Description
Kind of a mix of chillout electronic orchestral. This was made in one Ableton project
Artist comment:
I made a "light world" and "dark world" song for this challenge. At any point in the song you can fade into the other one seamlessly. I created (and included in the Itch page) a small Unity project that allows you to do this :)
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I wrote a light world and a dark world theme for a forest setting. You can fade between the two songs at any point and they will mesh together :)

My kind of ambience!
Glad you liked it :D
Glad you like it! The Unity project took maybe an 90 minutes to make. You can watch the stream where I make The Vile Grove and the Unity interface here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1416542447
This was a cool submission. I like the production and feel to the music. Thank you for your work!
exceptional representation of the theme!
I can totally imagine this as an actual Game Soundtrack, well done! Also great work on the fading at any time, I've been a big fan of this sort of dynamic scoring since the first time I played Banjo Kazooie. Also I do have quiet a soft spot for odd time signatures :D
I'm not sure how the song ended up in 10/8, but I'm glad it did! Was fun to mess with for sure! If you were interested in more cross-fade style music I did a soundtrack called The Maker's Eden where the main 10 minute gameplay loop was designed to fade between three different versions of intensity. You might dig it :) https://abstractionmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-makers-eden-act-3
Oh neat, thanks, I'll definitely check that out as soon as I have time to listen to non-jam music again :D
Nice subtle ambience. Never overbearing. Great contrast between the light and dark. That theremin towards the end is cute, like a mischievous forest spirit mocking you.
Love the ambiance and correlation between the two styles.
Love the contrasting vibe of each, and keeping them both interchangeable is a super nice touch. Great Job!
Lovely compositions! I especially enjoyed the verdant grove
