This! This is the type of music I fancy, unBELIEVABLE combination of ambience & electronic sounds. It all blends so well.
Personal favorite is Find Myself, that pluck synth in the background makes everything just so good, can't really explain it but it's perfect :D

Description
Storyline: Mia is a 24-year-old art student who starts to dream the same thing over and over again. In her dream she is 8 years old, and appears in a kind of magical forest that looks like the drawings she made when she was little. In order to sleep peacefully again she needs to heal the traumas of her childhood that are presented in her dream, but if she lets herself be carried away by anger she will wake up, and she will have to try all over again.
Genre/style: Platformer, roguelike, pixel art.
Tracks
Title: Music that plays in the game menu, represents Mia's journey back to her childhood, where she finds everything she felt as a little girl.
Find Myself: Music that appears in the first zone of the dream, is where most of Mia's good childhood memories are presented. It represents the pure soul of Mia as a little girl.
Evil Thoughts: This music is presented in one of the most advanced areas of the dream, Mia has to deal with the intrusive thoughts that haunt her from her past to her present.
A mix of lofi, with ambient and electronic music. Composed and produced in Cubase.
Message from the artist
So happy to participate in this jam!
Theme
Inside my world
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
Both the photo and the theme were a strong inspiration to imagine this game. I tried to use sounds and chord progressions that evoked a dreamy (and sometimes aquatic) mood, that also matched the color palette (or rather the perception we give to those colors), and that at the same time produced strong emotions, like the one we can see on the girl's face. I also wanted to experiment with a kind of lofi style to evoke the nostalgia a person feels when connecting with their childhood, since in the plot of my imaginary game the protagonist meets a child version of herself, and her deepest emotions.
