Explain your hypothetical game concept & how you interpreted the theme!
Game Concept: A sailing sim. You are alone, drifting peacefully, taking in the sweet ocean air. suddenly, you're fighting the wrathful wind and waves. to stay afloat.
Interpretation: From the sky comes wind, it affects the sea creating an unpredictable environment. the sky is represented by the flute (wind) and cello (thunder) the sea is represented by the piano (waves) and synth (uhmm uhh also waves... heh)

Very cool sounding track! The delay on the piano sounds so cool! Very well mixed, Very good Orchestration, Just all around great piece!
thanks! the delay was a real challenge to get right
The syncopated section in the second half is very elegant but also creates an unsteadiness that works very well with your interpretation. I enjoy the way you explore different ideas in a single piece while maintaining a great sense of wholeness
Very cool track with an ominous vibe. Jazzy and waltzy at times.
I'm glad the ominousness showed through!
I like the idea of different instruments being used to represent either the sky and sea, it works very well ! I love the first part, with instruments dialogging with each other. The white noise for the waves is also a great idea ! Nice take on the theme, congrats !
Thank you! i got the white noise idea from Carmine!
The delay on the piano is so pretty! Can I ask what you were doing to the white noise to emulate the waves like that? Sounds like some EQ sweeping?
Thank you! You're exactly right i used a randomizer on the eq sweep for the windiness and an LFO on the VCA of the white noise for the waves. I also have a couple filters with randomizers to cut out some sharpness and rumble while also making it more dynamic. Honestly i got the whole idea from Carmine who posted "in waves + torn (OSTs)".
