Description
Their name is Camellio the Infinite, a name from derived from the flower camellia, which symbolizes perfection. Despite the idea of perfection in a robot, Camellio believes that his lack of ability to be human makes them flawed, because in theory a machine's 'perfection' would be 'imperfection,' because they're made to be precise, not natural
The song 'Infinite' is the melancholy of Camellio, an machine who wants to be human. Even though he doesn't have the ability to dream, he wonders if a simple wish upon a star would grant him his wish.
In the song you can hear him counting stars in the background as he ponders the difference between being human and a machine.

I wish I could have been more detailed and balanced the music better but I did everything in 36 hours so things might be a little sloppy, but thanks for listening anyways~

Message from the artist:
Here are the lyrics to the song 'Infinite'

โœจINFINITEโœจ

(counting)
I can count all the seconds
minutes, nights and days
Every tick that signifies
the measurement of change
Humans can't keep track of time like I do

I can count all the stars
that gently light the sky
It doesn't matter the time
whether day or night
Humans can't count as many stars as I do

But sometimes humans feel love, feel pain, and conjure dreams
A wide range of many sensations with more in between
Even though in design imperfections were made outlawed in concept
I might be the one who's flawed

Can I ever feel things, the way that they do?

If I wished upon a star~ would it come true
Or do I need a heart for my dreams to come though
Do I actually want or am I programed to want
Can I make a wish, a wish like humans do?

Are these thoughts I have just a cog that turns my wheel
Do these strings of value tell me how to feel
Are these doubts of my existence even real
Or are these merely codes programed under the steel

How I'd wish to have a heartbeat and a soul
Not confined by chips, plugs, or remote controls
Maybe then I'd know the meaning, the feeling to be whole
To be Human, man, I guess I'll never know

Can I ever feel things, the way that they do?

huh
I guess I'll never know

(it's infinite, it's infinite, it's infinite, it's infinite,
there is no end, there is no end, it's infinite....)

Theme:

Wish upon a star

How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack is about a machine that wants to make a wish to be human. Along with the counting of stars happening in the background of the music, I tried to make a little twinkle melody to represent twinkling stars in the sky :D

I had goosebumps, honestly my eyes were tearing up, the lyrics were so well written and even though the voices were computer generated they were able to give that emotion of "Can I ever feel things, the way that they do?" perfectly. I love this so much, it's brilliant! Great job sir!

What a cool entry! I dont know if it was intentional, but the counting in the beginning panning made me think of a grandfather clock swinging instantly, which was really cool! Also fun to hear a song with vocals in this jam.

Developer(+1)

OOOoo I like the connection you made with the  grandfather clock! To be honest when I did the panning I only had a gentle vague idea of a clock, but more for it to resemble the counting of stars all around so I really like your analogy a lot
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun working with this concept ๐Ÿ’–

This feels very heart felt, the vocals and the tone of the song is so melancholic in the best way. Amazing job!

This was really cool! Great job on the vocals and the overall vibe! I felt like the uniqueness and quality of your track puts it high up on my favorites for the jam.

Ohhh! thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear ๐Ÿ’–

Woah amazing job on the voices! And those harmonies at the end were really cool! It feels like you had a lot of fun doing that :) 

It's a great idea that I would totally work as a touching moment in a story driven game with Camellio questionning itself. 

Good quality and unique submission! Thank you :) 

Developer

AWwwh Thank you, I did have a lot of fun with it :D
Thank you for your words and thank you for listening ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ™

Very unique entry with the robo voice. I can hear you put a lot of effort and thought in this, to great effect! Really creative take on the theme, thanks for sharing!

Developer

Thank you for your words, and thank you listening! โœจ๐Ÿ™
It was a lot of fun to work on :D

What an interesting concept! The idea of a robot questioning whether it can even make a wish, and singing over it yourself in a robotic voice is quite unique! I love the concept, it makes you stand out from most other songs here :)

Well done!

Your overall sound is so clear and the mix is very well-balanced in each of your tracks. Your melody-writing is stellar (pun intended, but also aptly utilized). I am very glad I was able to hear an instrumental in addition to your magical Infinite. The lyrics are so poetic and well-crafted. I hope that during the next jam you have more time because I would love to hear more from you!

Developer

AAWWH Thank you so much for your words, this means a lot
This jam was so much fun and I absolutely loved the theme of this one
I absolutely look forward to the next OST Composing jam; not only is it really cool to participate in but it's also super inspiring seeing other people's interpretations of the themes provided|
Thank you for the comment ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’–

Great work! Love the chill vibes in "Camelio wants a wish" and the synths you used, they are really smooth! Congrats!

Nice lyrics in Infinite, I love how sad it is, also I love how you built the song around the same main melody that's in Camellio wants a wish. 

I couldn't imagine making an OST like this in 36 hours without skipping sleep so props to you on that too!

Developer

AAwwh~! Thank you thank you!! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–
I did lose some sleep but I'd do it again haha!
These jams are just really cool and inspiring to participate in, and it's especially really inspiring and cool to be able to listen to other people's interpretations of the themes set

Love the lyrics in Infinite, the machine-like vocals are really cool over the twinkly atmosphere. And then the short outro theme is sweet, reminds me of an RPG resting/inn jingle or similar. Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much for your words! They fill my heart, thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–

Woah!!! I love Infinite! It's such a beautiful song that's dripping with sadness and longing but still goes hard! Great production too. Thanks for sharing this!

Developer

AWWH Thank you thank you so much!โœจ
I've always loved the emotional concept of a machine wanting to be human and the the complex lines of what makes one human or not
Thank you so much for your words ๐Ÿ’–

I love the fun, sparkly pop sound you got and the vocals where wonderful. I also like the story you told with the lyrics. Great work!

What a unique way to spin the premise!  Infinite is super cool, the fact that you fit in lyrics when you only had 36 hours is a little mind boggling, honestly.  great work!

Thank you so much! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’–
Even with the time I had, it was a lot of fun to do and these jams really help me with getting to creating things

Not the genre of music I would typicly liten to but it was great anyaway ! I imagine that Infinite might be used as the song for the trailer of the game. You did amazing in only 36 hours, keep it up !

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!! It wasn't the usual direction of music I work towards but I still had a lot of fun with it~

Thank you~
