Call of the Pitch Black Sea: Beginning and ending with the timpani sets the tone for the dark nature of your soundtrack. The intervals you use are also unsettling and dark, making the sea seem malevolent and unforgiving.
Ripples on the Stream of Time: I felt the glimmers of hope at the beginning of this track, but over the course of it, it slowly faded back to the dark and somber feeling. My favorite part of this song is the part where the french horns start by playing a note and many other instruments take turns playing the same note after like a crescendoing echo. I also like the faint twinkling in the background that almost seems like I’m imagining it when I hear it.
Whispers of the Starry Scare: I love when the piano enters on that sweet rolled chord. The vibe I get from this track is more of a pensive nature than the previous two. The choir sounds give an added ethereal quality to this track. The occasional dark chord keeps reminding me that if I get too relaxed, the sea will put me in my place. These three tracks work really well together to create a beautiful and haunting orchestral story. Good work and thank you for sharing!
