Description
Genre - Original Soundtrack
DAW: Reaper.
Theme: Runaway
JAM: OST Composing Jam #4

Timeline:

0:00 - 0:44
You're running, you don't know where, you don't know from whom. You feel the fear coming over you. You need to save your child. And get out of this forest alive.
0:44 - 1:10
Fear does not leave you, the forest thickens more and more, the darkness covers you. You don't know how it will end.
1:02 - 1:20
To save the child - that's the main thing. We need to find a way out.
1:20 - 1:50
You see a ray of light ahead. A new hope, you realize that all is not lost yet, you can get out alive and save your child
1:50 - 2:11
No, that ray has disappeared. It was a mistake, what are you going to do now? Where to run? You stumble over a tree root and fall. The darkness consumes you more and more. There is no way out.
2:11 - 2:35
To wait. It just can't be! The darkness is leaving, the forest is beginning to dissipate! Can I really get out of here alive? Yes, definitely! It's light now, you're glad. The fear suddenly disappeared. You are filled with happiness, you are gaining new strength and ready for new steps.
2:35 - 3:10
You did it, you and your child are alive, and you are ready for new life changes!

Nice job with the cinematic percussion. I also like that thing that sounds kinda like a voice at around 1:30. A bit more reverb might make this even better. Great job!

Developer

Thanks you. I'll take note!

Sounds great, very intense :D

Very impressive sounding. Adventurous to say the least. Would work better for a promotional.

Very cool, professional sounding. Jungle chase, Jurassic Park vibes. That came through very clear without any description. I imagine a movie or cutscene, rather than a full game OST. I felt like it would benefit from some personal flair/creativity—there's little of novelty here. Overall great job, criticism provided only for the sake of ideas for improvement!

Developer

The beginning is a little delayed, but the denouement begins in the middle. Thank you, I appreciate any criticism.

Loving the heavy percussion throughout! I get a sense of a chase through a jungle environment.

Great work on the drums and low brass - reminds me of Berlioz and Dies Irae, like the switch and direction of the piece too

Submitted

Pretty intense. I like the drums. I quite like the bit with the extra lighter percussion as well. They really convey that forest-ey feel.

Submitted

great work! The storm drums add such an intense feeling to the track while the ambiance surrounding them make this track jump right out of my speakers. Fantastic quality too!

Submitted

Very cool, the drums give it a sense of propulsion and I can imagine the different settings or 'backgrounds' that a player character might be racing through - in pursuit or being pursued. Nice work.

Thank you very much! I was trying to create music that would be similar to the theme and image. The beginning may seem long, but the denouement, in my opinion, is great!
