Description
Hi, my fictional game which I have based my OST on is a melancholic rollercoaster diving through a young boys mind in seek of freedom and meaning. I was inspired by GRIS and that feeling of drifting and longing it expresses.
Chosen Theme:
I chose "Inside my world"
1st Track (An Endless Dream)
This first track is meant to represent the start of adventure with a whole world waiting to be uncovered and the anticipation of that.
2nd Track (Horizon of Hope)
My second track is a flavor of the first however we have moved along and jumped into this new world, curiosity and wonder fill the air. It is no longer a dream but becoming reality.
3rd Track (Last Goodbye)
This 3rd track is meant to represent the hardship, sadness and longing of a home you miss. It's about finding the courage to push on despite the challenges and tribulations thrown your way.
I designed the tracks with FL Studio and used music from GRIS as the aesthetic for them (in particular the first track).

I would love these tracks to be used by others.
Message from the artist
Please enjoy my orchestral pieces.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
My pieces reflect the struggle and longing of a boy which is all inside his own head and through my pieces he is taken on a journey of self discovery.
I feel this is very appropriate considering this is about a dreaming boy exploring his own mindscape as that itself is his world that he explores.
The orchestral take was done to be able to connect the theme with the audience as one could reference shows like final space, adventure time and at the same time the influence of GRIS to see how orchestral music is great for slower paced moods and serene sets which brings to life the scenes orchestral music is used in.

very unique! based
Loved the choir stingers!
Wow... it was the most unusual effect that I experienced when listening to music... Your soundtrack is LITERALLY mesmerizing... I don't even know what else I can say here... Cool, dude!
I admire your skills with orchestral music, huh)
Hey there! Really enjoyed listening to all the tracks! They were all so heavy-hitting and can definitely see how they would fit into an emotional rollercoaster story game.
Some things I specifically really liked were the choirs that appeared in the tracks, the short swells really added an epic feel to it.
I also loved the bass in each track, made every song sound super powerful!
And finally, the different types of bells you used in some sections were beautiful.
Again, well done with these tracks and best of luck :)
Lovely soundtrack! Loved the hope and nostalgic kind of vibes that proposes.
Very cool the break you made at 1:16 when you let the piano alone, nice detail.
Great job!
Cinematic and emotionally resonant! Love the builds in your tracks, and how they lead to wide orchestrations. Ostinatos with strings might be cool to add to those sections, to add to that sky atmosphere you have to add to the lovely expansion. Great work!
I liked the orchestral arrangement for your tracks, I also liked that you combined the piano keys of the first song and the emotional horn at the second song together to tie around the 3rd song. it gives a sense of finality and closure to your track
Nice composition, I like the ideas, chord progression is great. Only the mix sometimes its getting too busy the brass are getting killed by all the other pads and the piano playing just sound a bit too "robot" don't be afraid to use sustain on it.
Great orchestration! Horizon of Hope's progression is really nice and emotive, a perfect reflection of the title. Good work!
Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate that
This is amazing! Would love to see a game using these tracks!!
