Description
The soundtrack is orchestral with synths.
The game I had in mind was about someone going on a mini adventure, which overall had a lighthearted tone. The picture didn't show any threat, so I wanted to try and depict that.
The first song sets the start of the adventure.
The second is more of a transition to ease the listener.
The third is more of an ambient song as the main character takes in their surroundings.
The fourth song is the finale of it all, simply ending their adventure.
I used FL Studio as my DAW.

Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Although I mainly used the picture theme, "Inside my world" still played a part in my creation. I wanted to represent the girl in the picture by using bells, which kind of feel innocent. The final song depicts this picture, where the girl has a reunion with the figure.

Yoohoo! A time of incredible combinations of musical instruments with an atmosphere of magic, fantasy, scale and electronics!
I liked it! Thanks)
beautiful mixture of different kinds of instruments to build your story! wonderfully crafted and accomplished. i particularly like your playful and nostalgic compositions to make the story feel intimate, and your tracks clearly connect with one another with similar instrumentation and ideas.
great work!!!!
The mixture of synths and orchestral instruments works very well it sounds great!
Very nice use of arps and melodies in all the tracks to create that dreamy feeling. Good orchestration and progression on the whole work; Reunion is bright and lighthearted, makes for a great finale. Enjoyed it!
Such a warm and grand feel that really resonates with your premise of the theme. Great job!
I love your use of synths in an orchestral fashion. It reminds me of some of the music I used to make when I was first getting into FL studio- very grand and free. You fit the theme very well- and I definitely got the vibe that you were going for- however, I think in your pursuit to tie the tracks together into a coherent package, they did end up sounding a little similar to each other in form. I think you may have benefited from combining these tracks into one and blending between them naturally rather than separating it into four tracks. I very much enjoyed it though, you did a really great job!!!
Real nice ambiences with the pads and synths! Love the story told by the four tracks together!
I like how a similar arp sound ties the tracks together. The synth coming in during the climax of "Reunion" was very satisfying. Great work!
(Also your song "Goofy" played right after which was very funny)
This body of work has a very cinematic feel to it (especially on Reunion) which is really cool to hear. I like Discoveries the most as it sounds like you are underwater exploring which is a nice touch. Good work man!
Loved these tracks! Reunion was my favorite. Great composition and nice atmospheres you created. Well done!
This would be an awesome cozy video game to play!
"Reunion" is a very special track for me. It has a strength that is hard to describe in words.
Well done!
"Call to Adventure" has a nice, grand feel to it.
"Lost and Found" gets a little repetitive, though it could work in the context a quick cutscene of the protagonist finding an item. The pad layer adds warmth to the track.
"Discoveries" has a nice, gentle melody and I like the key shift. The arpeggios add some nice background texture.
"Reunion" was the best of the bunch imo. Starts a bit meloncholy before swelling into a more hopeful part. It then builds into the climax well which gives it a strong impact.
