Description
Despite being oriented mainly on orchestral music I sometimes try something more... experimental. Adventure game with very twisted ending? Why not? Combining instruments I never combined before? Yup, why not?
Music depicts journey of a little girl named Mina - full story here: https://3yy3.itch.io/dreamscape
First track, Dreamscape, depicts the imaginary world Mina lives in. Second, Inner Peace, also a little, but the Mina's imaginary world seems to be in a trouble. Third, sort of a battle track bearing the name Black and White depicts her fight against two evil spirits. Last track named Upside Down depicts her letting go and waking up from the coma.
Produced in Reaper DAW using libraries like Cinematic Studio Series, Audio Imperia Chorus, Vital, Spitfire Cinematic Pads, Apricot and others.
Flute in first track Dreamscape is made by me and played by me also. It's made from piece of aluminium pipe (for a homemade - sounds amazing to me).
I have also played the handpan in the second track Inner Peace.
Guitar riffs and chords in third track Black and White beautifully done by the great Laureano Marin Galvan.
Artwork by Alzbeta Zapletalova (Kete).
Message from the artist
Enjoy! Otherwise, what's the point? :)
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The story depicts imaginary world happening inside coma. Mina, how I named the girl, lives in her own dream world.

Thank you! 😊
Firstly; love the cover art. Second, I really liked the ambience of Dreamscape and definitely didn't expect the electric guitar in Black and White haha. Nice job!
Thanks! :)
I like how comically the child from the cover art looks against the background of some graceful higher creatures)
Oh, right... I liked it) Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Writing as I listen lolol,
Dreamscape is beautifully composed, and that lead flute melody is just gorgeous. The nostalgia is palpable; the simple melodies over dynamic chord progressions give such a strong sense of looking back. Also love the handpan in Inner Peace, just so calming. Serves as a strong contrast to the verby percussive hits and acid bass!
HOLD UP! BLACK AND WHITE GOES CRAZY! That lead guitar came out of NOWHERE. And that motif is so so strong!
Upside Down has absolutely stellar instrumentation. The way that the horns just emerge from the synth pad is dreamy, and the composition has this celestial, otherwordly vibe. The progression starting at 1:12 is absolutely genius.
Amazing work here, definitely one of my favorites that I will be revisiting and taking so much melodic inspiration from in the future :)
Thanks a lot! :)
Intriguing harmony and cool flute for first track! really gentle^^Got genshin sumeru vibe!
Beautiful writing for 2nd track love your mood, its really a great surprise ! what an ambience!
Powerful theme for 3rd track and wtf mix with a guitar, great surprise!
I love the pacing in your tracks and the mood shift!
Overall great soundtrack ! Great writing skills, i think you may work a bit more on the mix because it feel a bit too muddy or screaming sometimes:)
Good job^^
Thank you! 😊
Yes you are right, I am not happy with the mix as well and didn't have more time to fiddle more around it unfortunately 😁
I thought the cover was a punch out kinda game and Mina was gonna throw dem hands lmao.
Lol, wut 😂 Yeah, it can have a sequel! Mina - In the land of Tekken.
DLC dropping Q4 2025 at an egregious price.
😂
I like the quality of the sound! Oh and that flute in first track sounded magical!
Thanks! I tried to put a lot of emotion into that flute part 😊
