Description
Despite being oriented mainly on orchestral music I sometimes try something more... experimental. Adventure game with very twisted ending? Why not? Combining instruments I never combined before? Yup, why not?
Music depicts journey of a little girl named Mina - full story here: https://3yy3.itch.io/dreamscape
First track, Dreamscape, depicts the imaginary world Mina lives in. Second, Inner Peace, also a little, but the Mina's imaginary world seems to be in a trouble. Third, sort of a battle track bearing the name Black and White depicts her fight against two evil spirits. Last track named Upside Down depicts her letting go and waking up from the coma.
Produced in Reaper DAW using libraries like Cinematic Studio Series, Audio Imperia Chorus, Vital, Spitfire Cinematic Pads, Apricot and others.
Flute in first track Dreamscape is made by me and played by me also. It's made from piece of aluminium pipe (for a homemade - sounds amazing to me).
I have also played the handpan in the second track Inner Peace.
Guitar riffs and chords in third track Black and White beautifully done by the great Laureano Marin Galvan.
Artwork by Alzbeta Zapletalova (Kete).
Message from the artist
Enjoy! Otherwise, what's the point? :)
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The story depicts imaginary world happening inside coma. Mina, how I named the girl, lives in her own dream world.

Last part of Inner Peace wooow! I really enjoyed it, so many beautiful chords and such an greatly crafted arrangement. Really like the whole submission, but really a big soft spot for Dreamscape and Inner Peace!
Thank you, glad you like it! :)
Absolutely beautiful, especially loved the flute theme in Dreamscape and an electric guitar in Black and white!
Thanks, I had a blast playing the flute :D
Great music, the last part of Inner Peace is my favorite!
Thanks! :)
Goin' ham on guitar for "Black And White", nice! You played that, right? Now I wonder if it is possible to program a guitar like this at all...enlighten me if you want ^^.
Hi, thanks! The guitar is not sampled, it's actually my friend Laureano playing :) he's great!
Nice composition, well paced, Dreamscape is lovely nice buildup. Inner Peace is definitely my favourite by far, atmosphere is impeccable we can really feel the vibe of something is about to happen and will go hard. The only thing I would look for is in terms of mixing most of the track are too focused in the Mid range and Upside down has almost no low end, if you add some bass, double bass, cello anything to make it pop a little out of the mix that would be absolutely fantastic. Great job !
Thanks a lot! Also for the feedback regarding mixing. It's always hard to do that after composing cause the ears are "tired" already :D I felt that the last track is off in certain way but was too tired to trying to fix it. Thanks for pointing out the root of the problem! :)
I like this one, the orchestration and composition is very cinematic and immersive. I especially enjoy when the instruments swell and fill all the empty space together, like at the end of Dreamscape. Overall just super neat seeing an orchestral submission like this that sounds super professional and clean.
Thank you, I appreciate it! :)
You've done a great job making your tracks tell your story. I loved Black and White, I don't know why but it reminded me of some Pokemon OST near the end. Nice submission!
Thanks! Interesting, maybe that might be the synth sound in that track, it has sort of Gameboy feel to it :D
