Description
The soundtrack is orchestral and is based on a single leitmotif. The tracks were meant to represent the different moods/ideas in the protagonist's head. Based on the theme I pictured the game being about the protagonist exploring themselves. I mainly composed the soundtracks on my DAW (FL Studio) and experimented on different ways in interlinking the tracks.

Theme

How does it fit the theme?
It explores the different moods/memories of the protagonist as I pictured the game would do so as well.

The energy that your music has is incredible!! 

Excellent treatment of the motif. Memories is definitely my favorite. Moments like 1:08 make me notice the care with which you arrange your compositions.

AWESOME WORK!!

The instrumentation is very lush and clean and considering orchestral work, you definetely know your way around it. I admit to struggle with the high amount of whimsy in it, but thats fully a me-issue and I wouldn´t dare claim these compositions are bad. 


I expected smth else looking at the title image of the boy staring out the window, admittedly. Is the music representing a desire within the boy, to leave and experience a better life? Thats certainly smth I identify with musically.

Good... This is definitely one of the best orchestrations I've heard on this jam. Cool... no... THAT'S REALLY COOL, MAN.

Really well done! The orchestration and composition are both very good, and everything sounds great!

The only thing I personally would've wished for is for maybe a bit more originality - try more adventurous instrumentations, and maybe some more out there composing ideas. 

But on the other hand - why fix it if it's not broken? Everything sounds fantastic, and there's a reason why these composing and orchestrating tools are used so much by the greatest.

Anyway, this is a great submission! Nice job!

this is really well done! it sounds very polished and like a lot of effort went into it, and all of the tracks sound related to each other. itd be cool if you went into the major mode somewhere in "memories" but idk

Compositionally, this is great. You have a good grasp of orchestral instrumentation. I would love to have more to read about the game you were picturing, considering "The Adventurous Spirit" and "Memories" are very different musically. Great listen!

Everything here sounds so polished and coherent as well. Excellent use of the leitmotif in "Memories" and "The Adventurous Spirit". Really great epic soundtrack!

Oh these are some beautifully pensive pieces. Memories is such easy-listening. Orchestration and arrangement is on point - great balancing of each individual component and it all feels so naturally woven together.

The Adventurous Spirit is an unexpected but impressive follow-up to the above. Again, phenomenal orchestration. Great use of percussion in this one to really provide a driving pulse to keep the orchestral swells and decrescendos in check. Honestly these three tracks are super solid and I could see them going far. Best of luck!
