Beautiful art and great orchestra!
Your music will wow the audience right in a theatre story play, dynamically and classicalism in all sense.
I notice your story idea could complement & expanded from 12 Animal Zodiac, Journey To The West.
(long gives you question)
What is a work? A work of a person's thoughts, feelings, experiences, expressions but for what and who exactly?
Was it genuine?
Will it ever be inspired, helpful to others?
...
Thank you for listening & experience Self-Acceptance Full last year, my gratitude appreciation comes to your VANITAS entry as well.
I will always look forward to you and IndieKev entries, you guys breathe orchestral life into me (not much, just a little tiny bit of hope...)
(DummyTexas) oh god, it's maniacally that i love it!
(DummyTexas) This is what happens when you release a monster mariachi band disaster in SimCity, ya maniac!
The orchestral drums, ambience is so good, the vibe sounds & feels like NY City, you did well!
My favorite is The Unsleeping City (playful & maniacally), Witching Hour (the tension, yes)
I'm not sure about Respite Of Souls, it's hard to describe at heart, it's unsettling and between crossroads.
I really enjoy it. The ambience and vibe suits so well.
My favorite is Character Encounter—Your advice is not for the present me, Winsome Gloaming.
I can see the potential for Synthwave Unquestionably Must Make Everyone Rollick, I imagined a section of very slow long crystalline pad, punchy 80s bitcrush snare & doggo synth sound (for the heck of it! :))
"Okay, Mr. Hotel Owner, do you see anyone from room 246?"
(Mr. Hotel Owner looks at you up and down, his pen moving before shows his notebook)
(It was you...)
...
(Melinda sighs to herself)
"I would be better hurry if I were you, Ms. Melinda. The cops will be here with their donuts soon."
"Jeez"
My favorite are 7PM : In The Lounge and 9PM : At Dusk
You know, when I see the illustrations, I immediately think about Room 215 DS game :) and holy moly :] yes
(Was it all a dream or never was to begin with?)
My favorite is Love Beyond Existence and In Pieces of Mind
Could you put whole novel in this submission description? It would a shame, the effort of writing words, yet people don't know and get to read. I currently have to read from project description.
You claim:
No idea. No plan. No logic.
I respond:
Desire. Wanting. Longing.
&
Unreasonable.
Your ego keeps you alive this long, fox. It wants interesting things from you.
What scenery would you like to see and feel? For you and yourself?
Do for the record. Even if you alone will remember it for eternity.
Ideas come and go, but they will accumulate into a big boulder coming crashing into you hard.
When that happened, you better express them truly and properly!
PS. I learn some new words (from you) today, you're getting good at writing!
Story of DragonDisc! Utopia Dark Virus (Weekly Note Composing Jam #27 Dark Forest):
In dark night of digital forest,
The dragon girl engulfs the virus with her vicious blue flame
She said to you like a predator who sees her prey
"So, you have a disc on your arm."
"Do you want to survive or not? Life Points and Money is what you need"
"Welcome to Utopia!"
Hello, it's great to see you have fun, hopefully you learn something from us.
We = hoanglongplanner & DummyTexas, we are a unit (ViolettaLappy VYL)
The context would be hard, because it expands on previous work: Self-Acceptance Full, the importance is the contrast between Hildegard & Brigidiseele in terms of character vibes & behaviors.
Self-Acceptance Full (Ost Composing Jam 7) by hoanglongplanner
For Brigidiseele Lovely Introduction, yep you right, the rhythm is done by hand, you could see my sanity is cracking somewhere, spamming one key with rhythm for 16 bar whole
They are all presets with little tweak, Harmor, Sytrus & Vital are main synths. WeatherM is the best on Harmor presets for atmospheric stuffs

We don't mind check out your game/tool sound design, we can give feedback. (We mainly do stuffs in DAW, not much very into recording)
I got sent here by Texas, passing on their review message to you
Lupo loves this soundtrack, with its engaging story behind it too
Our Garden (Main Theme) - Melodies are beautiful, with piano, flute, and violin strings tenderly attached yet pulling heartstrings, the brass pushing forward with such force of conviction. Sad yet beautiful.
Concrete Sandcastles - Loves the guitar and its slide, I imagined the girl playing with sand, glancing at the window once and a while seeing the vast space from the spaceship (Kinda contradictory to how main story supposed to be, oops).
