What an original take on the theme! Very nice blending of textures, it works surprisingly well with the "decaying synths" you used. Great job!
That's a really interesting concept! Could be something like BOTW x Cyberpunk
I like the idea of doing a sort of post-cyberpunk theme. I think it's great that your track starts immediately with a flute and as a listener, I'm in your strange world right away.
It also matches this jam picture perfectly. It has this retro, 90s gaming style. It reminds me of a kind of blend of the past and future worlds from Chrono Trigger. Really cool entry! :)
Really cool interpretation of the theme! I can definitely imagine a game with this soundtrack in the background :)
I really like your take on the theme! Mixing “natural” sounding instruments with synths is always a lot of fun.
The flute was definitely an evocative choice to symbolize “nature,” and I think it works pretty well.
Also good on you for embracing dissonance! The detuned synths are definitely a little creepy and threatening. :)
Yet again, very clever! I love the idea that nature will reclaim cities no matter how high-tech they are. It's an intriguing concept that implies something terrible happened, but a long time ago. And the song has an almost wistful nature. I like how the role of the flute is replaced by a synth at 0:48. Some percussion might have sounded good, but it works just fine without it too. Nice one :)
That flute in the beginning was the last instrument I expected. Really fits "nature". What an awesome twist on the theme!
I love this concept! It's very original and your choice of instruments is perfect for it. The only thing about the track that bothers me a bit is the repeating wind instrument in the first section, it gets a bit grating when listening on headphones, I would perhaps tone it down a bit. For the rest I really liked it! :) Your track has the particular charm of good tracker music, I love that.
Cool combination of sounds here! Good work!
Interesting and cool idea. Definitely a unique take on the theme. Could imagine exploring such a world with this background theme. Nice work!
Definitely sounds like it would fit the game you described. There are a lot of great ideas in the track and it stays fresh throughout while being unobtrusive which I think is important for games. I especially like the original concept and you nailed the exploration game vibes.
I really like that you combined folk instruments with synths! This type of ambience would fit an exploration game very well!
I never would have thought of these instrument combos, it works surprisingly well! Good job on this
I really like the sound of this one, with the folky and cyberpunk styles. Super cool idea.
