Description
I imagined this track as a sort of introduction cinematic thing, showing life on a planet going through the cycle of life.
Sounds/Libraries i used:
EW Hollywood Brass
Splash Sound Percussion Elements
EW Hollywood Percussion
Kontakt Factory Library Harp
8Dio Anthology Strings
Spitfire Audio LABS Choir
And Cubase as the DAW
Message from the artist:
I was originally going to do an electronic intro/menu tune with some rhodes piano, but i decided halfway through to take this jam as a chance to practice using orchestral sounds, since i've been procrastinating doing that for some time now.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I took inspiration from the panspernia hypothesis for a sort of setting where life appears on a planet and ends, because of organism's brought from outer space

Great music and nice atmosphere, good job!
Great big orchestral magic. Wonderful!
Those 8Dio strings sound amazing! While this kind of brass always give me a feeling of JRPG battle :)
Good work on the orchestra, the track is intense!
Nice work on the orchestral instruments, it feels very intense. I liked the piano part as well. Good job!
This is a solid modern score in the styles of Hans Zimmer and Keichii Okabe. While the chord changes are predictable, the arpeggios and melodies are subtle in their winding and expressive cleverness, and the breakdown feels immensely disarming prior to the A' Section, which ramps up on the militaristic feel with well-handled horns. My only caveat is that it only feels like Aliens because of NieR: Automata. Oh, well. Five Stars for Quality.

I'm listening to the aforementioned Okabe. To think that I compared your work to Automata!! You deserve a higher rating.
Nice job on the orchestral instruments, they do a great job of conveying the game's tone
Great orchestral sound, makes me wish there was more
Thanks! i'm a bit inexperienced with using orchestral samples and all the midi cc automation that comes with them, so this track took me some days to get to this state. That's why i didn't make more tracks.
