Description
A traveler makes their way through an enchanted forest. Based off the art and a D&D game. I Performed most parts live off my keyboard into Ableton. The genre is a hybrid of the classic chrono trigger/ early final fantasy music and analog instruments. I was shooting for an 8-bit and orchestra feeling. This is one track off of a larger in progress soundtrack. This particular track has a runtime of 4:00. I hope you all enjoy and am looking forward to seeing the other submissions!

Theme:

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
This track to me evokes the feeling presented in the picture theme. You're traveling, maybe even lost, in this deep (I also see it as enchanted) forest. Admiring the nature and are full of that mystical feeling.

I like the quiet atmosphere. Very foresty and mysterious, like in a dream land. Great effect with the L R panning of sounds, like little forest spirits. Well recognizable theme, too and you pick it up in different variations. Thanks for sharing!

Incridible bass timbre! I really felt like I was in an RPG atmosphere, especially in a PS1 game. Perfect! Congratulations man...

Really interesting piece here! Definitely enjoyed the harmonies you chose. My only concern is that the piece seems to lack direction... I'm not sure where the climax was, and it didn't really feel like it was leading anywhere.

That said, I am in love with the second half of this piece. Definitely gave me the impression of walking through a mystical forest. I love what you did with this, keep writing!
