The tracks felt a little bit chaotic, especially Lurking Wonder and Onwards We Go. I would say it was due to the many different melodies on instruments that take a lot of place (horns, trumpets...). Moreover, I would have used some drums on Arm Yourselves, like a sound similar to a military snare to give the track a bit more impact, and rhythm. Nonetheless, it was a great ost. My favorite track was The Cold Truth. I really liked the instruments you chose, they sounded very icey. Great job !
Great OST ! I really liked the coherence between your tracks. Holographic Design was very interesting, especially because it stood out from the rest of the ost due to the more electronic sounds. I felt like it fits well for a space theme, but I think I would have wanted more delay/effect on some background elements (like that square wave that repeats the same note throughout the song) for even more space-vibe. Nonetheless, it was a very fun ost and I enjoyed listening to it. My favorite track was Downhill Shore, it was lovely ! I really liked the peaceful vibe, the woodwinds and the sort of banjo for that countryside vibe.
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback ! Indeed, my tracks usually sound too dry and I will work on that. I'm so happy with all those kind words ! Very glad you've enjoyed our soundtrack. Thank you again !
That's an interesting observation. I personally made my tracks in that order (1 then 2 then 5), so that might be because I was feeling more comfortable with the theme as our soundtrack progressed.
Either way, I'm very glad to read you've enjoyed our soundtrack. Thank you for listening !
Thank you very much for the feedback ! Indeed, I personally still have a lot of work to do on my mixing overall. I really appreciate you pointing it out, and I'm glad to read you enjoyed it !
Amazing ost ! Your compositions are just beautiful. My two favorite tracks were The Voyage and Finale & Credits. I really liked the almost heroic feeling of The Voyage. It depicted very well the feeling of freedom. Finale & Credits was a track full of tenderness, and hope. It was heartbreaking (in a good way). Awesome ending track !
Absolutely beautiful soundtrack ! I loved listening to it.
Very nice mix of electronic effects and more organic instruments. It had a really cool vibe. I will join some other comments to say that it sometimes felt like a stronger melody would have been great to give it some ground.
Just... amazing soundtrack. The first track was a lovely lullaby, and I absolutely loved the silly/fun track. Those two latter tracks were so filled with tenderness and warmth, it was a delight to listen to it. I also loved how your track felt very connected to each other.
It was a beautiful work, and I loved every second of listening to it.
Thank you so much for the kind words ! I'm so glad you liked our soundtrack.
About the tin whistle VST, it's "Tin Whistle by Ventus Winds". I really love it because it has such a beautiful sound and got so many articulations, even though I didn't use most of them.
At the beginning, there was a really nice kind of dark ambience. Those background foleys were really interesting to listen to. And there was a cool contrast with the pretty ominous synth that played a rather bright melody.
And... during the middle, I could literally see the door open before me. It was a wonderful track, and I would have loved to listen to more. Amazing job.
That violin is just gorgeous. I loved the background voices as well. Really added impact. Gorgeous transitions as well. And the woodwinds were a treat for my ears. I love them.
Ground Level
Really liked the theme variant. The two tracks felt very connected.
And that piano near the middle... it was just divine. It felt so powerful. I almost had goosebumps during this part.
It was a real pleasure to listen to your OST, absolutely beautiful soundtrack. I would have loved so much to be able to listen to more !
That was your first time making music ? Oh my... that was pretty good !
I really liked "Village", the melodies really fitted well. My only concern would be that the drums are going waaay too fast for the melodies. I would also suggest to switch the instrument playing the main melody once or twice to make the track more interesting.
Awesome OST. The groove/funkiness was omnipresent (almost), and I love it. My two favorite tracks were Magic in Blue and Backstage. I really loved Magic in Blue because it was a very catchy track. I absolutely loved how you added that "woah" guitar that made that very cliché melody your own. I also loved the groove of Backstage. That clave was so funky !
Overall, the tracks felt very connected which made following the story through the music a lot funnier.
Very great work, I will definitely take a look at your other works. Thank you very much for sharing.
I am just... speechless. Your soundtrack is just a masterpiece. I am blown-up !
The background textures are so beautiful, those flutes are gorgeous and those drums... they have so much impact, so much energy and so much power.
This was just an absolute DELIGHT for my ears. Thank you very much for this present, sir. I will enjoy replaying it, and now I must take a look to your other works as well.
Very great submission ! I really loved the connection between your tracks. A Kingdom Made Of Clouds set up really well the different themes/vibes you were gonna use. The strings really created a flying/sky feel. In Air Kingdom Waltz, the airy/light feel from the main melody being played by a woodwind, the harmony sounding jumpy, and the lack of drums to make it less grounded was a great idea. Lullaby in the Cradle of Clouds was a lovely track. I loved the cozy side provided by the guitar, and the chords again to connect it with the other tracks. A Shop In The Sky fitted really well a shop. And again that succession of major chords to connect it with the other tracks.
Very interesting soundtrack. The different sounds you use are so creative and make your submission stand out a lot. My favorite tracks are either Naiad's Dance that I really liked for that more upbeat/fun song, and Surfing the Chromosphere, for that really cool groove and a bit arcade feel with the square lead. Loved the sort of xylophones in the background. Back To Blue had some crazy drums/basslines, the sound design was just gorgeous. I loved the textures at the beginning and end of Our Last Dance.
Very cool vibe. I also loved the ambience. The percussion side was making the tracks very interesting despite them being a bit ambient, so kudos for that !
