Description
The soundtrack is a bit chiptuney, but with audio recordings and effects to give it a bit more space.
I was inspired by the game 'Sea of Stars', specifically Doccari Village. So when I was composing this music I had that game in mind as extra inspiration. I imagine the fictional game 'Inside My World' to be similar in vibe and art style.
I wrote 3 tracks: "Title" which is the title screen tune, "Under Water Conversations" which plays during talking cutscenes, and "Under Water World Theme" which is a theme tune for an area of the game.
I composed using Ableton Live 10, and utilised synth and audio recordings.

Message from the artist
Please enjoy the music :)

The title theme has such a nice vibe to it; gentle yet progressive. Great choice of instruments here - they all complement one another and weave between each other. Nice job on the orchestration, too - does exactly what it needs to to bolster the rest of the instruments in the mix.

Under Water Conversations nails the underwater vibe; dreamy spaciousness with just the right amount of top end. Pleasant melody here, kept nice and simple to really drive home that floating feeling. I like the choice of patch for the pad below leading the progression.

Finally, Under Water World Theme is gorgeous off the bat. A nice rounded arpeggio to kick things off and then that familiar soft-synth atop guiding the lead tones. Having the arpeggio open up a little more as the track progresses is a nice touch and the bounciness of it does a great job of emulating that floating deeper and deeper feeling. The more elaborate voicings toward the end are great too, prevents melody fatigue.

Great work all in all, solid selection of 3 tracks that all execute on the theme really well. Production is perfect too, no issues on my end.  Best of luck! :)

Very nice work!! I thought it went very well with the image. The way you mixed it and the timbres even sound like the pastel tones in the image. I liked how you used the leitmotif to talk between the tracks. Very good work, congratulations!!

So cosy and dreamlike! I really like this and feel like it perfectly with both prompts. Nice job!

Love the dreamlike lead in the first track! The underlying chords with the pad fleshes out a lovely soundscape! A beautiful motif in the second track! The tone you have in the arp part on the third track is so good! You’ve created a very consistent sounding OST and I can definitely picture it in the game you described! Well done!!

The repeating, oscillating arpeggios present a sense of calm and ease, representing the image very well. The mixture of synthesis and recorded audio lends an ethereal and ambiguous quality to the tracks, obfuscating their origin and creating sonic interest. Solid work.
