Description
At first, I tried to create a big template for orchestral music (you can see the brass and woodwind folders on my screen recording), but as I worked on it I felt like it was straying from the theme.

Then, I decided to create ambient music using environmental sounds that I had recorded myself.

I like the artist Atrium Carceri, so the song title is based on his album.

Hey, did you record all these sounds yourself? Awesome, dude!

I like some of the eeriness in these tracks... It's like something wants to eat me... And the live sound of the ambient itself adds to this additional horror, heh)

Thanks!

I’m really into the fact you used your own field recordings for this, that parts really adds to the theme imo. Not related to the music per se, but I would have really liked to see some track descriptions just to know what the direction was but overall, you captured this gorgeous eerieness that was super affective.

Love the use of the environmental sounds - they add so much depth and feeling to the pieces! I'm very impressed about how you made the tracks so creepy and eerie, while at the same time making them feel like there is danger, but it can be overcome. The tracks feel like a warning, so there's still hope for success.  Very well done!

The ambience is really good and fits good for the jam.

The combination of ambiences and synths you use here are genuinely frightening and yet somehow...kind of nostalgic? This is one of the most evocative jam entries I've listened to, just incredible command of emotion.

Woah very eerie, I love the tone and feeling that the tracks make me feel a sense of wonder, curiosity, and wanting to know why I would feel this way in these well places, I REALLY love that feeling the mystery of why it feels so lonely and welcoming, secluded and open, Foreign and yet familiar I love these kinds of tracks

It's really cool that you used environmental stuff you recorded. It added a lot to this soundtrack.

You nailed the ambience. Awesome work.

Hi Makoto! 

I really enjoyed the subtle and mysterious atmospheres you have created.

The crafting of each track was very careful and that is remarkable.

I'm going to listen to Atrium Carceri to better understand this genre that is new to me.

Very ambient and I liked the bird noises in space but I would have liked for more detail on how it fits the theme.

I love that intro menu music! It evolves so beautifully
