Description
This theme was composed for a sci-fi adventure game entitled “Morphing Worlds,” where you journey through a highly technologically advanced world after finding a portal connecting this realm to Earth.
My main ideas consisted of the organic, the more technological/digital realms of music, as well as the fusion of these elements.
This was reflected by the piece beginning with rich orchestral textures - representing the protagonist’s preparations on Earth before setting out on his journey. This shifts into synths and electronics as the protagonist travels through the portal, finding his way to a new world.
Software used includes:
Logic Pro X
Spitfire Audio - Olafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions
Spitfire Audio - Cinematic Frozen Strings
Noiiz - Singing Bells
Vital Free Synthesizer
Native Instruments - Gentleman Piano
Native Instruments - Battery 4
Heavyocity - Damage

I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot! Morphing is the perfect word for it. Great work!
Thank you!
I like how your track is constantly evolving throughout and never felt stagnant. There was a lot of great music production put into this piece. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for listening!
The first part felt very atmospheric and foreboding, nice use of the parallel bell-like and string-like parts. The second part also had a very nice texture, but I kind of wish it had a little more melodic stuff going on; after a while, it felt just a tad too repetitive for my taste. I did like the transition between the two parts, however, and also the fade-out where you pick up the parallel movement motif again.
Cheers! Yeah fair enough, I can be very melodic as per the first section but I’m equally drawn to evolving timbres and textures as I am melody, which I guess is why I opted for less of a melodic focus later. With more time I’d have probably added more melodic hints in that part but always wanted it to be subtle there and then allow for a more impactful return of the motif later, if that makes sense. Thanks for listening!
Fair, makes perfect sense! I think it's also more a matter of personal taste than any sort of objective criticism :)
Great atmosphere, I really enjoyed your track, good work!
Thank you!
Great transition between the two worlds!
Thanks mate!
I liked the calm section as well, but the shift into harder synths really got me. Really made the theme work!
Thank you!
Wow this is really good! I love your use of textures and the delay on the background synths. Fantastic job!
Thank you! Can't go wrong with dotted 8th note delay haha
Very nice atmosphere and drones. Such high quality mix! Well done!
Thank you!
This is so catchy, I loved the melody in the first half, simple yet ultra effective. Although it kind of lost me in the second half where I think it could have benefited from a good melody or something else to keep you on your toe. But that's very brillant music and very well mixed, love it!
Thank you! I get where you’re coming from, the second part was mainly about the electronic timbres than a standout melody but given more time I would’ve liked to explore a bit more melodic content there
Thanks!
Love the transition from string to electronic elements! Could easily picture the game in my mind as this played. Mixing is good too, I think this could play in a game and not be too distracting/overwhelming. Love it!
Thank you!
Great track! The description scene was clear on my mind with your music ^^
Thank you!
Wow. This is so cool. I love the atmosphere of the techno vibes mixed with the strings, and how it kept evolving, it was never stale. This is so cool, really well done.
Thanks so much!
