Description
4 Hybrid Orchestral & Electronic songs to tell a story of a journey through a luminescent lucid dream!
Delve Within The Soul (Title Screen & Main Theme) : The introduction to your journey & giving a sense of wonder to what you might encounter...
Crossing The Depths of Sorrow (Overworld #1) : You slowly realize that a lot of sadness encompasses you... your worries & sorrow have culminated into a sea! This tune will play as you figure out your way through the depths of sorrow.
Soaring In Ambition (Overworld #2): You've discovered the key to leaving this sorrow filled dream is high in the sky. Therefore you do what any dreamer would do. Fly high and soar through the sky!
FEARMONGER (Escape Theme): You're ALMOST there but before you reach the event horizon, the FEARMONGER, a being who chases after you, not permitting you to leave. Why can't you control it? What is it? A monster? A sub-conscious culmination of your fears? Escape from this lucid nightmare at all costs or face it & end it all!

Great piano on Soaring in Ambition! Fearmonger was epic, and loved the violins Crossing the Depths of Sorrow, which probably was my favorite. Overall great cohesion and good storyline. Nice work!
Thanks so much <3
Excellent work! The sounds you chose were great. The melodies, chords, and drum work were excellent as well, resulting in a great mix of genres/styles. Loved the vocals in Delve Within The Soul, and that change on 0:58 has a great impact. An OST that brings out many emotions. Great submission!
Thanks so much! Glad my sound choice wasn't in vain xD
This music is so moving. I love it. The whole experience is aweing. From the first track all the way to the last one, you had me drawn into the world. Beautiful work. I especially love the instrument sets you used. The blend of rock and electronic were just stunning, along with the energy of each track. Great job on the artwork as well, it is really good also. This sound track by far has been one of my top 5 favorites! I love all the songs.
Thank you, that's really high praise <3 I'm glad I was able to convey what I wanted to you :D
The ethereal synthetic landscape suits the story so well! The intro track drew me and never let go from there. Excellent work!
Thanks so much <3
Love the overall, dreamlike mood of this track! The drums really add to the overall track, and feel like a powerful component in each song, which is something I could improve on myself. This OST is also incredibly relaxing to listen to, while also telling a story or capturing an area in the process. Overall, amazing work!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed & it hit the relaxing vibe for you xD
Nice track dude ! Your production is good too :)
Thank youuu <3
Super nice instrumentation, particularly the vocal "ah"'s just sound so lush and personal within the soundscape. I enjoy the slow flow of the songs and the inherent contrast that the poignant drums present. The flow is very fitting to the theme and general concept, as well.
EDIT: One note, the Violin sounds a bit sharp.
Thanks so much! Glad it fits the theme for ya.
Also yeah I didn't realise until a few days after the jam started that the violin was wayy too bright & loud xD thanks for the critique though & looking forward to checking out your submission.
Great composition skills, nise orchestration. Bit lack of mixing and equalisation, but overall great entry!
Thanks so much for your advice. Yeah haha I always spend 90% of my time on composition and little on mixing. Definitely need to improve there xD
Loved this submission, gave me heavy Toby Fox vibes in the best way possible. My favorite was definitely Soaring in Ambition, but FEARMONGER was awesome as well with how it picked up and had some rock elements to it. Great collection of tracks overall!
Thanks so much! Considering how much of a banger Undertale is, I'll take that compliment very gladly :D
Really good stuff!! Composition and mixing were very nicee. Every track was really fun and enjoyable, I never felt like they got repetitive or boring, but rather I felt like there was always something new going on! (that's a good thing) I also love the way you play with key changes, and how you manage to transition to them so smoothly. To be honest listening to this reminded me of Xenoblade and Touhou music, I really like both soundtracks, hope you don't mind the comparison though. If I had to pick a favorite track, I'd say it was Soaring in Ambition, especially the part after 1:56. Nice work again!
Thanks so much! You hit a mark actually, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my favorite game & soundtrack ever. I never compose using games as references but you could probably tell that I take inspiration from it xD
Great job, really liked the arrangements you made!
Thanks so much!
It's nice to hear some 'voice' and guitar strumming now and then! Are you a drummer? Drumming patterns are very detailed. Thumbs up!
"Are you a drummer" is a compliment I'd never expect, haha nah I don't know how to play a single instrument. I just write what I want to hear xD
Thanks so much for listening <3
Asepright? My favorite program)
Delve Within The Soul - ah.... that singing. Nice!
Crossing The Depths Of Sorrow - sounds sad - so it fulfills its purpose. Cool. And the second part of this track, with its inclusion of drums - awesome!
Soaring In Ambition - This track sounds..... cute?)
FEARMONGER - AAAAAAAA BEAUTIFUL GUITARAAAARA!!! (Love the dynamics of the track)
You've got an interesting work, with its own atmosphere and...
God, I love the violin) (And the drums are great) You did a very nice job.
Your compositions should be listened by many more people than there are now!
Thank youu <3
Ah I'm still in the top 100 most rated so I'm quite okay with that, anymore would be too much haha
There's some really nice horizontal arrangement here. I really like how you were able to develop and evolve your ideas over each track. It kept everything really interesting and fresh to listen to.
Thank you so much! I was a little worried it would sound "samey" but I'm glad each one was fresh to you :D
Incredible progression between all tracks. Delve within the soul is special. Your melody and chord choice are incredible, it sounds so good it’s wow, amazing!
Thanks for the submission, I’m definitely keeping Delve Within The Soul in my loop playlist!
Thank you so much! Glad I scored bonus points by sliding one of my songs into your playlist xD
oh wow it's truly beautiful.. and epic at the end with FEARMONGER! the composition is so rich... totally 5 stars for me!
Thanks so much! Glad it hit the mark for you :D
Delve Within The Soul absolutely makes you want to hear more and play the game. It has a really nice depth to it that fits the idea of dreaming but also has a lot of drive signaling a journey. The vocals are especially beautiful.
Crossing The Depths of Sorrow captures the image of a sea of sadness really well. Depending on the imagined story it could have been even more sad in my opinion.
Soaring In Ambition makes you want to fly into the sky as well! I love how uplifting it sounds.
FEARMONGER creates a lot of hype which is very fitting for this point of the game. A banger!
All in all this soundtrack reminds me of a mix of gris and undertale/deltarune songs. I love it! The progression is very well done.
Thanks so much <3 I had concerns the progression wouldn't flow well but I'm glad it hit the mark for you.
This was really really enjoyable to listen to! All the songs really did feel like they all came from the same soundtrack and all had really cool and unique things to them, FEARMONGER was one i really liked as well, overall super professional sound, very clear you know what you are doing.
Thanks so much for listening <3 glad you enjoyed.
Honestly I think this is a winner right here, I absolutely love Delve Within The Soul, its perfectly balanced with how atmospheric it is while not sacrificing motion and movement, very well done.
Crossing the Depths of Sorrow has a mix of a Hollow Knight and Risk of Rain 2 Vibe which I didn't expect after hearing DWTS but was a welcome surprise.
Soaring with ambition also is full of energy, and the acoustic drums still give it a live, fresh feel, again, great work.
I def hear an undertale in FEARMONGER, shoutout lol. Great intense finale themewith echoes of the atmospheric DWTS to wrap up the game. Overall a great OST, DWTS remaining my favorite track, best of luck to you!
That's incredibly high praise, thank you so much <3
I agree DWTS is my personal favorite as well, 7 years ago I'd never have thought of creating something like that.
I absolutely adore the female vocals in the first track, and I love the shift in style that Fearmonger brings. There is a lot of variety in this OST, and you crushed all of it!
Thank you so much <3
