This is a musical track for a fictionnal video-game. This was made for the OST composing Jam 2024.
The music was inspired by both the illustration and words "Inside my world" (the link for more information : https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-7). Here's the story :
The game follows a character that looses their way in the very beginning. As they look around them, they see a beautiful landscape in the sunset and they meet a spirit. They choose to follow them. This is represented by the main illustration by Ombremonde, here is their work :

During the game, you'll get to meet different spirit characters and get attached to the spirit that helped you. I imagine the game as a 3D, story-focused game, with light platforming and puzzle mechanics involving interactions with the spirit.
The track I've submitted takes place in the last third of the game, during a "festival" in which inner worlds, spirit worlds and human worlds merge for a brief moment (represented by the second screenshot, theme of the OST jam. The artist is https://www.instagram.com/kawaakar._/).
I imagine the track during a cutscene in which the character you control finally can see the "world" of the spirit character. The character you control explore the inner world with awe but begin to realise that they're just an observer, that they'll never get to fully be "inside" this spirit's world and that their real (human) world is waiting for them.

OST Composing Jam Description :
I used Magix Music Maker as the software during the 13th of July (composition) and 14th of July (mixing). I used Vsti but no samples were used. This is an orchestral track that was inspired by both themes. I didn't have musical reference, but for the last part of the music I've submitted I hear a little bit of "Avatar the Last Airbender" influence I guess :D
The third screenshot shows my software and the midi tracks I recorded with a midi keyboard.
I give permission for the track to be used in the compilation of the jam.

Thank you for listening! I loved making this track, apart from three sofware crashes (and saves loss...). I hope you like it, and feel free to comment what you see when you hear the track! :)

I love this man, the ambiance is so chilling and almost lonely. After reading the description I realize that's on purpose considering the protagonist has strayed from his path early on, as well as the event where the human and spirit worlds join. It also gives me Deltarun/Chrono Trigger vibes. Perfect choice of instrumentation too, all the parts meshed seamlessly together. Keep up the good work!
Hi and thank you for your feedback! I'm glad that what you felt is coherent with the description! I did try to build up the theme through the music, and I'm so glad that it gave you those vibes :D
this is so beautiful :^( i checked out the illustrations by ombremonde and they fit the vibe of the song you made, it feels kind of nostalgic, i love it :^(
Hi ! Thank you for the kind words :D yeah, I guess I wanted a bit of nostalagia towards the end ^^
