Description
The soundtrack was imagined to be for an RPG. The focus of the soundtrack is centered around the "big evil guy" and the journey leading up to him.
Message from the artist:
Hope you enjoy! I'd have liked to write a few more tracks but I'm fairly satisfied given my lack of experience with DAWs.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
It's a retelling of the journey all classic RPGs tell. One of progression towards a final goal and a culmination. It's the journey I remember playing and despite being used over and over again it's one we keep coming to.
It's a journey to remember.

That is really great! I love the mood of the tracks and how "Before the Lair" turned into this great evil guy theme with the electric guitar. My favourite one was probabl the first track though, it's soo good!
Nice! You have a good sense for melody.
I really do like the music, but programmed instruments feel more artificial then they could. Try to improve your programming velocities and humanizing timing!
Very mysterious vibe. I like it
I like the first track the most :) It's encouraging and mysterious! Cool vibe!
Now I wanna dance with Big Evil Guy ^_^.
I like that your tracks are developed enough that you were able to add some of the awesome ornamentation, especially on the guitar work. There's some cool dark layers, like the dramatic piano piece and the segments with the electric guitar
Like the flamenco influence, thanks for sharing!
cool sound choices, i really loved valley in shadows
I like how you developed the theme over time! Keep at it!
The Big Evil Guy melody is soooo good! At 20 seconds the track really reaches its stride and I would love to hear this part of the track expanded and developed. You mention you have a lack of experience with DAW's but I think you've nailed the arranging and orchestration of these tracks even if its unfamiliar territory for you. When using reverbs I would NEARLY always use a 'Send' to an 'Auxillary'. You don't have to always do this for compositional choices but In my opinion, the reverb in "before the lair" had too much 'wet'. Otherwise, it's a fantastic OST, and I could see this being used in a game! But then it would exist? but it doesn't exist? but it should exist! Great work <3
Here is a well balanced simple music which presents a theme close to those of Enio Morricone, perfect to illustrate the vision of the villain. Some Spanish musical expressions that the guitar emphasizes all the more. A confusing mix, but all the more intriguing, for an OST of an RPG that does not exist, but which deserves to be, if only for its music. Interesting.
