feeling. Treasured Memories - Some great medieval vibes there. I love the flutes for the foresty vibe, very well composed voices!

Submitted

I love your music. It really fits the image of a starter village or a character the protagonist is very near to, like his mother. I really like the work you did with the orchestration, at some points it even made me think about some slow paced orchestra pokemon themes. The second track was also super nice! You got the medieval feeling there.

Submitted

Beautiful and magical. Nice work. Thanks

It has a bit of a hobbit vibe and I love it. and there are notes reminiscent of the theme music of the pirates of the caribbean series. I liked it. Good work:)

Submitted

Really nice and peaceful soundtrack. Good job especially with the orchestration! 👏

Submitted

Very nice atmosphere, good work!

Ahhh... relaxing string harmonies :)  Just wait til Gandalf shows up to tell you its time to walk 1000 miles to Mt. Doom, then trigger those shire flashbacks!

Summer Afternoons works very well as a chill village theme, I can definitely imagine chilling in a village while listening to it.

Treasured memories also fits very well into what you described. The medieval flutes are very relaxing. 

Great job!

Treasured Memories is VERY Final Fantasy IX, in a good way. :)

Really loved Treasured Memories - reminds me of Actraiser, nice work!

Submitted

Even before I read your explanation, Summer Afternoons really screamed "starting village theme" to me! Treasured Memories has some really nice harmonies and makes me think of cutscenes or a character theme! Really has that reminiscent feel!

Submitted

Super medieval vibe, especially with the flutes counterpoint !

Great Job with this OST.  Summer Afternoons was awesome! that was by far my favorite. Made me feel like was truly in a fairytale. Great composition and arrangement!

such a lovely composition and arrangement! It does great job of invoking the imagery you described. Nice work!

Oh I quite like this!! My favourite is definitely treasured memories. Really like the progressions in it. It conjures up images of a medieval place.
