Description
Lower Me Further Still is a game concept currently envisioned as a puzzle-narrative experience that involves descending to the planet's depths, to cure the ailing heart of the Earth. Each track was composed initially in separate parts on piano, then as sheet music with Musescore, and finally that midi was assigned instrument voices and mixed in Logic Pro.
Message from the artist
Thank you for organizing!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I initially responded to the picture theme, and tried to capture the feeling one might have walking/floating in an environment depicted. I them took the text prompt of "Inside My World" as a literal trip to the interior of my world, planet Earth, and developed the idea for a puzzle-narrative adventure into the ocean and beyond.

You made a title screen demo 0_o that's crazy. I love the OST and could probably chill out to it from time to time. Keep on composing ma bro, you're going places.
Heh... It was an interesting experience. I heard the mix... I don't even know what to call these styles and tools... But I can say for sure that you have managed to make a beautiful vibe of science fiction!
Beyond The Edge Of Absolutely Everything - is my favorite)
Great sound design and harmonies !Seeking the Floor is a great track ;)
Good job^^
Seeking the Floor - my favorite track here, love the harmonic exploration and how well it fits with the picture theme.
Inquiries at Last - the harmonies in this one are quite strange, which I’m guessing was your intention. There's also a strong pull towards Cmaj, and for me, I wish there were more Cmaj resolutions than the one at 0:32.
Beyond the Edge of Absolutely Everything - I really enjoy the scifi vibe combined with the plucky accompaniment here. I feel like this has potential to explode into a darker scifi vibe with saw synths.
Victory Sting - it’s a weird but fun one! Cool to see stingers like this in a soundtrack!
Throughout the soundtrack, I enjoyed your exploration of different emotions and styles. Also, I feel like there is room to build these tracks more gradually. Plus, your sense of harmony is really good so I’d recommend leaning in on that. Great work overall!
The harmonic progression throughout the submission was awesome to listen to. Kind of reminded me of ethereal underwater Wii music. "Seeking the Floor" was my favorite. Good job!
I'm biased to -making- overly busy things myself so the 3rd track was my favorite listening to it out on soundcloud. The other ones felt a bit simple but it depends what one's goals are. Anyway stuff sounded great to me!

I love the way you interpreted the theme as literally going to the center of the world!
The songs are really soothing too.
loved the plucky sounds here, a great little world. nice textures and cool harmonies. great job!
It's cool that you made a little interactive visualizer, and I like the aesthetic of it and the cover art a lot, as well as the synth choices for the tracks.
