Description
The Soundtrack was made for an Adventure / Survival game set on an extra-terrestrial, oceanic planet that the player crash landed on. Each track represents depths of the ocean, and the background music will change to associate with that depth(kind of like terraria biomes), except for "Welcome Home," which is main menu music.

<Doloramen>
I used Ableton live 11, along with Serum by Xfer Records. The Tracks I made are inspired by the instrumentals of "Eyes of Ebony" by Haken. I tried to keep my tracks short to avoid decision paralysis, as Serum is an overwhelming tool to have.

<Murpur_8>
Fl Studio along with Zenology, Labs, Flex, Vital, and Krush. The music construction and vibe were inspired by the tracks on "House Moss" by Therm, specifically the track "What He Saw."

Theme

Inside my world
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
We interpreted "Inside my world" as being on a planet by yourself. The Picture theme had fish and bubbles, so we also decided on an aquatic setting.

There is some impressive contrasts shown here as the OST develops. Twilight Zone in particular works really nicely, with a good sense of atmosphere being created here. Don’t be afraid to develop your compositional materials further, with more subtle instrumental/synth layers to add more depth in places, but overall great work :)

Thank you for the feedback!!

Enjoyable set of electronic tracks! The slow development benefits the subacquatic theme and the atmospheres created remind me of Metroid Prime in a good way.

Some of the melodic notes in the second track feel a bit off rhythmically and harmonically. Otherwise I have no real complaints.

Twilight Zone is an Alien beginning...

Welcome Home is CUTE!!!!

 Murky Waters is a fascinating "water" track. Good ambient!

 Oceanic - Okay... this is even more of a "water track". I especially liked the pipes that start playing in the second half of the track

 The Shallows - I feel pleasure and comfort. Thanks)

Overall, you have a pretty interesting and atmospheric soundtrack. I love the space Sci-Fi atmosphere!

"Oceanic" was my favorite of the bunch, especially when the arpeggios came in. Very ethereal. "Welcome Home" sounds like it's from a flash racing game haha. Good job overall!

Lovely and atmospheric! I especially liked the bells coming in in The Shallows - felt very ghostly.

I liked the effect you add on the background piano in Murky Waters and that stands out in 2:00sec. Well done!

I really liked the bell like instrument that comes in on the second half of The Shallows.

I like the sound of the more ambient tracks like "Murky Waters" and "Oceanic." Keep up the good work!
