Description
Both soundtracks fall under the ambient and electronic genres. The game I envisioned for these soundtracks is set within the chaotic dream of a deep sleeper experiencing the harsh cold of winter. The sleeper becomes trapped in their mind due to a coma and must navigate and survive the horrors within their mind palace. The track "one friendly intruder" is supposed to represent a boss encounter with a familiar real life figure and its twisted intentions. The other track "mist and nails and" I imaged would play after the intro sequence where the player is thrown into the first area of the game.
Both tracks were first notated through Musescore and then I exported the midi into Ableton.

Message from the artist
my hands are cold :>

Theme

Inside my world

How does it fit the theme?
The soundtracks surround the idea of a dream, a world of the dreamer.

Pretty and dreamlike. Felt extremely clean and controlled, I really REALLY enjoyed both songs! I wish the mastering was a bit louder but otherwise great entry!

Mist and Nails: I really like the pulsing electric piano chords and vocals overlying the harpsichord melody. It creates such a unique environment that certainly would make sense accompaniment the mind of a chaotic dreamer.

One Friendly Intruder: I love the use of the 12/8 time signature for these types of rapid boss encounters because it allows for so much flexibility to change the pace as needed. This has the contrast of energetic lines with an intimate and reserved sound which I think lends itself to musical manifestation of the theme. Overall nice work on these and thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for listening! I attempted to make it loopable while keeping it interesting or simple (which was a battle). (❁´◡`❁)

Nice atmosphere and sick piano riff on the second one. Great job on this!

I can't believe this doesn't have more ratings. The mix gives such a good hazy vibe while still being so clear. Absolutely nailed.
