Description
This soundtrack has been composed in Ableton Live with an emotional fictional game in mind, based in the story of a girl and her deceased mother. In the game we have the oportunity to live her story and search within the world of this girl to experiencie her memories and feelings, taking a journey about love, happines, loss, grieving, innocence and rembering with love the ones who are not here with us anymore. The idea is for the player to have an oportunity to experience complex emotions of loss, love and healing.

In terms of composition and arrangement, i felt really inspired by the artwork by @kawaakar._ It made me think of a couple references that i love like the soundtracks from Studio Ghibli´s films, Okami, Pokemon HeartGold SoulSilver, and I intended to use sounds like piano, marimba, celeste, strings, woodwinds and percussions.

Reencuentros (Menu Title): This is a sweet title theme that works really well for an opening screen. It flows and doesn’t feel like it is rigidly following a metronome which helps with the humanness, intimacy, and flowy vibes. I can hear your Studio Ghibli and Pokemon influences already!

Mañanas: This piano pattern is very reflective and feels like a closely guarded emotion. The gentleness of the piano is great for an early level in your game.

Imaginar: There is a strong sense of youthful energy in this song and I think it would accompany a scene in which the young protagonist is running through a town and greeting its inhabitants perfectly. I imagined a Studio Ghibli-style cut-scene for this. I love the emotions you convey with the choices you made for your chord progression. I really enjoyed this track!

Burbujas y Peces: Many people that I’ve listened to (myself included) conveyed a sense of being underwater with big synthesized sounds. What is striking about this track is that you used completely acoustic instrumentation and nailed the vibe of the image. That takes creativity and you did this very skillfully.

Entre tus Brazos: This is a beautiful piano theme. It sounds like a live performance. Very wonderfully-written. Thank you for sharing this intimate emotional experience!

Corrientes: This is very different from the previous track, and now I’m ready for some conflict! Again I’m impressed with your use of mostly mallets, piano, and acoustic percussion to capture the vibe of a watery conflict!

Dentro de Mi Mundo: The soft piano at the beginning is very beautiful, like Entre tus Brazos. I wasn’t expecting the strings, but it felt like a very impactful emotional climactic moment and was very cinematic. This is a great emotional peak to your soundtrack!

Reencuentros: Another beautiful piano track that ties your whole story together very nicely!

Overall: Your piano tracks were my favorite - you have a talent for capturing very intimate emotions through your playing and captivating the listener. I really loved the use of mallets and percussion as well to convey the watery setting in a creative way. Well done - thank you so much for sharing!

A very nice album to listen to. Mananas is so chill and ambiant, my favorite of all. Thank you for sharing!

Sweet album, my favourite is Reencuentros, nicely composed. In Dentro De Mi Mundo I think the transition is a bit too brutal adding a transition element would help. Some tracks the mix feel very quiet I think you can boost a little bit. Good job !

"corrientes" era mi favorita!! ^_^

really lovely work, strong right out the gate

My favorite track was Imaginar. It was just so peppy and fun!

Nice work with this, very cinematic soundtrack! Entre Tus Brazos was very pretty and delicate. I also enjoyed the subtle (and sometimes more overt) sounds of water coming in throughout the mix, especially in Corrientes where you used them almost like another percussion instrument with its swish, cymbal-like quality. Great work!

Buenísimo! Un trabajo coherente en todas sus canciones  y con buen sonido también. Tienes una sonoridad bien inmersiva y buena mezcla/elección de instrumentos. A ratos emocionante, a veces relajante, y a en otros temas más aventurero/épico. Mi favorito fue Corrientes,  muy bueno el groove en el piano. Se nota que le puso cariño! Felicidades, saludos desde Viña del Mar :)

This was a good album!! I am a big fan of the piano tracks!

Submitted

I have to admit that I have same affection for the references you mentionned :) chilhood memories <3

Very soothing and lovely soundtrack. I was imerged in those dreamy Ghibli scenes and pokemon exploration contemplative moments :)

 It would have been great if some of these songs had been developped a bit cause there's great potential in my opinion. 

Dentro de mi mundo is my favorite! (May be because of the unexpected developpement here ;))


PS : may be you should try tu put your Ost in a playlist format on Soundcloud. It's easy and it helps the listener to gzt everything withcone single link. I had to go back and forth to check the order as the tracks are randomly spread on your soundcloud.

Lovely soundtrack. Great orchestration and impressive piano work throughout. I hear the influences you mentioned. I loved the syncopation of Corrientes, which was a fun change. I only wish some of the tracks were longer and had a chance to develop and move! But as brief impressions they hit the mark. Thanks for making and sharing.

I'm very humbled by your words thank you so much!! for taking the time to hear and analyze  the music, I´m really glad you liked it :D! And I absolutely agree I wish I had more time to develop the tracks before the deadline, but it was a really fun challenge never the less hahaha I hope to be able to develop this project more in the future. Thank you for your input and kindness, wish you the best!!

This is a really fantastic soundtrack. Each track sounds super professional and cohesive with the next. I'm not lying when I say I can imagine these in a Pixar movie (or a Pixar-like game.) Great work, keep it up!
