So... It's time for an old-school dark ambient!
* Cool old-school dark ambient!
I liked it) It was even a little creepy...
thanks!
I really appreciate that!
The sound design was awesome !!
I loved "Creation Out of Void" ^_^
Thank you so much!
Some really nice dark textures and ambiences in here. Hard to say what it reminds me of specifically - kind of a mishmash from a bunch of different notable figures in the horror genre; both indie and professional.
Digging the use of the chosen synth voicings - they almost function as a motif in their own right. Production is solid and all of the tracks are nice and cohesive. Creation Out of Void was unexpected - feels more akin to a standard track arrangement in my opinion, but I enjoyed it all the same.
My favorite is Black Fog in the Forest - this has some delicious ambience to it and the drum work in it is sparse but works really well. Great dragging noise/distorted SFX/whatever it is on the occasional snare hit to really tear up the background. The glitching/reversing effects on the lead melodies is great for creating this kind of low-key disconcerting and ominous vibe. This track reminds me of something that Yamaoka might've done in the early days.
Great work - thematically this was on point and absolutely drenched in moodiness. Really enjoyed it! Best of luck. :)
I really appreciate all of the great feedback. Thank you for taking the time to listen and to leave such wonderful insight!
Really nice dark ambient here!! I loved the different versions of the main motiff and the piano sound in Respite.
Amazing work!!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. :)
Enjoy the unique headspace these tracks put me in. Well done!
Thanks so much!!
This soundtrack really do be sounding spooky… I love it! As OSTs go, it’s one of the most unique sounding ones of the competition! Each song holds that constant tension that was established by the first song, and they really do all feel like they came from the same game. Amazing work!
Thank you so much! This is such a great compliment. I really appreciate you checking it out.
Nice job using recurring ideas and putting a spin on them! The whole thing reminded me of Silent Hill combined with Earthbound. Very tense and offputting but a certain vibe that makes it feel comforting in a way.
I really appreciate that! Thank you for such a great compliment.
There is a nice ambiant dark vibe. Your songs would make great variations for one particular place or charachter, because they use the same theme all along. Having other materials could be a bonus, and interesting to really imagine a game as a whole :)
Thank you so much! I would love to expand this into more material and see where it goes.
I liked your tracks but they all felt really similar. Like it sounded like 1 song with 4 variations so it got a tad stale over time.
Thank you. I get that. I appreciate your honest feedback.
You nailed the darkness eerie feeling in these tracks. I really liked how main menu moved into black frog in the forest. I enjoyed this OST a lot! Nice job!
Thanks so much! That's really kind of you and appreciate you taking the time to listen :)
Great sound with this one! Creation Out of Void was the highlight for me, but I really enjoyed how the first three tracks felt like variations of the same thing. The whole thing is cohesive, and I think you nailed the atmosphere!
Thanks for the kind words. I was really hoping that everything would sound cohesive and put together. Really happy with how it turned out!
Good Work ! I like what you did! The atmospheric/electronic sound fits the survival horror vibe perfectly. And you mixed it well too !
Thanks I really appreciate that!
oh I love the very dark and slightly disturbing atmosphere ! it's really cool
Thanks so much!!
Sounds great! I think black fog in the forest is my favorite track. I love the cover art too
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and the cover art was really fun to put together :D
