Description
It's mainly an orchestral soundtrack, but one track is also with a guitar.
I imagined it in an adventure game in which you can explore a huge world^^

Message from the artist:
I really hope you enjoy it!
I started composing about four months ago and I'm really looking forward to your feedback!

Theme

a journey to remember.

How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack is made for a litteral journey in a video game which is worth remembering, so for example the first one should express the feeling of an exciting departure, the second one the feeling of resting at night after a day full of adventures and the third one the feeling of traveling through a hot desert.

I really like the more relaxed vibes on this one- great job!

I love the bittersweetness out of the gate, and the Zelda vibes are just *chefs kiss* lovely overall.  Really impressive for only four months in!  Can't wait to hear what you make next!

These three works are interesting and illustrate wonderfully what they were written for. The orchestration is clean, the melodies are well done. "Beginning Of A Journey" seems like a pretty sunrise where nature wakes up, the birds gradually start singing together, and where the adventure of the day promises to be thrilling. Night Theme is much more simplistic, but does the job perfectly. As for Desert Theme, it feels like you're lost in the sandy immensity. Being able to properly achieve three such different atmospheres with so little experience in composition says a lot about the extraordinary musical future that is emerging!

Thank you so much for these kind words!

Nice! Desert track stood out especially for me.

These are some top-notch overworld themes, they felt nostalgic but modern at the same time.

Top tier overworld music, nicely done! Night is my favorite of the three, nice and calm.

The desert track - I loved it so much. Awesome melody and slick percussion work.

Developer

Thank you^^

I also like the desert track the most of my submitted soundtracks

This sounds like Pokemon and Zelda music had a child. I like the mood and the sound texture of early 2000s videogame, can't really explain why it sounds to me like that :v And I appreciate a lot your effort of structuring your soundtrack and give it a sense of progression with different instrumentation and energy. Very nice job, congrats!

Developer

Thank you so much! It’s really cool that you feel that way about it, as I really love both the Zelda and Pokémon soundtracks xD

very nice. all three fitted nicely into the theme. I like the night theme most, probably because I'm off to bed after this one :). if this is the first thing you compose, can't wait to hear more of you.

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you like it^^

It's not my first attempt at composing though, I started composing four to five months ago, these are just my first tracks I really released and didn't only post on a Discord server xD

Fantastic work for someone that's just started composing! Do you play any instruments because you've got some great theory knowledge! Great OST <3

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much^^

Yeah, I can play the flute and started learning  piano three years ago. That were really great starting conditions for composing, and I also learned some things about music theory in school, I just didn’t really apply it practically until I started composing

I like the way the notes bend in the desert song. If this is what comes from you after four months of composing I definitely want to see where you end up in another four months. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

I‘m always trying to improve, and I’m definitely looking forward to what I‘ll be able to make in the future^^

Composing is just sooo much fun

Relaxing and soft! It fits for open world exploration game! It's cool, good job :)

Only four months? Damn, your music is a lot more evocative than I’d expect for four months.

I really enjoyed the Desert theme, but I think the Night theme had the biggest impression on me. That simple guitar + piano + string combo really is enough to bring a piece together. Props to you.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it and I'lm really looking forward to listening to your submission tomorrow^^

Submitted(+1)

You started composing four months ago ? That’s impressive both in quantity and quality, keep going !

I'll definetly keep going, I've been trying to make at least one trtack a week for 11 weeks now, and I definitely don't wanna stop and wanna  improve much more! I'll probably listen to your submission tomorrow, when I have a bit more time, and I'm really looking forward to it^^