Storm Warning V1 - Nice, the ambiance gets lupo imaginative about exploring,
The vibe reminded me of some FTL, Modern Warfare 2 (2006), Spec Ops: The Line, and Hiroyuki Sawano.
PS. You know, each time after the soundtrack ends, SoundCloud just autoplay The Christmas Song Will Stetson, could you make a Christmas song in this apocalyptic sandstorm place (or Delphinium will throw a tantrum if you don't bring a present) :]
PS2. Kinda wishes more people would listen to this :(
Hey fox, if you managed to read this
The small lupo ask me to stand by here for 1 hour deep in thoughts, goddammit Texas
Ya really make the lupo worry about ya so much, so really goddammit fox
...
Thank you for listening, I mean it
At this point, you should understand what is means about self-acceptance.
It's about time, you dumbass.
(The small lupo is around somewhere, i'm sure that one feels proud about ya)
Because you fulfilled a promise.
Before I forget, this is what the small lupo wrote

Such a memorable and intriguing soundtrack for me, the music and description
At first, I didn’t understand much, not have much listening experience in genres (Acoustic Orchestra, Film Scoring, Ambient). On repeated listening, I found myself appreciating more, and noticing little details. It just grows on me to become my favorite :]
On the music,
Acoustic (in a way of Asian style), Minimal, and Ambient create colorful texture landscape.
In Between, Embark, Plain, Meander, Erupt and There Is Void are special and hard to describe, but they reinforce the theme unconsciously.
Sand Tower is memorable to me, I would find myself humming and hearing bumbumbumbahbumbumbum back of my mind, a push-pull effect, it is like I have to drag myself each step.
On the description,
It resonated as someone who has done creative work (both story writing and music), the frustration and struggle with oneself towards creative art creation. I would love to read a story written by you, that would tightly tie the soundtrack as its own identity.
PS - I would love to remix this, to explore some of the ideas in my free time.
PS2 - To get you started, what is the girl's name and her life? (keep it a secret from me, and continue writing :])
Thank you for your mind-blown!!
Me and Texas could be described as music arranger hobbyist, who never went through music school (We would break every instrument we could find, force 3 drummers to play at the same time, and throw the piano out the window), like to listen and embrace different cultures (Classical, Acoustic, Electronic, Game Soundtrack, DJ Mix, Doujin Music Groups,...)
If you want to do this genre or lack thereof,
Understand the instructions so far? No, well broke the rules. (Don’t break Mono Mixing rule, or you have a bad day)
Good, now make music that wow me and Texas, and inspires someone to take music composition as their hobby
PS -
"A plushy that is not a fumo should be called a plumo"
I apologize on behalf of this lupo
PS2 - Kinda a long response. Oh, the pun.
Nah, ya cool, don't be too hard on yourself, please do be considerate for others (they may not share the same view unfortunately, just be careful :/)
Our taste (me and texas) is a combination of doujin music groups, game soundtracks, and other artists too
Doujin Music Groups:
Games:
Artist:
Thank you for business transaction, we do hope you enjoy our weird tastes (and found some that inspire and encourage you to do music)
PS - We don't mind ya share this post to others :]
PS2 - Gotta check your heroes one day :]]
I appreciate your honesty :]
Your opinion is valid, we have our taste buds, we enjoy what we like, and we don't want people to shove their taste into ours. Let them explore and find what they like.
You don't understand this genre is also valid because I don't understand what I'm making :] If it sounds good and I like it, screw it.
On distortion stuff, I just want to protect your ears on certain tracks (Hildegard Vision, UM2S Diagnostic), this is one area that I have to be careful with (EQ out high frequency but still keep the original design intention, boomy but not constant ringing, importantly keep the vibe going)
Volume, ahhh hmm, well just listen to the level you comfortable, want to vibe with (Let the house boom if ya need to)
PS -
To quote from Texas "It's Celeste but more pixel who continue to contribute the community with unconditional love, me likey"
idk it's a positive or negative thing, but the small lupo insists on it
PS2 -
I am interested in your taste buds, could you introduce some of your favorites? (Me and Texas might love it, I would introduce ours too as a fair exchange) (Someone introduced us to ZEUHL rock genre, which is kinda of a surprise for us)
