Description
This OST is inspired by the time we spend thinking until it somehow starts to feel like we are putting ourselves in a prison that is made of time and that we can't break free until we feel the time passing. thank you.

Message from the artist:
Break free of your thoughts enjoy the simple OST that is
Inspired by clock ticks and tocks.

Theme:

Tick Tock...
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The tick-tock theme appears in the rhythm of the guitar I layered under the keys and in the way that the keys play at the end of the last and first quarters and the repetitive drums. The Picture theme is present in the overall sad sentiment that lives through the whole duration of the OST.

I like the laid back, chill atmosphere! Good work!

Developer

Thank you very much man, glad you enjoyed it!

A nicely crafted melancholic sound. My advice - don't be afraid to go bigger with it! I would have loved to see some more movement/energy around 1:00 & 1:59 when things pick up; contrasting and giving more of an impact to the slower parts of the song. Regardless, nice work!

I think that has to do with my tiny sounds library, I'm working on expanding because currently most of my sounds are hip-hop related - because that's the type I do often - Thanks for listening anyways Glad that you enjoyed it, and, hopefully the next you hear of my work satisfy  you fully

cool stuff dude! i liked your choice of instruments and chords, it lends itself very nicely to the atmosphere!

if i may offer a criticism, it seems like you're relying pretty heavily on reverb to fill space in your track. i'd recommend playing around with arpeggios, counter-melodies, and harmonies as other ways to fill space!

all in all, a good track :))

Developer

I 100% agree with you on the reverb thing, it's a bad habit to rely on something all the time, tryina be better though whether through using multiple instruments or aprs or sequences , thanks for listening, highly appreciated !!!!! 
All Love

Liked it (: particularly the wobble sound on the keyboard synth and the ticking drums. Good job! 

Developer

Thanks Tim! The Key Synth is a Decent Sampler library called shivering keys I eq-ed and compressed it and sent it to a track where I plugged timeless 3 and lowered the overall volume. Glad that you enjoyed it
