Description
Loop Point 1 - 0:38-2:33

Loop Point 2 - 2:38-4:02

The water flower was a gift to the earth, but over time its petals have begun to fall, each petal has become its own destructive entity and it is up to you to put the petals to rest.

This is a Boss theme for the imaginary game Gift of the Water Flower. 1st phase is calm and reflects a budding flower, transitioning into the 2nd phase the boss "blooms" attempting to turn into it's own flower.

And i thought your production chops couldn't get any better after the previous stuff I've heard from you...

Just ******* amazing stuff, cant really say more!

A pro-level production! The techniques are truly mastered, and the build-up at 2:35 (especially the beginning) is magnificent! The mix is very well-balanced, but... :p it lacks a bit of overall dynamic range (maybe a tad too much bus processing or on the master?).

Huge bravo for this magnificent production :)

Its very cool to see everyone's different aspect of my theme and see how transformed it can be, you really have your own vision and you always keep going for it, arrangement is fantastic, composition is great as always. If I want to actually critique something even though its been a while I know your style and what you can do and even though its still pretty epic at 3:22 you get your first big hit after a while, this section could really be even more intense and epic and I know you're capable of doing it, the choir at 1:15 is the beginning of what you could put back after the last punch but exagerated. Great job.

Thank you for the critique! I definitely feel like I rushed the second phase a bit, there was a lot more that I wanted to do with it like build it up into a bigger section but didn't have the time. I'm glad you like my arrangement and composition!

Oh man, this is crisp as hell! I found it hard to even picture a scene for it, like the sound could just exist and entertain from within its own dimension.

If you were to pair this with visual media it would have to look really damn slick as well or the visuals might struggle to keep up otherwise.

Very cool project!

Yeah, you've got the sauce. Your sound design is so technical and delicate. Mix is appropriate and phenomenal. Wow.

Sometimes there's a song submission that's just such a clean vibe that I can't really say anything about it without doing it justice so I make a silly comment not really talking about the music.

That said, shoutout to the patterns "Violin :3" "The Pizza Delivery" and "Bulgarian" here I have no idea what two of those are doing but they sound important <3

Hahaha never know who checks my screenshots

The Pizza Delivery is the name of the synth bass I used, I like to name my synth patches the first thing that comes to my mind after I'm done. And Bulgarian is the choir "style

That was great, I especially liked how frantic 2nd phase gets at around 3:30.

YouTube messed with your quality at the beginning of 2nd phase with those big sounds, but it was well worth it to download the .wav and listen again :)

Great job!

I see no Atlantis from here

I felt totally inside the imaginary game, which is something not easy to achieve :)

The game theme itself is also very creative. I also liked the unique whisper groove, full of character and (appropriate) darkness. Thumbs up! 👍🔥

Seeing the name Twitchywhalez I know I’m in for a treat! This is just awe inspiring emotional with a dark and yet epic sound. I really was a BIG fand of your work in the composers OST #7 but this is also pure gold. The sound design paired with the subdued Czech choir just oozes ambience and then the finale, just goose pump material. And yet also everything mixed so well. As always, this is just a masterfully done job! I can only tip my head and sit here in awe.
