Message from the artist
This is supposed to be the soundtrack of an intense moment, as the main character has to leave everything behind and go back in time to achieve their quest.

I had only one day to work on this entry, but it was really fun to try the hardest challenge anyway. Thanks for listening! <3

This is really amazing! I love the buildup, feels grand and wistful. There's a lot of great instrumentation choices here as well, the soft repeating piano/synth (I am a bit unsure what it is specifically) especially speaks to me. This was a nice listen!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I think I remember you from the last jam!

The synth is made from a bell synth I made and then ra-sampled to make it mirror itself

Submitted(+1)

Ohh, that is cool I think it is a very nice synth you've made! And same here, your submission last jam was my favorite one!

The notes that play right before the reversal are the notes that play during the credits to every episode of Avatar!

My ears are trained to hear those specific 4 notes so well (:

I really liked the reversal since it made the track feel more cohesive and less stapled together.

Good job!

Developer

Wow you're right haha, i'm a big fan of Avatar and I didn't notice

Thank you for the kind words!

Good jobb . Love the sring section and the start of the reverse part(after the bass dropp) is amaseing 

( ^▽^)

Developer
