Description
I’ve decided to create something more.... atmospheric? I’m not sure if it has a set genre and I lack the musical knowledge to fit it in anywhere.
The run-time for these five tracks is 12 minutes, and 2 seconds (12:02)— the DAWs I used: A mix of Beepbox (beepbox.co), Ultrabox (a mod of the OG Beepbox), Bandlab, and the only editing software I used throughout the entirety of my music creating frenzy was Audacity (life saver).
About the Theme: I opted to imagine a more exploration-esque RPG game, filled with quirky characters, dark depths and imaginary mothers. Although I’ve only created six tracks for this prompt, I believe it deserves much more.
Message from the artist
it was very fun to stretch my limits a bit :> I do so hope you like listening to my music!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I took "Inside my world" as "inside my imaginary world" and as for the gorgeous art, i opted for a more sea/ocean like vibe with my music. The "imaginary" mother (or how i took it) also gets her own theme!

You nailed the sea vibes! I was immersed by your music :D
Very atmospheric!
I think there was some clipping in a few of the songs. particularly in MOTHER.
DROWNING [TITLE] - Help...
COUGAR TOWN - Nice atmosphere.
THE JUNKYARD - It sounds like something is coming..
OCEAN is a beautiful ambient! (Listening to this track, I wanted to drown)
MOTHER is Long, beautiful, soulful and dreamy)
THE BUBBLES TOOK YOU -oh no....
In general, it is a beautiful ambient) Thank you >

Very relaxing! Almost brought me to a moment of wanting a nap. Really great job :D
You definitely weren't kidding when you said the tracks were atmospheric! Like the comment below me says, I'd have to say my favorite song would be "MOTHER." It's so meditative and the strings on it are also really beautiful! That's not to say I don't like the other songs, tho. All of them are so peaceful and relaxing to listen to!
Overall some really nice relaxing and atmospheric tracks, nicely done!
That's all I have to say really, have an amazing day :D
VERY cohesive entry, and so relaxing! I could spend hours sailing and diving to this OST. MOTHER is my favorite track, but they're all so floaty and enjoyable.
Nice work!
Atmospheric is a great way to describe this OST. It is fully committed to the sound throughout.
I like the choice of timbre you made here. Really reflects the image well.
Favorite Track: MOTHER (love the strings)
Thank you so much!! (MOTHER is my favorite too :])
Some of those analog synth sounds you got sound nice and warm! The charm with this track for me is the warmness def! I lowkey miss this sound sometimes in the modern age of digital stuff, this was a nice throwback bro be proud of this!
Thank you so much for enjoying!! One of my dreams is to make one of those rlly old-style rpg games, haha :]
I commend you for trying out atmospheric despite being unfamiliar with it. The genre was and still is my weakness lol. I feel you've got a pretty solid grasp on it though.
I think the thing that'll help push you further is to select different instruments for different purposes/frequency ranges as that'd make it easier for each of them to pop out. Don't be afraid to pan more stuff to the left or right as well. Last thing, "ACROSS THE SEA" is clipping a bit throughout, thought I'd let you know!
Side note; I initially read "CORAL TOWN" as "Coral Crown" and thought it was a Hades 2 song for a sec there haha.
Thank you so much for the advice— I rlly appreciate it :> this was my first FULLY atmospheric ost, and I'm really glad it's decent !!
This entire soundtrack is one hell of a vibe! All the tracks are good, and I especially enjoyed the last 3.
The half produced sound works really well, and I can easily imagine fitting in a high quality indie game without much alteration.
All the different parts of each track work together to create the feel of underwater bliss very well! The melodies are really well written, and again, thew vibes are immaculate!
Awesome ost!
Thank you so much!!! I'm glad what I was going for made it's way through ^^ !!
