Description
An electro album inspired by The Desolate Hope, save the last track.
A musical robot explores the ruins of a liminal civilization to recover its memories and piece together a song.
A warehouse was once used as a market/cargo area. An old, flooded subway was repurposed into a series of aqueducts. An empty church became a place of worship for the denizens' religion.
But that was years ago.
Explore and complete the final song.
Created in Fruity Loops Studio.

Theme

Songs of a Forgotten World

Hey, man! Glad to see you also made it on time to finish your OST. I found all the tracks very cohesive and great at setting a sombre but intriguing mood, perfect for that world you describe where a lonely robot is exploring empty abandoned spaces devoid of life but full of memories.

I would have difficulties deciding if my favorite is "The Aqueducts" or "Forgotten Chapel". In both of them the sound design and vibes are great, with that awesome "droplets" attacking sound in the first one, and the cool transition/drop around the 1 minute mark of the synth with delay. The sense of exploration created with the bass and the percussion also works very well.  In Forgotten Chapel, the melodic apreggios entering at 0:30 are amazing and the mix with the background choirs, bass and the drums is also very well done.

Best of luck and see you around!

What a mood, this gave me Stray vibes but it's got its own unique feel to it. And Forgotten Chapel? A certified banger. I love the ambience, you really nailed your world sound. Great work.

Very cool vibe. I also loved the ambience. The percussion side was making the tracks very interesting despite them being a bit ambient, so kudos for that !

Great work.

I really like how you composed this, and the melodies. The story can somewhat be felt, but mostly I like the compostion, especially the first song. 


Not related to the album but to the lore, subway lines would make horrible aqueducts and would be hard to retrofit, given all the rustable iron in the rails, high voltage wires, and uneven elevation, not to mention the way it would be exposed to the world at the stations; for both water transportation and water infrastructure the idea wouldnt hold water (pun intended)

Just had to let the ol' engineer out, anyways this track is really good. Have fun making more music!

This was a nice listen! Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with this genre but I think you made some really great choices when it comes to the sounds selected for these different areas. For instance, those little synth plucks at the beginning of the aqueducts track reminded me of water droplets and organ just makes sense for the chapel. I also enjoyed that melody you wrote for the last track.
