Ooooh, really liked it when the trumpet came in, almost a minute into "foggy black market"! This OST has a nice and atmospheric personality to it. :) Love what you've got going on, I feel it could be elevated even further by playing around a bit more with dynamics for certain instruments! Great job on creating this!

Description
Overarching game idea is to have a story-based adventure game, with a lone player character discovering a wondrous, magical new world, and finding companions along the way.
moon forest base: The idea here was to have an evolving home base, with different instruments being the different recruitable friends throughout the adventure. I was thinking about something like Tarrey Town in BOTW getting new instruments as you add villagers, or the title screen theme in Yoshi's Island evolving each time you beat a new world.
foggy black market: I wanted to have a sketchy groovy black market vibe, with a sudden spacey interlude for special events that might happen during the market. I wanted a sharp contrast between the two sections, with the interlude section feeling otherworldly and magical.
title theme: Tried to convey a lonesome, pastoral feeling here for the main title theme. Wanted the french horn to create a soaring melodic theme over the kind of empty piano sound. And then adding in string for the lush pastoral mood, and convey the idea that the world is beautiful and full of things to explore and discover.

Message from the artist
First time participating in something like this. Thank you so much for listening!
Theme

How does it fit the theme?
I thought both of the themes convey a sort of otherworldly yet slightly grounded feeling, if that makes sense. I tried to target a rustic sound with soaring melodic lines to capture the vibe I wanted here.
