Description
I wanted to create a playful and atmospheric underwater journey. Each track was made in fl studios using East West Opus for more realistic sounds!
How does it fit the theme?
The underwater atmosphere as well as the lively bubbles

This was so pretty, i think the instrumentation helped create such a light airy feel, and I loved the use of that repeated melody across the two songs!
Thank you for noticing my leitmotif :D
I loved the string instrument you used! I don't know what it's called exactly but it was beautiful!
Polished and nails the underwater dream feel. Liked it!
It's very pretty and adventurous! On top of that the sounds are also high quality and the mixing is great! Nice job man! <3
Great job! I love how the music progresses throughout the track rather than just staying situated on the same loops. This is a sign of thoughtful composition
LOVELY PIECES!
Beautiful sound that goes perfect with your cover art and very cool harmony (reminds me a bit of Disney kind of harmony) and THAT arrangement, wow! Can I ask you what strings did you use? and what instrument is the one that sounds at 0:22?
Very well done!!
I used East West Orchestra Opus for the strings. It does cost money to purchase the whole package, but I signed up for the student ComposerCloud+ which gave me all of their instruments free for a month. After it's like $10 per month.
That's awesome!! Thank you very much for telling me!!
Also the instrument around 0:22 is called an erhu. I was inspired by Tears of the Kingdom's music to use that instrument!
Lovely composition, love the strings and woodwind combination in Morning bubble. Mix is pretty good only a couple of mid frequencies to cut in the piano would help and put some brightness in the chimes ! Well done !
Thank you for the feedback!
Oh my, this is beautiful and just amazing. Love it. Feels like I am under the water. Great work! Both songs fit the theme so well.
Thanks :D
Okay... I literally wanted to drown in that soundtrack.
Morning Bubbles has beautiful flutes! Love your underwater fairy tale atmosphere)
Thank you!
Sea of Dreams flows so well, nice job!!
Wow you really outdid yourself with Morning Bubbles, absolutely fantastic!!!!
Great tracks! "Morning Bubbles" is so rich in instrumentation and melodic ideas, really liked it!
hope this gets more visibility soon, pretty underrated at the time of writing this comment. sea of dreams in particular is super intimate and majestic.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
Sea of Dreams is absolutely drenched in reverb and moodiness, I love it. Haunting, as wt64 said, but not in the ominous sense. I love the articulation of the playing, almost as though it's bobbing on the water surface, dipping below every once in a while.
Morning Bubbles is great, too. Very nice arrangement and the harmonies are on point. Good distribution of the various orchestral sections as well - it never feels as though the winds are trying to overpower the strings and vice-versa. Very tastefully done, great job!
Thank you so much for your accolades! Are there any areas of improvement for either songs? Just curious.
Nothing in particular springs to mind - I think the levelling in Morning Bubbles could be tweaked somewhat as it does get quite loud around the middle and end sections of the track. A minor issue in the grand scheme of things, and it is a production related fix at that. I think both are genuinely fantastic and I'd only be nitpicking to find some issues!
Yeah I noticed the pads were a bit loud after I uploaded. Thanks for your feedback!
Wow this is really beautiful!!I'm surprised this doesn't have more feedback yet, but super lush harmonies, and the melody is kind of haunting in a way that feels really unique to me honestly. I found the progressoin/melody very recognizable, and really well done reduced in the title theme. Great production quality/dynamics. Could definitely go well on many films, and I'd love to hear a whole soundtrack on it!
Thank you so much!!
