Description
(Created in Beepbox mods!)
You're a bird. You've shared the canopy with your family your whole life, completely ignorant to the world below you. You fall beneath. The hidden world is upset with you.
Beneath the Canopy is a soundtrack for a theoretical story-based puzzle RPG. As a result, each track is set for cutscenes, levels, or bosses. All of this was created in Beepbox mods called JukeBox.
1. lightning bugs
You fall beneath. At first, the landscape is beautiful, full of beautiful flashing lights as you traverse.
2. beneath the canopy
The environment isn't as friendly as you thought. They're mad at you for your greed. You must navigate through enemies while platforming through the branches, down to below.
3. poor customer service
You'll take what you can get, even if this shopkeeper isn't happy with you inside.
4. deep dark
Not even the caves are safe. The light twinkles of blue crystals are interrupted by the growls of monsters. The light won't save you now... time to go back up.
5. zugunruhe
You're determined to find a way out, and perhaps provide the world beneath with the sunlight you've enjoyed your whole life. A palace of sorts is just up ahead...
6. parasite
The palace. The king of the beneath has found you. He's an owl much bigger than you. You run from him, as you complete difficult puzzles. He progresses slowly, unphased by your presence, seeming confident he'll catch you.
7. ancient rays
By a stroke of luck, you find the way to release the sunlight within his palace. He's angry. Fortunately, now that the world beneath knows the truth, they join you in this final battle.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I interpreted the characters in the picture theme to be "playable characters" of sorts, with this cover being the original world. The forgotten world I thought would be beneath the canopy they are perched upon. I hope you enjoy listening! :)

Love the groove of the whole soundtrack, it's so fun to listen to! Also really amazing you managed to make this all in BeepBox, I have no idea how you got it to sound so good. My favorites were poor customer service with its rhythmic variations, and ancient rays, which was just an awesome way to finish the soundtrack. Great job, and thanks for sharing!
thank you, i appreciate it !!! :)
I like the combination of a rhythmic, energetic melody and those lush pads in the background. Especially love “beneath the canopy” and “deep dark” because of this. “parasite” and “ancient rays” are also bangers
thanks so much!!!! :)
Really imaginative story, that's typically the kind of game that I love. Some tracks are really groovy !! Parasite mix sounded really low and a little muddy on my monitors, but could be a me issue ?
thanks a ton!!!
i like the atmosphere of this ost. i loveee zugunruhe and parasite, they're both catchy as fuuckk
thanks so much, i appreciate you!!! :)
The rhythms and grooves in this are really nice and they just feel really nice! I don't have much feedback but this is would be something I would listen to in my free time!
thanks so much!!!!
First of all, poor bird D:
I think this soundtrack fits right at home for a puzzle RPG. Having some more moody and dissonant tracks mixed in with some grooviness works together really well. I especially liked the rhythms and textures in ancient rays, probably my favorite amongst all of these great tracks. This is an excellent submission, congrats!
thanks so much!!!! i really appreciate you for taking the time to listen! :)
Fellow 7/4 enjoyer
This submission is sick. Some of the rhythmic switchups can be jarring but there's a lot of cool stuff going on. The melodies are interesting and the soundscape is lovely. Great job!
Favourite track: beneath the canopy
AYEEE!!! i love me some 7/4 / 7/8... i fear i cannot make a single project without it SOMEWHERE. this time i rly released my inhibitions and put it everywhere
anyway im glad you enjoyed it, thanks for listening!!!!! :)
i love the pretty ambience of the opening with the menace slowly seeping through. track 2 is just moody and cool as hell. love those distant evil synths in "poor customer service" backing the melancholy groove
throughout the whole ost you have these moody dark chords and textures but it never loses the fun, propulsive energy or the sense of playfulness. this is so good.
thanks so much for the detailed feedback!! :)
making these in beepbox is genuinely so impressive i could never figure out how to make a whole song let alone an entire album!!! really dig the swing halfway into poor customer service! the ost also fits the game description very well, very cool!!!
thank u so much!!! :)
These tracks gave me an odd feeling (in a good way), you managed to encapsulate alot of feeling with these tracks. I have no complaints.
