Description
Genres: Ambient Synth, Electronica / Runtime: 5:58 / Ableton Live
Made almost entirely on an Arturia MiniFreak Synthesizer.
Inspired by Journey, Animal Crossing, and the image theme provided, I had the concept of a game where you play as a seagull gliding through the sky and doing seagull things. This includes flying, diving at fish, stealing ice cream from beachgoers, and pooping on the heads of unsuspecting sailors. Rack up points and fly off into the night to leave a high score.

Thanks so much for giving me a listen! Please feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The soundscape has many oceanic themes related to the picture theme and the slow paced ambient qualities are reminiscent of a lazy summer night.

I really like your storytelling in music. The music fits your gameplay description perfectly.
Very well written ambient vibes, can imagine music playing for flying gameplay! It's a really cool concept, some tracks I'd like to see from a soundtrack like this might be whimsical music for mischievous seagull antics or deep intense ominous music for stormy weather. Nice work!
You can play a seagull! :D
This has such an aura of mystique surrounding it. It made a rather simple setting you described intriguing. One of my favorites so far.
Although, I shall be the one to ask the tough question. Which song was meant for the pooping on people’s heads minigame? I presume the last one with all the falling sounds.
I like the calm ambient vibes going on. I can imagine underwater exploration with these songs. Awesome job! Also shoutout to the visualizer you put on youtube to the tracks, really makes it feel like a little relaxing journey
I love the ambient and slightly chaotic atmosphere of this music, it fits seagulls so well! I would love to have some more info in the description so we listeners could get a bit more insight into what each track is trying to convey in the game. Great job!
Mesmerizing sound track. I really enjoyed the ambience you created with the synths. It aligns with the story quite nicely. Excellent work.
I like the sound selection here and I'm a big fan of keeping it simple in the orchestrations. These are some good low energy ambient tracks I could imagine in a real game, nice job!
The sound design is great! I can feel that it goes with the picture where we can see the seagulls, and the idea of mimicking seagull sound with synth is really cool! Great work!
Wow this is super ambient and really nice to listen to. It almost reminds me of a mix of the newer minecraft music and the terraria soundtrack, especially the first song. Nice job!
I like your interpretation of the picture theme and the way the notes feel random is nice. It has very good sound design.
You put the One Summer Night as a theme you followed but I don't feel like there was much in the music linking it to "one summer night". It could really be any old summer night. That would be my criticism, have it fit the One summer night theme more if you chose to also follow that theme.
