Description
The game we composed for would be called "Starbright", an adventure game with heavy themes of self discovery.
"Once Upon a Time" - Classical, Composed by NTA Music (AKA iHoist) using BBC Orchestra VSTs and vocal recording inside of Ableton. This track represents a grand start to an adventure.
"Nightfall" - Classical, Composed by NTA Music (AKA iHoist) using BBC Orchestra VSTs inside of Ableton. This track was meant to be similar to a classic lullaby. It represents the beginning of the night, and the serenity that comes with it.
"Starlight" - Downtempo Electronic, Composed by Quintivium using Spitfire Labs Soft Piano VST and synths sound designed from scratch inside of Ableton. This track is an experimental piece representing the serenity and self discovery that so often happens during long nights and conversations with the stars in the sky, and is a prelude to the extremely electronic nature of the final track.
"An Empty Sky" - Orchestral/Dubstep, Composed by Quintivium using Spitfire Labs VST, Orchestral Mallets by Ableton, Drone Lab by Ableton, and an ungodly amount of sound design using various techniques inside of Ableton. This track is a dark and heavy track, signifying a bossfight against a darkness that stole the stars. Bass heavy and electronic, signifying a battle against an otherworldly darkness.
Message from the artist:
Thanks for listening to this unconventional and experimental take on OST composing, we appreciate it! Also, Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
This OST fits the theme by using both classical composition with an emphasis on lullabies, and glassy, reverb drenched sound design that makes the listener feel like they're in space.
