Description
The genre of tracks is Orchestral. My game is one filled with vengeance and sadness. The first track begins with a overview of the world and everything is peaceful. The second track introduces the villain which destroys the utopia the hero was living in. The final track signifies vengeance leading to the end with the leit motif from the first track of the hero. I composed each track using free orchestral libraries and some Kontakt instruments as well. I don't have any premade loops and everything was created and composed by me. I used Ableton Live 11 for this composition project.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The soundtracks tell the story of the protagonist by taking the listeners through the hero's world. It is a journey through the ups and downs of the protagonist's life and how his world has changed so much after the destruction.

Heh... It was like watching a movie... Cool!
Dawn Of Devastation is my favorite. This sudden increase in dynamics from 0:44 gave me goosebumps. Heh)
I find your way of arrange very unique and effective. I don't quite understand what it is but I think it's the choice of instruments you made. And the truth is it sounds incredible!!
I think it works perfectly for the world that we can see in the cover art.
Simply amazing!!
Oooo the wooden clacks in the beginning of Witness the Beauty were nice!
Great use of instrumentation and arranging to bring a sense of tension and energy!
"Dawn of Devastation" was my favorite track ^_^
Good job!!
I thought your use of dynamics was very good!
fantastically produced pieces and cohesive. My favorite track was “Retribution’s Embrace”.
good tracks, I like them, I feel the battle mood.
Wonderful sound effects on the first track. It definitely gives me a good mystical ocean-y feeling. The percussion on the first track is super cool sounding, reminds me a little bit of some of the more percussion centered Halo (Marty O'D) tracks. The piano arpeggio through all of it was also really cool!
The second track was very different from the first, and the Vocals were a really pleasant surprise - were they actually recorded?
unfortunately, I couldn't download the third track for some reason, but I very much enjoyed 1 and 2!!!
Your three tracks are all so different from each other in terms of setting the mood, but then listening to all three in a row you can still tell they're all from the same project! You did really great with each of these tracks, awesome composition!
Loved the second half of "Witness The Beauty", had my head bobbin'.
As someone who used free orchestral libraries extensively for a long time, adding some more dynamics (especially to repeated staccatos like in "Dawn of Devastation") goes a long way to making them seem more real.
Great job!
I like the 3 different mood in each track traducing major changes. Dawn of devastation was dramatic and had a great progression :)
I could feel the determination of vengeance in the last track! Well done :)
I Really like the orchestration in Dawn of Devastation! The solo voice is just beautiful. Really nice writing!
You came up with a story, and you followed it through in your composition. Nice work!
