Description
In the (imaginary) game, you play as lost girl who is raised by birds in the wild and learns to fly. I imagine this a Metroidvania style game.

I originally wanted to make more songs for this, but I got I a bit burnt out as I am working on a few other things at the moment.

Software used: Ableton Live 12 Suite.

VSTs used: BBC Symphony Orchestra, Juicysfplugin (for soundfonts), and bellsEbuth.

The cover image is from Leonardo da Vinci.

Very nice submission. I liked Collection a lot. The percussion on the track was just fun to listen to.

really well-composed submission!!! the variation between instruments and their melodic lines really add a lot to this submission. i love me some polyphony.. the second track, despite being a bit shorter and of a different style, still brought a lot of power and color to the submission as a whole. the first one is my favorite, though - the composition is done very nicely, i can tell you put a lot of work into it! thanks for sharing :)

I appreciate how often the first track changes as it goes. I never got bored listening to it because there was always a new section coming up with different instruments and ideas.

The second track had some cool dissonances and the percussion reminded me of pikmin whenever a large enemy was nearby.

sometimes instruments felt a little harsh on the attack or in the mix as a whole but they were still quite enjoyable listens

The 2 tracks have a nice ebb and flow, The whole thing move very naturally and I really like that. The mix at times is more or less harsh but still a great entry!

kind of a Xenoblade 1 on wii vibe, that you could dig much further with a stronger concept of a game !

short and sweet! modulation in aviation was pretty cool though i think adding more instruments/variation to the current rhythm of existing instruments post-modulation could further accentuate that "taking flight" feel! nice work!!

This is a calming and nice soundtrack right here. I like the modulation in the first one and the percussion is nice in both, generally well composed, but more as separate pieces than an actual OST, since the concept of the game is very vague. But otherwise, good music :3
