I love the ethereal feel in Arcane Green, together with the woodsy flute, forest/nature feel. Also nice touch with the strings, very beautiful in a non-overwhelming way. Thanks for sharing!

Description
As a dangerous virus is rampaging through the civilized world the only chance for momentary escape is to seek refuge in nature.
I imagine this to be part of the soundtrack for a short story-driven game (maybe 2D platformer) that shows the protagonist on their trip through the forest trying to distract themselves from the troubling situation and thinking about a future within all the chaos. The forest is gloomy and mysterious by itself. However, since it has become the only safe place left the distraught protagonist experiences it as magical and blissful.
Arcane Green consists of...
- an intro (probably for a cutscene) portraying the slow transition from civilization to nature on the way into the forest
- a looping BGM track (a piece of cliché forest VGM)
- an outro (again probably for a cutscene) for exiting the forest and walking through sunlit fields before the inevitable return back home
Made in Cubase, mostly VSTs with the middle track's solo viola being the most prominent exception.
Message from the artist:
The cover artwork is AI-generated and it turned out fairly impressive.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
