Description
The music for June's Memory is a mix of orchestral and electronic music. There are 10 tracks in total, 8 of them loopable, 1 longer length track that's ends without looping, and a full rock song meant to be the end credits.
I used Cubase, a Matrixbrute, a eurorack modular synthesizer, and lots of sample libraries.
The writing process started with the song first (track 10) then I wrote the other instrumental ideas around the general concept of the song. That led to the idea of a character named June who's a young girl having recalling a day with her mom.
In the youtube link, I put together a series of ai generated images and text telling the story alongside the music. I hope you listen to it in that context! I think it's the best way to get the idea across.
Message from the artist
I hope the story I made makes some kind of impact on you, no matter how small the impact might be. Thanks for listening!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Without telling too much about the story, the concept is that June is remembering a day she had with her mom. Inside My World i changed to Inside My Mind for the sake of rhyming with "Mind" rather than "World."
There are many other connections to the theme like the beach, a festival which might explain the childs traditional clothing, the mysterious figure june is holding hands with, and many other concepts within the picture.

Hi there, those are just great. Great storytelling through your music and notes in the video. The "pacing" in all the tracks were great, so thank you for your very complete submission ! Loved track 9 and 10 !! You totally nailed it with the voice.
What I was unsure through the OST, what kind of game did you imagined ? During the OST, I thought some musics really fitted a visual novel.
Thanks so much! Almost didn’t add the last track because it’s hard for me to hear my voice lol but I did anyways. I appreciate you listening!
This soundtrack has the best composition out of everything I’ve heard so far! Good job!
That’s super nice of you to say! Thank you for listening to it!
Kuddos for having a song in the OST! It's such a nice touch to an already extremely solid soundtrack!
Thanks Franco! I’m glad you think so! I almost didn’t add it
Crazy how you have so many tracks but all of them are really nice! Great work here!!
Thank you for checking it all out! Glad you liked all of it!
The continuity, instrument choice, and storytelling!! *Chef's Kiss*
My personal favorites are the Title Track (June's Theme), Wake Up June!, The Festival, and An Almost Answered Prayer (ofc Inside My Mind too, but I can't just say all of them, haha!)
Thank you! It was really fun. I’m happy that you liked it. I feel like I rushed quite a bit so it’s nice to know it worked out ok.
