I like the concept of a game/visual novel that's just about quiet reflection and introspection. I think the music captures that well. The concept of each track representing a time of day and the emotions that go with it is interesting too.

Genres: Classical, Symphonic.

Track 01 - "Hints of Dawn"
This piece would play during the Title screen of the game. It is a quiet piece meant to represent both the protagonist's past and their optimism for the future.
Track 02 - "Another Morning Comes"
This piece would play during the "Day" sections of the game, evoking the sense of watching a new day unfold as the sun rises.
Track 03 - "Dim Revelations in Starlight"
This piece would play during the "Evening/Night" sections of the game, meant to represent the quiet introspection that comes with the end of they day. The skies fill with twilight as the sun sets beyond the horizon.
Collaboration between Vortex and GooComposer
We started out by making a small piano sketches and then swapping them with eachother, we then developed and orchestrated the others sketch into the full pieces while getting feedback from eachother. It was a ton of work but we pulled through and are very proud of the final products!
Theme
Inside my world
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
The soundtracks are quiet, contemplative pieces that would play in a game about contemplation and introspection. Both things we think relate to the "insides" of someone's world.
The picture inspired us to make a dreamy, slightly japanese styled arrangement.
