Theme
Photosynthesis City
Correlation to theme
This song is about how the sun gives us strength. This song represents the pace of a photosynthesis city. Mixing technology (synthesizers) with organic instruments (viola and celli) to encapsulate the feeling of a futuristic city that uses solar power and the potential of nature to coexist.

Wow! The choir from 0:56 gives a nice 'praise the sun' feeling, while the synthesizer keeps a futuristic vibe. Interesting vocal samples used, I don't hear such things often! Many songs here in this jam seem to make "strong" songs such as this, which to me fit perfectly in some triumphant moment. Nice song, well done!
Thank you for your kind words. Some of the choir is actually myself singing on top of a sampled choir. It provides a fantastic timbre so thanks for noticing.
Oh, that's really cool! I would love to try such a thing myself someday
This soundtrack would fit well with a electoral campaign video where a mayoral candidate talks about their vision for a city and its people with a gentle, compassionate, and inspirational voice. You can feel the sunlight warming your arms and face when you listen to the synth.
Feels so epic
Thank you . I was going for an exploring/epic vibe but also producing the vibe of the city.
The pad from the beginning and the effects used on the vocal parts has such a warm quality that works perfectly with the sun theme. The synth you use reminds me of one that Vangelis used a lot which makes this track feel welcoming and nostalgic to me. It was very creative to use vocals as a texture in the way that you did - and excellently executed too I might add! This is oddly specific, but I really like the drum sounds you use like the buzzy/echoey snare and the chirping hi hat sounds. Overall this is a very creative piece and I think I could imagine a town with this as the background. Good job and thank you for sharing!
Wow
Thank you so much. So happy to hear that you liked the song so much! I made it in 24 hours or so anyways, maybe we should work together on a project?
I'm open to collaborating on a project- I think you can learn a lot from working with other composers/producers. That's really impressive that you made it in 24 hours!
