Description
The soundtrack represent a fantasy game of being able to live under the water, the beautiful life inside the water but its not just a slice of life underwater game, the sea itself hiding many untold stories of the world fate.
The music flows and changes.

I use DAW Fl Studio to make these soundtracks

Message from the artist
Listen from the Aquatope first and then the second one, Untold Stories

Theme

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The picture shown a girl living in a fantasy underwater world, living the same water as the creatures. All i can see is just a peaceful and wonderful fantasy life, but maybe that's just the surface, then what about beneath the surface?

The soundtrack that i have made fits the theme about a fantasy of the underwater
The title for the first one is "Aquatope"
And the second one is "Untold Stories"

A really solid and well done submission, nice work! A nice blend of electronic and orchestral instruments, I like it. I also gotta give props to the guitar solo in "Untold Stories," it definitely caught me by surprise but it did not disappoint! The intro in "Aquatope" was also really nice, well done!

That's all I have to say, have a great day and gl on the results! :D

A beautiful combination of rock motifs, orchestration and electronics... I like it!

Thanks)

Developer

Thank you... glad you like the songs i made :))

Some great ideas on show here, and really like the contrasts that you manage to create! Keep working on the dynamic shape of the orchestral instruments, as this will add more depth to these passages. I would also maybe think about taking a different approach with the drums, either by using different samples, or even taking a more experimental approach, as you could explore some different ideas with that aspect of the tracks I feel. Great work overall :)

Developer

Thank you for the advices.... i guess i need to work harder. thank you for your kind comment! :))))

COOL SOUNDTRACK!

How did you achieve the sound in the first seconds of Aquatope?

1:04 Untold Stories...simply amazing!!

Well done!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you...! i achieved the sounds from a bright melody and added a bitcrush effect and pancake to make it sounds going all around. And im glad that you liked the 2nd tracks... i had a lot of fun record the guitar :)))

Submitted

A very nice blend of electronic and orchestral elements. Things did get just a little busy in Untold Stories but overall it was still a strong piece.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comment!...  makes  sense that the 2nd song has many loud sounds at the same time... i got a learn mixing a lot next time.. thank you for the review~!

Submitted

really enjoyed the melodies in “Aquatope”! Super full production, great job!

Thank youu... im glad you liked the song!

Major kudos for the intro on Aquatope - the way the layers are introduced at the beginning is really well done and when it really opens up it sounds great. Nice and chill with some pleasant melodies and a good rhythm driving it. Really like the choice of voicings throughout this one, and the tempo mod toward the end was a nice touch.

Untold Stories is a bit more defined in its' direction off the bat. Really nice articulations to kick things off, and the waltz rhythm is an absolute boon here. Great choice of instruments in this one too, and I like the that the lead melodies are never overtly busy and instead focus on maintaining a flow. 
I did not have a guitar signal on my bingo card for this one - it came as a surprise, but it works really well. Fits into the track and doesn't try too hard to be anything it isn't. Good example of a solo befitting underscore.

All in all this is a great submission - two solid pieces with their own defined sounds and directions. Great work, and best of luck!

Developer

Thank youu for your kind comment! really appreciated it!

Really pleasant electronic accompaniment, and overall great instrumentation choice and guitar solo! Waltz is such a great choice for the theme. It might be cool to borrow of that instrumtation for the background of the second track like a harp or a pad. Nice work!

Thank you... some of the sounds are from a stock plugins in fl studio... and the rest of it i got from internet

Submitted

Really great job! I really like the violin and the piano in the second track. Great work!

Developer

Thank you very muchhh... i really had fun making these songs!!

Submitted

Loved the first track! Very danceable and upbeat. My only criticism is the harmonies at the beginning felt a bit off (which could be very deliberate - if so, cool!) 

Second track waltz time with the music box felt very old school circus-like - lovely!

Much respect to you for recording a live guitar line! I know how hard that can be - well done!

Developer

Thank youu... i had a lot of fun making it and glad you liked it !....

Submitted

The first song was very nice! Got me to bop my head more than most other entries I have rated so far.

The second track had some mixing issues with too many things happening at once that it got muddied but overall very nice.

Developer

Thank you for your advices... it is true that i haven't learned mixing quite a lot soooo makes sense but overall thank youu!!!

Submitted

Hey these are some nice tracks, especially how the mix isn't completely centered! One thing with the 2nd track though it sounds like everything is getting super compressed and mostly occupy the same registers which makes some things harder to hear, though that guitar part you played about half-way in was sick!

Developer

Thank youuu... and i think i need to learn about mixing more.... thank you for your advicess!...

Submitted

I love the harmonies you used in the first track, subtle but so effective :)

Developer

Thank youu.... im glad you like it!...
