Description
Genre is a bit of 8 bit combined with elements of orquestra and rock. The full run time of everything combined is around the 14 and a half minutes. The software I used was fl studio.
Message from the artist:
A representation of a clock that never stops... always looping. Hope you enjoy.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I added some elements that usually people assosiate with time. Reverse sounds is one of them, used on a couple of the songs. Some filters might evoke a "Old telephone" vibe. And the thing that is in almost all of the OST is the "tick tock" sound. I wanted to make it so its on all the ost except for the end, since I wanted to make it as a sort of motif of the loop the characters are trapped in.

The main theme is epic, it goes hard, and higher quality instruments would take it to the next level. Love how it takes the motif from A Never Ending Loop and Break the Loop, and turns them into something harder. Reminds me of Sword of Mana with the composition and some of the sounds. Cool stuff!
thanks for the feedback! I would definetly try higher quality vsts and instruments but damn they cost a ton and I don't have the money :'p
You've got some cool sounds and melodies going here! The last track was my favourite - it had a grand, emotional resonance. My only recommendation would be to reduce the volume of the "clapping" sound in the background, as it was a teensy bit loud at times in comparison with everything else. But overall, your music tracks were nicely done!
Nice theme, interesting blending of electronic and realistic sounds.
Only thing I maybe miss a little bit is more sound richness of the real instruments (but since you went for "Old telephone" vibe, I think it was the goal?) :)
The last track is where it really all came together for me. Everything that got introduced was really fun and welcome: the 8va portamento synth, followed by the arps, then the crunchy lo-fi drums, then the guitar and choir. Finally, the fadeout with forward/reverse piano - fabulous. I think tracks 1-3 in general could stand to be given a little more of that treatment, the ideas are good but they needed taken a little bit further. Track 4 I get what you were going for, it felt like it was too much when everything came in all at once. In general, I feel like track 5 is such a winner of a track, I'd love to hear more tracks like it.
Thanks for the kind words! I will admit I did made 1-3 really short but I wanted to put more focus on the last ones and their motif
Not bad at all, not everything is ok, but it is a nice effort, keep going!
Nice use of the theme throughout the soundtrack. The tracks have a consistent, cohesive sound as a whole; using a nice contrast of synth and realistic sounds. I especially enjoyed the energy in the final boss theme. Nice work!
It's nice for me. I like that mix of 8-bit sound and orchestral intruments but it's not exacly my taste in music
Nice! I like your use of reverse sounds, it feels more immersive somehow, especially in track 2. I do think things get a little too loud at parts though, namely with the electric guitar in the later tracks. There’s a lot of overlap in the last track especially that makes other parts of the song a little difficult to hear since there’s so much going on.
Thanks for the feedback!! I am glad you liked it. I will admit in the mixing part I still struggle a bit.
