Description
The track i compose is an ambient orchestral ballad, the DAW i utilized was Reaper. The game I imagined is an emotional and narrative journey.

Message from the artist
I actually had a very busy week with various demands. Most of the time, I was more thinking about what I wanted to do rather than putting it into practice.

Theme

Inside my world
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I took advantage of the text theme "Inside my world" to bring something more introspective. Saudade means the feeling of missing something or someone; I tried to bring this dreaminess and nostalgia into the composition. In the end, "Saudade Lullaby" seems simple but has a heavy pinch of chaos, with a strong ambience and the sound of water dripping, almost reminiscent of the sound of tears.

Such a good atmosphere, the nostalgic saudade feeling is absolutely there. Really nice!

I liked the low parts but they were really quiet so they were difficult to hear.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I tried to bring a minimalistic approach, but I'll work on bringing up the volume in those quieter parts. Glad you liked them!

The saudade hit me with this one. Simple, but effective and good vibes.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy to hear the "saudade" I tried to captivate came through. Appreciate you taking the time to listen to it!

Youre Welcome. I play classical guitar and have a soft spot for Brasilian music.

Lovely little piece, nothing complicated, simple works sometimes. I think everything can be a tad louder in the mix but good job !

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the simplicity. I'll definitely keep the volume adjustment in mind for next time. Appreciate it!

I guess there would be many ways to express Saudade musically.

Your take on it is sublte and work well. It is very evocative, there is no moment where it goes sad, or grand, or dramatic. So I think you captured that feeling in your own way quite well!

Too bad there is no other song to give nice context to this great expression of Saudade :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the subtlety.

This is a good piece. Very reminiscent of the OST's of Minecraft & Stardew Valley , but still it's own thing.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!!

Pienso que evoca muy bien lo que describiste mediante texto.

El sentimiento de pérdida como también de ir sin rumbo está muy bien logrado. Lamento que hayas tenido una semana ocupada porque me gustaría escuchar más de este OST.

Gran trabajo, sigue así!

Developer

Thanks for the support!!

The pad like piano in the background gives me strong Minecraft feels! Really dig the almost contemplative vibes, great work!

Developer

Thank you so much, really glad you appreciated it. :)))

I have felt that moment when you have lost something and is stuck on your mind and you seek solitude to let yourself be flooded by the feeling.


Good job

Developer

wow, thanks for the feedback
