What a cool work!!!!
You certainly know how to give each moment what it needs musically. I had 11 opportunities to confirm it I also really liked your sound, I'd like to know what synthesizers you have used.
Great work!
Hey... is that a long soundtrack...? I LOVE LONG SOUNDTRACKS!
Intro - I can feel someone's hand, soothing voices and bubbles) I especially liked the gradual build up and the abrupt drop at the end)
Menu Theme - Chiptune+piano+...COFFEMACHINE WITH LEGS?!
Main Theme - Good... and this one is sad. Is it time to cry in space?
Friend Theme - Yay! FRIENDS!
Rest - A well deserved rest... I'm happy!
Fight Theme - Huh... That's pretty cool! A combination of "broken" guitar with mettalic riffs, choruses, orchestra music and crazy rhythm.... I love it!
Distress - I'm feeling stressed... TIME TO RUN
A Departure Of A Friend - Goodbye, Friend... I'll never forget you
Fractal - Help...
Takeoff - I'm starting to cry... Despite the hilarity in the second half of the track... I'm sad
Void - Thank you. This is the first creepy ambient track that made me start crying....
I loved it! Thanks for the exciting journey)
Great vibes in this, there's a blend of innocence with a sort of quirky off-kilter quality, everything is of a piece and it all works perfectly.
Great variety of tracks and a good narration development! Nice submission!
So much done is so little time, impressive work overall. The whole OST sounds awesome, and it's definitely something I could see in a game. Great job!
I really liked the bell instrument you used in fractal!
Sooo cool soundtrack! lot of variety on the ideas, lot of personality, If you tell me that that game really exist and this is the real OST of the game I would believe it.
Nice job with it, I hope you get more reviews and comments, you deserve!
My advice for you is to listen to as much entries you can and comment on them to get more visibility.
Keep going and good luck! 😁
For how many tracks you did, I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of each one. Takeoff was my favorite track, sounds like a perfect blend of an rpgmaker track and indie pop. Good job!
You did a lot with minimal elements, and you should be proud of this submission! The highlights for me are definitely Distress and Void, and overall I think this is a really great entry! Well done!
The compositional aspects are really good. The melodies are catchy, and the way you develop your arrangements are very satisfying. I enjoyed the plucky sounds towards the beginning of the soundtrack - they really signify humble beginnings. The audio storytelling between Takeoff and Void is so vivid that I can imagine the story just from the sounds alone. Departure of a Friend is my favorite track - you really nailed the harmonies towards the end there. Lovely soundtrack!
Love the 5/4 on Fractal(think that's what it is anyway.) I really like the mix of more acoustic xylephone-esque instruments with the synths.
I think the weakest point is the guitar sounding a little rough at times. Compared to how polished everything else sounds, it doesn't hold up (in my humble opinion.)
Overall, its really great I'd say. Awesome composition.
Very lovely soundtrack! I wish you'd described more about each individual song on the description, but I gotta say I quite enjoyed it. Despite not having many instruments overall, I could feel the protagonist's many emotions throughout it all. The way a lot of the tracks cross-fade into each other is a lovely touch! However, there is a lack of familiarity between each track - all of them felt like a different story was being told, and, from what I could hear, not many motifs were presented that could have been repeated throughout the OST. Fav. track: A departure of a friend.
Thank you. This is actually my first OST so what you tell me means a lot to me. I did not have the descriptions of the songs at the moment so maybe now it helps you correlate them better. I really like that A departure of a friend is your favorite song because it is really important to the development of the protagonist.
Very cool ideas that are catchy and interesting. However I've feld sometimes a bit bored with some of the tracks since they didn't go enywere else besides the main idea (was mostly the part for some of the first tracks). Nether the less the whole projekt has a cool vibe and has quite a variaty of quite good Ideas. I realy enjoyed listening to it.
