Description
Orchestral music. I used Cakewalk by Brandlab and free vst. The soundtrack is a compilation of themes that will go sequentially as the player progresses through the game further.

Message from the artist:
Thank you for listening to this soundtrack if you did it! :) I will be glad of any feedback!

Theme:

Wish upon a star
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
When I was writing music, I imagined that the character was going through a test in search of what he wants in his life, his wish.

This was nice!  Your composition here flows really nicely, and I like how the progression is shaped throughout the course of listening to the soundtrack.

This feels like an orchestral suite as it transitions smoothly from one theme to the next. The pulsing strings and the use of organ gives this an ominous and dark feel which fits your story well! I appreciate how you add layers in with each repetition so no section ever feels exactly the same as the previous section. After such a long track, I was expecting a build-up to a bigger ending, but I still really like all that you have. Thank you for sharing!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the ending didn't turn out exactly as I intended (oddly enough, for technical reasons). Anyway, glad you liked it! :)

The ominous tone of this track makes me imagine the main character in the middle of a terrible storm at sea. I think it fits the picture theme very well, and there's lots of very creative ideas in there. Good entry!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad that the music was able to give similar feelings when listening! :)

Kind of creepy instrumental entry, but really cool!

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I wanted to make music that felt like a struggle against some dark essence. I'm glad you liked it:)

My tired brain read this as "Wind the Fish".

I like the slow buildup. Also extra points for using the organ, one of my favorite instruments!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I really like the organ too! :)

Very interesting introduction with the repetitive aug 4th!

I think you managed to keep 2 voices writing  sufficient, with occasional bass line and a bit of rhythmic element. I think it could be even more interesting to introduce some harmonies, like harmonising one of 2 voices(just my 2 cent).

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I like to use repetitive parts with a gradual build-up of instruments in a musical composition. I'll think about harmonies, I'll try to use this approach in one of the following soundtracks! :)
