Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
The theme inspired me to make an OST for an adventure game about sea travels. What could best represent the sky AND the sea than a ship ? :D

I think the atmophere would be nice for a old school JRPG, at least that's what I had in mind while composing.

What genre is your soundtrack?
Orchestral

What was your ensemble?
Flute, Oboe, Violons 1, Violas, Cellos, Contrabass

Anything else you'd like to add?
I used the Strings as sections, so there are some orchestration "doublures", I hope this is ok for the challenge !

(not sure about the word "doublures", we use it in french but I can't find the right english word for it... xD )

This is super nice!! I love how happy and fun it sounds!! I got major Yoko Shimomura vibes from this, it’d 100% fit in an old school style JRPG!

Very nicely done!

Developer

Absolutely loved this one. Great energy and orchestration, well mixed, fun melodies. Reminded me a bit of an old Dreamcast JRPG called Skies of Arcadia. Really nice key change around 1:35 and nice transitional section leading up to it. One small thing that stood out to me that I'm not sure if it was intentional or not: at 0:18, 0:44, 1:09, and 1:53 I noticed there's a high pitch, white-noise like, series of 4 eighth notes.

Developer

Thanks a lot mate, glad you liked it ! 

Indeed now that mention it I hear it too, really not sure what caused it... might be an export glitch, my PC is kinda old xD Thanks for bringing it to my attention !

I got One Piece vibes so hard, and as a fan I can't complain at all, it was really nice. 

Just a thing, the link to the video doesn't work rips

Developer

Thanks a lot really, I don't really know the One Piece OST actually, but I'll go listen to it ! :D

Ah yeah the link was broken, had to reupload because of exporting issues, thanks for telling me, should work now !

Love the basses and cellos here! Melodies have some sweet harmonies too. Reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy!

Thanks mate ! Had lot of trouble so the strings don't sound too "robotic", my vst is not so great :/ Anyway thank you for taking the time to listen and comment <3
