Description
This is a short orchestral composition composed for a souls-like game. The track represents the global theme of the game.
DAW used: Cakewalk

Theme:

Two Worlds

How does it fit the theme?
The track is split into two parts. The first portrays a mysterious lake in which reflections of distant souls can be seen. The second part portrays the descension of these souls into the world and the conflicts they bring.

really hits the two worlds theme! Loved the huge section at the end though it feels a touch muddy in the mixing. Strong composition!

Nice track! A part of the melody reminds me of Italian movies (no kidding)

The melody reminds me a bit of Donizetti's "Una Furtiva Lagrima", really beautiful stuff.

This sounds fantastic. Both parts feel like they belong in the same game, but they have very different moods. That vocal glissando into the second part is really cool. The only thing I'm confused on is where these tracks would play-- is this for a cutscene, or would these play during two different levels?  Given the cinematic nature, I would assume a cutscene. Regardless, really well done.

The first part reminded me a lot of Swan Lake, and the second was nice and bombastic!