The town theme had an interesting mix of a cozy vibe and a more ominous ambience/harmony. I would have liked some drums (a timpani maybe ?) in "Harpy of the Herd - Cord's Theme" to give it some more impact. Lastly, the reverse notes in "The World Remembers" created a cool dark atmosphere.
The mix of reverb and old jazz sounds created a very interesting (and sometimes kind of ominous) vibe. I enjoyed the more ambient tracks as well, but I'll join some other comments to say that there was a bit too much length.
Very nice OST ! I really liked Abel's theme and Sir Billsworth the IV's Theme. Both tracks were lovely.
Though, it was easy to hear the artificial side of the instruments you used. The snare rolls could sound a bit less artificial if you were alternating between high and lower volumes hits. More volume automation would have made this OST so expressive as well.
Nonetheless, it was a very fun listen. Great work !
Very cool soundtrack ! Very catchy, and the background textures you used really created a cool atmosphere. My favorite track was "poor customer service" because I liked the dancy feel coupled with the ominous ambience. It was very interesting to listen to it.
Cool lively track, very interesting melodies and counter melodies. I loved the different sections.
Our Peaceful Home
Lovely track. Once again, very great work on the melodies and the counter melodies.
Celestial Connection
Interesting delay effect ! It was very catchy but had a mysterious feel.
Cozy Town
Very cozy track but with a cool rhythm and energy.
The Ancient Token
The end makes me want to listen to more
Overall, very great soundtrack ! I really liked the work on the melodical side, with the many lively melodies and counter melodies you had, each organised in different sections that kept the track very engaging. Great work !
It was a delight to listen to it. I loved the beginning of "Beginning of an adventure", very gracious, and progressively led to a more fun part which I loved as well. I absolutely loved the layering fiddle/flute with melodies that aren't exactly the same but still match quite well, and I loved the strings/brasses harmony.
Wonderful OST. It was a delight to listen to it. The composition was gorgeous: each section was interesting and led perfectly to the next one. I especially appreciated Skylark, Guardian of the Oasis in the Sky Mountains for its numerous change of moods. The only things I felt unsatisfied with were the drums: it would have been amazing if they had a bit more impact. They felt a bit thin and could have been really huge, like with a timpani or another war drum.
But once again, your soundtrack was an amazing submission. I had a lot of fun following your story.
I really liked that rustic soundscape you created.
However, I feel like the whole OST sounded a bit artificial. The instruments sounded a bit harsh and too dry, and a bit of reverb (on the whole track) would have been great to soften those sounds, and make them blend together in the environment better. Also, I would have loved more drums. Nothing too crazy but some variations, eventually some notes in the higher octave to make it more interesting would have been great.
Lastly, my favorite track was Feydance. I really liked the use of those many instruments layered together. It created a lot of depth in the melodies, and I just loved it.
Very great job !
PS: I just saw that you're a fellow musio user like me :D
Pretty cool OST ! Maybe the Main Theme could have used more instruments that'd alternate for the main melody ? It felt a little bit repetitive. Otherwise, my favorite track was Devising a Stratagem; I really liked the chill/mysterious vibe. Once again, great job !
Cool ambience, the radio effect on the track was really interesting and I like the use of reverse notes.
Though, it felt a bit repetitive. Whether it's the melody played by the main synth, the strings or the background synth playing arps, it was repeated a bit too many times. More variations or longer themes would be great, but you could also use some macros on your main synth to make them change over time. Or use a completely new synth as well. I also felt like the bass line was a bit too simplistic, and there were a bit too much highs.
Lastly, I felt like the main synth were a bit too dry. They could use a bit more reverb, eventually have their volume a little bit lower as well.
And for the tin whistle, the VST that I used is Tin Whistle by Ventus Winds. I really like it because there are so many articulations and ornaments you can use. I personally only used 3 (the cut, the bend up, and the bend down) but there are many more.
Great soundtrack ! I really liked the background textures in the first three tracks. It really created a cool ambience, that was both ominous, mysterious and nostalgic. It was a great journey, and the ending in "The Witch" really depicted perfectly what you had written. My favorite track was "the forbidden lands" because I really liked the vibe.
Great submission ! I really liked Unfriendly Human for its sick bass and really cool drums.
My only concern would be that across the ost, the woodwinds were almost always playing continuously. I personally couldn't stop noticing it and I felt bad for that flute player who had to play without breathing for 50 seconds straight in Town Square.
Nonetheless, it was a lovely OST. I really liked that old JRPG feel.
Overall I really liked that atmosphere you achieved through the different voice/string/synth textures. It was a very interesting blend of ambient/experimental electronic music with more orchestral parts. The only negative feedbacks I have would be: The March Towards had very cool basses, but I kinda lacked some melodic lead or sounds with higher frequencies to have a little break from the basses. The voice in The Blue Beauty On That Day sounded a bit weird to me, and too close. I feel like its volume was a bit too high, and that low pass filter made the voice sound too dry/muffled, which made the voice sound detached from the rest of the instruments. It was very good when there was a lot of high-end and when the voice had a lower volume, making it sound more distant (near 1:02). You could also try to add a high-pass filter on top of that low-pass filter to make it sound more radio-ish. It could work as well.
Nonetheless, it was a very interesting soundtrack. Very great job !
Thank you very much for listening and for the feedback ! Indeed our tracks lack a bit of polish to make them sound less artificial. We will keep that in mind for the next time, thank you again !
