Description
Hello, Jack and Lane here!
You are a Wish Granter - you sail around on the ocean of dreams, venturing into the real world to make people's wishes come true. All Wish Granters have an agreement: only grant good wishes. Wishes that would do ill upon others are strictly forbidden and are not to be granted. However, one Wish Granter strayed from the path of good, and began to grant forbidden wishes; this has given them unbelievable power, which they used to subjugate and imprison the other Wish Granters. As the last Wish Granter, you must amass your own power by granting good wishes, in hopes of eventually facing the evil Wish Granter and freeing your friends.
We wanted to capture the wistful and dreamy energy that the picture gives off, and we thought that an ethereal sounding OST would fit perfectly; the music is inspired by classical music, and it uses a lot of soft electric piano and cello sounds as the base. Much of the OST is panned in the left and right ears, as well as being reverberated and delayed to give off the dreamy, hazy feeling. We also played with different time signatures, tempo changes, and phrase lengths to nail the pleasant, but sometimes uncertain and tense, atmosphere.

Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
We tried to tap into the dreamy aesthetic we feel when looking at the image and thinking of "wishing".

So pretty, fits the theme perfectly with the sparkly instrumentation. Favorite was Star Shower. Liked the arpeggios including the b6 for that augmented flavor in that track. Great work!
I enjoy how tranquil the pieces sound. Thank you for sharing them with us!
So spacey and dreamy! I really love the last piece, Star Shower. It just wraps up the whole beautiful package. The quality on this OST is amazing, stellar work!
Wished Upon: The string melody is very beautiful and the production also sounds great. The crescendo in the bass and addition of the drums adds some momentum to your piece as it progresses. This is a very peaceful track and I think it sets the tone well for the game you describe and the rest of the OST.
The Waltz of Lost Wishes: My favorite part of this song is the low growly cello which adds a layer of ominousness to the music box-like melody. The melancholic nature of this piece is emphasized by the molto ritardando at the end.
Rippled Reflections: The use of 5/4 and the climbing intervals adds to the ripple/echo effect. Again I love the cello and the harmonizing viola in this track. I think this is my favorite track!
Tunnel Dreams: This has such an ethereal feel to it - I love it! This definitely feels dream-like and spacey. One thought that I had that I wonder if it could enhance this piece is to add a little variation in the bass after the first repeat. This definitely has a very mellow tone to it that you maybe did not want to add extra energy to.
The Final Wish: The use of 6/8 time gives this track a sea-faring feel. Of all your tracks, I think the melody of this one is the best written. I would have loved to have it a little bit louder in the mix because it’s so good!
Star Shower: Your experimentation with chord progressions yielded great results here that tell an interesting and bittersweet story. The end does feel nice and resolved though which does lend itself to a satisfying ending. Thank you so much for sharing!
Really cool vibes! Personally I like The Final Wish the most
This is great! Love the chill vibes, and the instrumentation is quite high quality as well. I think that your game concept is really cool, and the soundtrack seems to fit really well with it - that is to say, the whole thing felt impressively cohesive. good work!
Great work on this! Your choice of instruments is lovely, I really enjoy the sound you guys made. I really liked tunnel dreams.
This is excellent! I loved the gentle vibe of the whole soundtrack. It reminded me of the one I went for with my own entry, only taken in a much more calm and intimate direction. I feel like the OST could be used for a sweet and relaxing game. Again, great job!
I love how gentle this entire soundtrack is. Truly dreamy atmosphere. Tunnel dreams is my favorite, very beautiful with the pads and guitar. really nice work!
First off, that animation was so cute!!
I loved the vibe of your music, the art, and the dreamy quality of it all. The panning and overall mix creativity was fun! It all pulled together to make a really great submission! My favorite song is probably Start Shower, I just loved the whole vibe!
