Great work on these! I’m definitely getting the Ori inspiration. Each track has its own character which sets them all apart from each other nicely, I especially liked the third track, you developed the material quite well in that one.

Description
This is a an orchestral fakebit OST. I took inspiration from I took inspiration from Ori and the Blind Forest and Donkey Kong Country. I also took inspiration from artists like David Wise, Gareth Coker, and Disasterpiece's music. I love underwater levels and games so there are different sounds related to water sprinkled across these tracks. I used FL Studio 24 and worked on this project by myself.
Message from the artist
Thank you for listening to my music. It means a lot to share the songs I made with others!
Theme
Inside my world
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
The music was made to feel like an underwater adventure filled with wonder, which captures both the illustrated and text themes.

It's very "canonical", but I think you focused primarly in getting the theme and the mood right, and I think you succeeded.

Epic Biopici liked the underwater feel, and the percussion was a highlight! amazing work!

The Inner CityI absolutely loved your instrumentation choices. Each track had its own way of evoking an underwater world. Very clever use of that Chrono Trigger clock too!
Submitted
Delve WithinAbsolutely beautiful and 1000% feels like an underwater adventure filled with wonder as you said :3 I really like how in the Menu Selection Theme, it is calming, yet also gives a sense of time slowly ticking away that ties in with the story concept & the Shell Clock! Your cover art is absolutely gorgeous too :D
Thank you! I had a lot of fun making the "Menu Selection Theme" and playing around with the concepts present in the story. You picked up on the Shell Clock concept with the ticking clocks present in each track; I thought it would be an interesting thing to do.
Also, I'm glad you liked the cover art! I had to rush it a bit due to time constraints, but I'm happy I did it. Thanks again for the listen!
Really like the Main Theme, from the very first seconds it pulls you into its great atmosphere. Good work!

Before 7 AMI'm biased because I love orchestral, but this is incredible. Listening to your work felt like I was playing a relaxing yet epic game, such as Journey, but with more water.
Submitted
Ombre des NeigesWOW strong start already, really liked what you offered, a preference for the Main Theme that is super complete! Everything is super well mixed and balanced. Extremely impressive!
Submitted
Tsuya - OST Jam 07Loved the ambiences you created! And the dynamism of the first track very well thought!
Submitted
A Journey toward OriginsDamn starting off hard with the Main Theme, great orchestration, nice composition and mix sounds nice, percussions hits hard yet everything is really ambient. Good job !
Submitted
Two WorldsThis soundtrack felt very light throughout, in a relaxing yet grand way. I love how huge the main theme was , and how the menu selection music pulled back a bit, leading into you getting a more experimental sound from Seaside Castle and bringing everything back together and melding styles for the finale.
Really beautiful collection of tracks you've got here, well done!

The Cold Realm Withinthe leitmotif of the intro is very psychedelic, it immediately transports you into the world you tell. The textures of the water are beautiful and also the changes of mood studied between one song and another, they give a lot of variety 🙂
Submitted
Luna: Inside My WorldLove the approach you did for the theme, including the water textures, lovely string arrangement, ethic bits, and the fakebit leads. Can definitely hear the influences you mentioned through the composition. Nice job!
Submitted
Don Gi - Mothers Guidance (OST 7)Track 1 - from 0:05 to 0:17 there's just static. I tried redownloading it, but it was still there! =O
After scanning through it - I enjoy the style! Good job!
Submitted
Into My DepthsI really like the massive string sections you have in the first and last tracks, but my favourite has to be Seaside Castle. It has a really unique atmosphere to it, really feeling like some of the old SNES soundtracks (not just because of the use of the Final Fantasy VI soundfont). Great job!
Submitted
SEASOUL OSTReally nice orchestration and choice of instrumentation in this. Great layering throughout, particularly in Inside My World as it progresses and swells into a busier piece. Submitted with just 20 minutes to go, too - really down to the wire! Good work, and best of luck. :)

Discovery - SynlyfeI appreciate the kind words! My DAW kept crashing while exporting. I tracked the issue down to a mastering plugin but I was already in the last 15 minutes. I actually submitted this with 20 seconds to go because I didn't know about the 20 minute grace period for this jam. It was definitely stressful 😅. Thanks for listening!
This is some pretty great music. I love the fakebit style that you went for, and now I'm kinda mad I didn't do that lol. The atmosphere is great, and the mixing is downright perfect. Definitely captures the vibe of game idea you went for.

ReflectionsHey Marchen! Great music overall, you set very good atmospheres for all your tracks, makes it really easy to imagine what you're portraying with your music. Keep it up!
