Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
I think of this as a short story told from two perspectives. Vaguely, the story is about a marine photographer who observes a contrast between the beautiful sky and a sea full of plastic. I hope the listener is inspired to derive their own, more detailed story as they listen!
I used a ton of wacky sound sources to make something unique within the constraints on instrumentation (electronic devices, birds, speedcubes...).

i loooove the bass sound, and the sound design gives the tracks a cool narrative
Thank you!
Such an Interesting concept! I’m not a huge fan of super grungy, abrasive music like this, but it’s a really interesting concept, I love the instrumentation, the Drums and Bass give a kind of scary kinda feel to it.
Nicely done!
Thanks for the feedback!
These are both so neat! The focus on constantly introducing new sounds and textures had me hooked the whole way through. The industrial section with the deep water gurgling was my absolute favorite and I LOVE that bass. I'm particularly inspired by how confidently you employ silence in your arrangements!
Thank you! I'm glad you found the wacky sounds engaging!
Cool atmosphere you created here, the bass and drums are pretty scary (in a good way :D). I feel like the underwater sounds muddied the drum and bass part a little bit, maybe the dynamics could be adjusted? But apart from that, certainly an entry that stands out in terms of texture and storytelling, great job!
Thanks much for the feedback! Glad you thought the bass and drums were scary, that's what I was going for!
That's awesome ! I love the contrasts you used, and combined with all the sound design effects, it really feels you're telling a story. Great ideas, well executed, well done !
Thanks!
Such a cool concept. I love it!
Thanks!
That was very interesting, really enjoyed the twists and details you added. Expected something atmospheric in the beginning and it changed completely, really nice job!
Thanks!
These are so good! I love how you can really hear a story in them, and they would definitely add to a game's atmosphere.
Thanks so much for listening! Glad you liked it!
