Description
Note: The mp3 we uploaded for the Main Theme was corrupted and had to delete it, but I cannot re-upload :( Please listen through YouTube!

The game we pictured is an RPG about starting a journey and leaving one's hometown. While traveling in a train and watching the landscape, a bubbly drink starts evoking nostalgic memories and transports you to a dreamy world.

For composition, we looked for inspirations in Nintendo and Lo-Fi music, then gave it our own twist.

We used Logic Pro as our DAW, using virtual instruments and synths.

Message from the artist
Hope you enjoy our work!

Theme

Inside my world
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
We tried to use "dreamy" sounds, bubbles and a mixture of major and lydian sounds.

Beautiful, retro, nostalgic, large-scale and an incredible number of uses of effects that make me fall in love with your soundtrack! To be honest, I don't even know what else I can say, heh...

thanks)

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! 🥹

This is really nice! The dream aesthetic and vibes are definitely there and is very pleasant to listen to. One thing to note though is that I think you've went a bit overboard with the panning, so many instruments felt off centered and is coming from everywhere, which you might want to do but not for every instrument, just some that you want to pop out, or maybe try experimenting with the tremolo effect so that it pans both left and right. But overall well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! 

I started learning about music production just recently, so knowing these tips is super helpful (I'm probably making so many rookie mistakes). I'll def be more conservative with panning on our next song.

Glad you could enjoy our work anyways :)

These were so pretty! I do think that both songs were a tad too heavy on the left ear and it was giving me a bit of fatigue.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We are just getting into music production, I will surely keep this in mind for the next one.

This sounds great! Train of Thoughts is definitely my favorite. I think it matches the theme super well especially the bubbles and under water part . Great Job!

Developer

Thanks! Happy you liked it :)
