Gorgeous ambient sound. Very clean mixing as well.
I love that it's all spatially arranged well.
Really beautiful work.

Description
A humble bard is searching a lost civilization that lived among the clouds. Facing the sun atop of a mountain, he plays on his violin the melody of his people in the sky.
Story:
1. Aria of the Sky: As the bard plays the melody he knew since he was young, the clouds open as they unveil the land he's been searching for his whole life.
2. Chamber of Secrets: Many don't know what happened to the land above the clouds. So the bard studies searching old ancient archives deep down in a cold cavern.
3. To Fly Someday...: A hopeful wish to fly among his long lost people someday.

What a flight this OST is. Lovely themes and nice orchestration. In The Chamber of Secrets one can hear the come-and-go waves reaching the cave the bard is searching the archives in. In Aria of the Sky at first I got confused with the introductory flute solo, but one has to learn to wait for the right moment to have a character reveal itself — and there he was, the bard playing his beautiful violin melody. To Fly Someday… brings us so much intimacy with the character, as one feels closer to him and his fondest wish to oversee his lost people from the skies one day. You did a great job with these three tracks, thanks for sharing :)
Lovely soundtrack! I really like how expressive you made each track; I really liked the Chamber of Secrets. And the final track To Fly Someday was an excellent solo piano track that tugs at the heartstrings.
Just a slight nitpick; some of the tracks had some noises that I don't think were intentional; Aria of the Sky had some clicking/clipping noise at one moment and To Fly Someday had almost a low microphone feedback hum near the end. The tracks are wonderful, but these small things took me out for a moment.
Otherwise, excellent work!
I love the expression you laced into Aria of the Sky! It felt very cloud-like, airy, of the sky and looking up toward it. To Fly Someday... really does cradle the longing to soar high in the sky. Excellent work!
Beautiful ! It was really nice to listen to it ! "To Fly Someday..." is my favourite, the piano reminds me sometimes of Zelda Breath of the Wild, especially from 0:49 to the end. The atmosphere and the ambiance is great and each track fills its purpose (also "Chamber of Secrets" reminds me a little of Mech Mice, an old browser game which had good environment !).
this was so beautifully composed, you somehow captured that longing feeling perfectly! the final piano track really tugged at my heartstrings with that description attached... breathtaking submission and easily 5s across the board for me!!
How magical! Both your more grandiose and more low-key parts/songs sound amazing!
