Description
Genres: Atmospheric, ambient, Soundtrack
Software: FL Studio 20
The soundtrack can be played where the player explores the (open) world: the cliffs and the monumental arc. The world is a quiet, large and mysterious place, where some dangers will appear.
I started creating atmospheric voices (wind, ambient pads). Then I decided which instruments will be played at this time. The instruments are supported by drumming. I decided to use the E minor key, because of the moodiness and the mystery of this place (and the game).
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
This place is large (large reverb) and quiet and lonely. It has got a mystery (red and black screen). I tried to use mysterious instruments and a moody minor key to reach this emotion. The drumming represents the tension and the adventure of this journey of this game.

a vibe!
That choir part at the end is very immersive!
Nice soundtrack! Reminded me a bit of Santaolala's style, congratulations for the work
Thank you! :)
This piece has a very cool ambiance emanating from it! Sometimes it felt like the melody was slightly out of sync with the rest of the song, but otherwise, I could totally imagine the sort of level I would put this in :D
Thank you for your feedback! In which kind of level would you put this song? ^^
From the vibes I'm getting I was definitely thinking like a wasteland level after some big battle has been fought, and after like a cut to black and couple of seconds of silence/only wind ambience, this starts playing :o
I like the crispness of your snare drum & instruments in general, though your melody doesn't really strike me as "iconic", if that makes sense (it feels more rhythmic). That's not a critique, as rhythmic melodies certainly have a place in OSTs, but IMO having an easily-memorable melody can help your submission stand out more.
Thank you for your feedback! :)
