Description
Time Engineer is a puzzle game, When The Time is Lost represents the main menu music, and The Flow of Time is played when the player is tackling the puzzles. Both soundtracks are made using Ableton Live 11 Lite
Message from the artist:
This is my first time making music without an actual game. It's been very fun for me and I hope you enjoy my music.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I tried using sounds that remind me of the ticking of a clock and time itself.

Excellent ambience and pad textures! Awesome!
When the Time Is Lost: The mallet instrument definitely seems to be acting like the ticking of a clock, which is a nice effect tying into the theme. The guitar adds an element of loneliness to the overall feel. I really like when the string chords change their pattern and hit the dissonant chord such as at 1:45 and 1:58.
The Flow of Time: The gentleness of the mallet instruments would make this a relaxing track to solve puzzles to. The big synth sound comes up out of nowhere suddenly and gives us a grand sound. I love the chord change at 1:14. I like the sweet sound of the bells at the very end. Good job and thank you for sharing!
This is really cute! I like your instrument choices, and i like your melodies too.
It's nice how the track develops throughout in many different ways.
I also like how the music feels a bit off rhythm. It gives it a kind of free time feel that i like.
Overall, good job! I liked it a lot :)
I'm really glad you liked it! :)
very nice and chil bg music
i like the bells type sound for the second track
Thanks, I tried to create the vibe of a grandfather clock there!
I like the melodies, and I think the minimalistic approach for the first track fits the vibe of the game very well. I also like the samples used in the melodies and how they pop from the mix!
I like the string patches, and I think they would benefit with you playing with the dynamics a little more with them.
Nice work on the tracks!
Thank you for your kind words!
Very distinctive sound. Really liked your choice of instruments and the fact you kept melody in the foreground. Very good!
Thank you very much!
