Description
The Concept is that you wake in a place called the Dreamscape, or your told its the dream scape by someone who claim to be a guide for "Dream Jumpers" you believe them and they guide you through dreams, until you find out your not dreaming and everything happening is real, and you need to survive and escape with your life, the beginning tracks start all calm and somber later tracks become more intense

Message from the artist
Honestly I've been really busy doing other things that It Interfered with concept of the Ost by a lot, having different ideas and thoughts, that changed the concept of the "game" and at this point I'm under a lot of stress about it so I made tracks that would best suit what i was thinking as best I could, if you like them thank you if not no hard feelings)

Basically I Had No Direction

Theme

Inside my world

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I Used The Picture Theme As Inspiration Of the Blue Bubbles Track, and the concept of traveling into different dreams/worlds is the for "inside my world" Each "Dream" is a world of its own

Nothing beats a dreamy soundtrack like a lot of reverb, the different directions you took for each of the songs are great and I like how the synths play out in "Abyssal" specifically, the vibes you bring here are super solid and ou have one of the best cover art I've seen in the entries, great job

Knight Light // OST Composing Jam#7

IndieKevSubmitted2 years ago

The variety is insane. I had some troubles with some of the tracks reverb wise, but I'm sensitive to it so don't pay me much attention. Overall it was really cool to listen through the OST, everything being so unique made it super enjoyable!

Tsuya - OST Jam 07

VannaDeltaFoxSubmitted2 years ago

Okay, uh. time for a most interesting contrast between the cover art and the soundtrack itself...

A Nightmare - Weibo, relaxing, and when the drums kick in towards the end, it's awesome.

Abyssal - OOOooooooooooooooooooooo (I love this chorus mixed with cute synthesizer, heh).

After The Arrival - Cool beat! A little play on the “strings” adds to the charm of the song.

Blue Bubbles - Mmm bubbles and echoes? Gorgeous! Only, I think there's too much echo from the chorus.....

Everythings Great! - HEY, everything is really great! Very colorful composition (Chic claps!). Feels like the atmosphere of something retro-happy. I like it)

I Cant Wake Up - Oh no... I want to wake up, but I can't... WHAT TO DO? HELP? (Good track. The breakbeat along with the synthwave creates its own atmosphere)

In Orbit - Space... Rocking Space!

Looong Dream - Heh, another cute track, but with a deep ocean feel.

Straight Forward - I think I've heard this guitar part somewhere... but I can't remember where) Definitely my favorite composition! Everything is great here: catchy melody, good rhythm and CLAPS. I listened to this track three times..... heh :_)

Interesting concept, well suited for the jam theme. Each track is unique, varied and complements each other well. Thanks a lot!

Patient Zero OST

BigManBanjoDeveloper2 years ago

thank you for listening to my tracks! I wanted each one to be unique but also feel like they belong with each other

Hilarious thumbnail, excellent music. I love how diverse the soundtrack is, each track is notably different from the last and it all still feels really cohesive. Fantastic work!

Submitted

BigManBanjoDeveloper2 years ago

yeah the thumbnail is pretty goofy to say the least, I'm not a very good artist so i just did what i knew, bad MS paint imaging, and thank you for listening to the tracks, I wanted them to be pretty different, but feel like they belong with each other!

vaanrileSubmitted2 years ago

Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the quality of the music.
Great experience, would recommend (on a more serious note, I liked the diversity and the instrumentation of the tracks a lot, my favourite would be either A Nightmare or I Cant Wake Up)

Inner Reality - Long Forgotten Memories

Hey thanks for listening to the tracks, I wanted to have a diverse pallet, but it still feel like they went together, as for the thumbnail i suck at art so i did what i knew best, bad MS paint images

Inside My World

BigManBanjoDeveloper2 years ago

thank you! It’s one of my favorites from the whole ost actually

Dylan90125Submitted2 years ago

I loved this! You show a broad diversity, yet the tracks are tied together in a way that could very well work as a cohesive sountrack. Well done!!

Submitted

BigManBanjoDeveloper2 years ago

1.) In Orbit - 4.3 / 5.0

A pretty good first track! Definitely makes you feel like you're in a dream. It starts off pretty calm and then picks up some pace when the drums are introduced.

2.) Blue Bubbles - 4.5 / 5.0

I like the chord progression with this one. Again, heavily gives off the "you're in a dream" feeling.

3.) After The Arrival - 4.5 / 5.0

A great, chill beat! I'm a sucker for LoFi-esque beats and this did not disappoint. I like the little accents in the background, definitely adds to the calm and chill nature.

4.) Everything's Great! - 5.0 / 5.0

Very nice work! I love the transition from no drum to drum, really does sound amazing and feels kinda epic if that makes sense.

5.) Straight Forward - 4.8 / 5.0

Very nice energetic beat. The tracks are picking up pace and sounding much more energetic. Definitely in line with the in-game explanation.

6.) A Nightmare - 4.5 / 5.0

A pretty ominous track! It gives off a sense of confusion as to what's happening. One thing I like about all the tracks is the great drum work, so props to you on that!.

7.) I Can't Wake Up - 5.0 / 5.0

Amazing beat! Funny enough it reminds me of "The Part Where He Kills You" from the Portal 2 OST, which probably just means you did a good job on this one! It gives off the feeling of being chased by something. Overall a very energetic and amazing track.

8.) Loong Dream - 4.5 / 5.0

A nice calming beat. Going back to a somewhat more calm feeling. I like it.

9.) Abyssal - 4.3 / 5.0

A pretty chill track and a nice way to end things off. I was expecting a much more intense and ominous track when I saw the title "Abyssal," but I guess never judge a book by its cover.

Overall a really good OST. You really did a good job in telling a story through just a few tracks and I admire that. Nice work!

That's all I guess, have a good day :D

(And also 11/10 cover art, brought a tear to me eye due to its sheer, undeniable beauty)

exedexes1Submitted2 years ago

Lol it was imperative that I rate this as soon as I remembered I saw the cover art in the Discord discussion a day or two back. ...And -also- your output is superb.
