Description
An electronic/orchestral fusion soundtrack composed for a visual novel game. Made in Reaper.
Message from the artist
This soundtrack comes from an imaginary visual novel, where the main character is a troubled man who rediscovers himself on a boardwalk with a girl he knows. All in one summer night.
I wished to have more songs originally, but school hindered me to just 4 tracks. I'm proud of most of these, though.

Every track on this was just really pleasant, enjoyed the ambience, composition was pretty solid.
Gave you an itch follow, and reposted/liked all tracks in SoundCloud and integrated them into some soundtrack/ambient/vgm playlists there which i maintain.
If you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.
Cheers!

The gentle mix of strings and electronic stuff works well to create a very relaxed vibe. After coming out of a bunch of high-octane songs, this was a really nice little break. For some advice a common thing I like to recommend to people making orchestral stuff is to automate your instruments more! Just a simple volume/velocity automation can add a ton of dynamics and realism to all the instruments and helps it flow more. Overall still a fun little soundtrack, great work!
These were simple but they were also nice.
Nothing too complex but they felt complete if that makes sense.
holy cow. the electronic-orchestral blend is so tender and soft !! it’s like rediscovering yourself in a single, reflective summer night !! what an awesome work this is.
Nice little collection of songs. The hybrid approach was a nice touch. Though I think the drums where a bit to upfront and stiff sounding to me.
There was a narrative structure, but I would also have liked to read your view on your songs and how they are ment to be placed in your game.
Nonetheless this was a nice submission.
I love it! super chill soundtrack but it's still packed with enough emotion to capture the listener, I would so dig hearing this in a game! nice work!
