Woah, this is ominous. I especially liked 3:06 - felt like the discovery of an underwater palace! The intro sections helped to set the stage. Good work.

Yeah, that's basically what I was going for; Mysterious, Ominous, & Grand!

BTW, that Plug-In that makes it sound so interesting at around 3:04 is the Aquae Organ Kontakt Library, IIRC.

ngl my mind doesnt go to beach on this but regardless this is really really sick. i agree with it feeling like it would fit in a soundtrack 

Developer

I can see why people don't really see how they can connect this song to a beach-like vibe. Most people seem to think of a nice, happy beat filled with Ocean Sounds, Steel Drums, & Whatnot (Or At Least That's What I Expect People To Think From What I've Heard), but I mostly thought about Scuba Diving a few miles off the shore... That's the thought that I had when trying to brainstorm ideas. Now, there's this Soundtrack that came out of that idea; Beyond The Beach.

I do like this ambient type stuff, but I was struggling to make the mental connection to the beach. Floating helpless on the waves maybe...  It's certainly a bit bleak, but it would work great in certain games, I imagine.

Developer

Yeah, my music can be quite confusing... It is supposed to be more on the creepy side, kind of like "Who Knows What's Beyond The Beach?". That's basically what I was aiming for in this Soundtrack.

you liked the textures in mine? the textures in your track are on another level. I like 2:36. The drums and percussion feel really imposing

Developer

Well, I can tell you that the Textures are from Omnisphere, & the Drum Loops beginning around 2:36 are Drum Sample Loops. I think that they are from a Wonky Loop Collection of sorts, if I remember correctly. I then added a lot of reverb too. I was going for a kind of a mixture of feelings, like Ominous, Strange, Mysterious, yet still Grand & Beautiful all at the same time. Glad to see that it seems like you enjoyed it!

Ok, I wasn't expecting this at ALL!

Love the vibes! Gives me 'Annihilation' mood... 


Would totally fit a movie soundtrack!

Great job!

Thanks for the compliment! I was going for a VERY unique vibe to what you'd expect... I'm actually scoring some parts of a movie for a friend, but it's nothing too exciting. I think I get a lot of people saying that my music sounds a lot like Silent Hill, Annihilation, or some other horror-themed game. I do like making horror/deathdream soundscapes for games!

That's awesome to hear!! I'm sure your friend will be pleased!

Keep it up!! 💪💪✨✨😊😊

Developer(+1)

I will for sure!
