Description
Had in mind some kind of JRPG game.

Got no idea of the genre of the music. Orchestral but with some guitar here and there (?)
Main theme: is the main theme of the game
ApatheticBattle: battle against the king, which has been consumed by Apathy (near 1m 50s but looped)

The game:
A king has been consumed by the evil Apathy, due to the king's indiference everything descends into chaos and loses the color it once had.
The queen (main character) scapes from the grasp of Apathy. Her objective, by using the power of friendhip and love to gain allies and defeat the evil Apathy.

Message from the artist:
I am no professional, but anyway hope everyone can have as much fun as I had with both tracks

Theme

a journey to remember.
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The story depicts the two paths the main character must take:
The blue path of Friendship
The red path of Lova

Along the journey you meet new people, characters with whom you can interact and gain as friends and allies.

I liked both of em, but for moments the melodi on aphatic sounds a little weird(in my opinion of course), on the other hand... The path sounfds really good, Keep up the good work and keep improving ^-^ (y)

With such a bright start as rich as the beginning of the second music, it is hard to believe that the composer here is a pure autodidact. A great sense of orchestration which lets imagine real wonders, with the required technical knowledge. It often happens, alas, that those who access music writing lessons are not the most passionate ones, or have no artistic sensitivity. Here, we feel that even if there is still some way to go, the end will be magnificent! Having talent cannot be learned. The choice to mix instruments recorded live was also a formidable bet: the tempo is certainly not there on all the musics, but many tools can correct these small defects (probable that the software used to make this OST has it without you knowing). With a formation in harmony and musical writing, no doubt that you will know how to express wonders where so many others already formed have nothing to say. To be continued, therefore.

Ow, that was so beautiful <3.

I must say, I am not a pure autodidact, I took piano lessons for 1 and half or 2 years. But for the rest of the 4 years I've dedicated to music I started with the guitar and also took some time to check out videos regarding some of the theory behind some themes (and of course, improve with the piano, or at least tried to).

My main theme is deeply inspired by Revo's Bravely Default main theme, and is richer than the first one (I believe) due to the time dedicated to it (just almost the whole week).

Regarding formation, I'll try to access the conservatory in order to improve my skills, so I'm really excited about that!.

Thank you very much for the support!!

A little rough around the edges- but keep at it! You have a nice idea with Apathetic Battle- keep on learning and growing as a composer and musician and I'm sure you'll get there!

Cheers!

I'll totally try to make that apathetic battle sound better. Its all rushed, so I really hope I can dedicate more time to make it "evolve" with more chords and motives, as that harmonic sound ends up being repetitive.

Really appreciate you comment!!

Melody is good, but you need to polish your mixing skills and maybe try to use a metronome :) It will make your music much better and you will grow in music industry! ♥ Good job and I wish you well!

Wow, wasn't expecting any comments, so I really appreciate it!.

I have taken some piano private lessons, but everything else is self-taught. I'll delve deeper into mixing and... well... I'll play better next time, I know that synth was very off on the battle theme. Ended up with just day and a half to make it.

Thanks for the feedback!!
