Message from the artist
hi :v
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Some songs are meant to invoke nostalgia-- like despite the world being so clearly different from earth, we the players can't help but feel like we've seen it before,
Some songs invoke the opposite feeling. It is meant to emphasis how accustomed we are to our comfort zones, and how we might see things as chaotic in unfamiliar situations.

As soon as it started I had a feeling Ol' atlantis was probably gonna be my favorite and it was. It nailed the indie game vibe perfectly in my opinion!
This was really charming, I think you approached so many different ideas well enough that they all sounded like part of a cohesive soundtrack to me, which is quite impressive! I think The Cyber Effect was my favourite, it reminded me of some of DJ Nates Music (Theory Of Everything 2 was the one that came to mind) and I was groovin the whole way through. I did really like aftermath, as your harmonies were so pretty but I think if you were to make the mix a bit wider ti might help give those strings a fuller sound, using panning to spread out some of your harmonic lines and place them in different spots of the listeners ear will help them stand out more! Excellent work overall :)
I like the sound design and orchestration for these pieces, and Cyber Effect is a total banger!
Afterlife feels a little out of place sonically compared to the rest of the tracks. I think if you added some synthesized elements towards the end, or maybe slowly transformed the whole instrumentation to electronic throughout the piece it would tie in with the rest of the tracks really well and make a great transition into Cyber Effect.
Overall, I really enjoyed your submission! Cyber Effect slaps, Little White Bunny is chill, and Ol' Atlantis has a nice finality to it. Afterlife was a good composition, it just needed a little something to tie it in with everything else. Good work!
It would have bit nice to have a bit more context theme and game wise to deepen the listening experience.
Despite some comments I've seen, I liked the tone of Aftermath, an aftermath doesn't necessarlily implies big drums or a dramatic tone, at least to me. I liked your experimentation with chord progressions :) It gave me a sense of wide perspective from afar.
The Cyber Effect bangs man!
The last track was a good mix of what was heard before thematically.
Nice job :)
You've done well in creating great ambiances! Like the nostalgia in "Oi' Atlantis" and the rhythm in "the Cyber effect"! I may not really feel the aftermath with such major harmonies though.
Aftermath - very enjoyable string instruments, sounds really cheerful for an aftermath of an apocalypse though...
The Cyber Effect - very cyberpunk! has a lot of action in it, could be used as battle theme too maybe?
LWR - nice walking bass, dark piano, the 3/4 tempo gives it a sophisticated feel, and it does sound fittingly grim. Turns into a haunted mansion theme, gets real spicy at the end
Ol' Atlantis - mixes robotic synths with more gentle instruments like pianos and bells (I think those are bells?), really fits the description, my favorite track by far
Overall a really nice soundtrack! Well done!
