Description
The Genre of this piece is electronic. The ideal fitting video game would be an open world adventure with snowy mountains. I used Reason software and about eight hours of time. There is one soundtrack about 3 minutes long

Theme:

Two Worlds
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The beginning and the end of the song are a different theme from the rest of the song representing "Two Worlds". The electronic orchestral theme throughout demonstrates the massive size of the mountain in the picture as well as the chaotic arpeggios to represent slippery ice

I liked the vibe of this piece and the layering of instruments came together in some really interesting ways! There are a few aspects of the mix that I think could use some work -- for example I found the bassline a bit uniform and sometimes overpowered the other tracks. Also, the middle section could use a punch up because I think there was an opportunity to make that transition between the two "worlds" more distinct. Very cool ominous house feel, though!

I love the trap-like vibes here and the use of the phrygian mode! the part between 1:00 and 2:00 gets a little repetitve, i think a chip-like arpeggio would have added some more detail to it

I originally had a lead there, but it sounded terrible! I figured it was better left empty to leave room for video game sounds

I like the track, but I think how you related it to the theme is a bit of a stretch, no offense. The beginning and the end aren't distinct enough from the middle section.

You could say anything related to the picture theme is a bit of a stretch, but in my case the beginning and end are DIFFERENT enough IMO to justify the two worlds theme (completely different chords and tones) they just have the same drum loop connecting them together to make the song a coherent piece. Without making two completely different songs I'm interested in how you would connect the theme

Fair enough. IMO different chords aren't enough because a single song doesn't have to use the same chords over and over--having different chords shows progression, but it's still very much one song. I'd try to distinguish them stylistically by using vastly different instruments / rhythms, but that's just me--you do you. Still a nice song tho!
