Description
"Voyage into the Depths" is a dramatic orchestral track written for the OST Composing Jam #7. It starts with some ambient soundscape synths representing the vastness of the sea, noise textures representing the waves above, and then some arpeggiating bass synthesizers define the track's rhythm. The female choir adds a dramatic effect, as if your adventure down has a huge sense of importance. The melody is played by a glockenspiel, highlighting the child-like nature of the character.
Later in the track, a small solo of the dramatic cello ensemble with the build-up shows the difficulties and sense of doubt of the character, but as the track crescendos, you know your destiny lies in this sea and these depths; you are certain.

Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The atmosphere created by the synthesizers (mostly bass, noise and pads) give this track an underwater vibe. For the game, I imagined a plot where a little girl was diving into the depths of the sea to find her mother's lost medallion.

The mix of instruments and textures here is really nice, it fits in well with the narrative that you've described. Good work!
really liked this track, especially near the end when it started ramping up. it definitely captures a feeling of excitement, like heading somewhere new for the first time. also the synths in background are nice. it like ocean.
Hi Aemilius!
Very special strength in your composition. Portraits a deep emotion and present nuances along track that were very carefully made. Love the synth sounds in the background.
Amazing work!
Gospel choir is one of my favorite things ever and I really liked it here!
I do think it could have ended with something more dramatic or at least a tad more satisfying but it was still really good!
Great buildup and great payoff. Lovely track good job! I think you got the theme right there, nice!
I love how everything builds to those string melodies at the end of the track. I think you combined and layered quite a few instruments and textures successfully to create a really unique entry. Well done!
Fantastic layering, really cool artwork, epic AF, I don't see what we could ask more ! The metalophone melody could be a little quieter for my taste, but that's really neatpicking.
Love the build up with the layering of choir, pads and arpeggio. What a vibe!
Very cool. The overall progression is nice, very pleasant to listen to. Great job!
