The hand played piano adds a ton to the track! It is super expressive and the sound quality feels like a memory which is super fitting and pretty!

Thanks for your sweet comment! I used this preamp/microphone to record myself at my piano and set up the microphone close to the half-open lid of the piano.

Short and sweet, but both of these were absolutely gorgeous. No notes except for the fact I would love to hear a full soundtrack from you one day, because you have a really incredible style!

Lost in Space - Pixcele

I love the piano in shore of forgotten memories. That's great work and good playing. Underwater City has a pretty, lush sound. I don't know if your samples allow you to control the expression of the strings but if you could I think it would help it be even more evocative. Thanks for making and sharing.

Really nice orchestration in "The underwater city" and nice interpretation of the piano in the second track! Overall, I liked the harmony and will behind the music!

This needs more people rating it. Loved both tracks. Awesome job on this!

What strings did you use in "The Underwater City"? They sound great.

Thanks, I'm glad you and others liked it! I used the free BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover vst plugin for both strings and woodwinds.

I LOVE Shore of Forgotten Memories! That beautiful raw piano paired with the ocean waves gave me Kingdom Hearts 1 vibes. Incredible stuff!

TIDES OF FATE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Great job on the piano. The ocean waves in the background really helped give the right vibe. I could definitely see that as early-game dialogue music in an RPG of this style.

OST Jam #7 Submission - Inside My World

Woah Shore of Forgotten Memories goes hard. Emotions-filled track, I even wondered if it was Live recorded? There's great velocity on the notes. Enjoyed both of the tracks, but the second stuck out. Great job!
