Description
I imagined a cute adventure game about discovery. The track Peaceful Shore is meant to be like a cozy village area maybe like a starting area before the grand adventure takes place underwater. The Deep Sea Adventure track is pretty much the core of the whole adventure idea. The Abyssal Enigma track shows a darker side of the game, maybe as the game introduces something mysterious and not well understood, it is also quite dissonant for that reason. I used FL Studio for all three compositions. For the first two I mentioned, I started with writing a melody and then added on to it more and more progressively, and for the last one I mentioned I started with a bunch of chords, some with a lot of tension, and then added a melody afterwards.

Nice flute and percussion! I love it when composers play with these instruments)
- I love the very "boop-boop-boop" style pan flute instrument in "Peaceful Shore", it's very cute. Also loved the moment in the loop where a lot cuts out - silence is such a cool tool and you use it very effectively here!
- "Deep Sea Adventure" is cool and engaging, and I like your sectional writing in it - but I'm not getting that much of a sea vibe in it? It has more of a "marching through a forest" feel to me - it might be the frequency of short-duration notes? Possibly a melody that moves a little slower might help it :)
- "Abyssal Enigma" strikes a real impression from the first note! I really enjoyed your use of unusual tonality and chromaticism - it felt very intentional and well-chosen to me.
Overall this is a cohesive and interesting album, nice work!
Love how sweet and cosy these pieces are! Also love how Abyssal Enigma is just that little bit off kilter in terms of the harmonies - makes it just that bit disconcerting. Well done!
That bass in the first track goes so hard
I adored the flute or whatever woodwind instrument you used was. What was it?
The quality of the sounds used make this feel like very unique game. I see a mix of nintendoesque / indie little game.
I pictured a very colorful world with cute and attaching characters. It has it's own ambiance and every track correspond well withvthe description you made :)
I really liked the strangeness of Abyssal Enigma ! My favorite of the three I guess !
I love this!! Every track is so delicately put together and sounds like it belongs in a route in a Pokémon game. The sound selection puts the tracks together so nicely as every noise gently comes at you. Great work! <3
I think that each track match very well the areas you described for your imaginary game, especially "Peaceful Shore" with that cozy vibes it evokes. The OST as a whole is very cohesive in its sound and composition. Great work!
I liked deep sea adventure the best, good job!
Nailed the beach feelings with these. They're packed with whimsy and breeziness - I found that Abyssal Enigma in particular sounds as though it's straight out an N64 underwater level. Can't quite put my finger on why - perhaps the arpeggio and soft-lead? Either way, a fun listen. Good work with these!
