Description
This is a kind of fantasy and orchestral type of soundtrack! The first track Rise and Fall represents a knight losing an epic battle on land and being thrown into an underwater world. Shortly after waking up the theme of the world plays and he is now in a new world. Diminished returns is meant to outline his time in the mysterious new underwater world as it feels uneasy and ethereal at the same time. Bittersweet represents the knight finally returning to his home world with all the happy memories flooding in! But then... the knight slowly starts to realize there is something sinister happening in his hometown and it is not like he remembered...
I composed this soundtrack actually utilizing a new software subscription one of my teachers told me to get called East West Opus composer cloud. Plugin I used the most was the fantasy orchestrator in the plugin suite. This allowed me to lay down cool ostinatos and rhythms from different sections while being able to carefully edit the chord structures to match the mood I wanted! I used ableton 11 lite education edition!

Message from the artist
Hey! I am so very excited as this is the start of my composing journey for video games! I just started music production and writing music a year or two ago and this is the first time I have "finished" a piece because of the time constraints I was given and I couldn't be more thankful for it. I would love to hear ALL the criticism as I am eager to learn and make more content for more jams in the future! Thank you guys so much. FYI in the videos and screenshots I had to convert some of the midi into audio as my pc is not very good and it would not play the libraries and record at the same time without crashing thanks for reading!

Theme

Inside my world

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I chose to follow the journey of a knight that got knocked into an underwater world from losing an epic battle on land trying to make it back to his homeland. From the picture I got ethereal and upbeat vibes as well as some mystery. In the tracks, it outlines the knight's journey from this underwater world back up to his world on the land. Towards the end we see a plot twist in seeing the Knight's home is not exactly what he remembered as the happy home town theme takes a darker turn.
