Soundtrack for an imaginary game about a little girl, who can make anything happen in her dreams.

Yume is a 4 years old girl who suddenly left her home in Japan with her father for mysterious reasons. She always had the power to make anything happen in her dreams, and this is the only way she knows to be with her mother again. But her new life in Europe and the difficulties of growing up in a different environment is changing her perfect world, and every time she has a problem in real life she must defeat it in her dreams.

"Time to sleep" is the main theme/title theme of the game. It describes the most important part of the game, the moment Yume goes to sleep and contains many instruments of the other tracks and fragments of their musical themes.

"My dream is my world" is the moment when Yume enters the world in her dream, where everything is suspended in time and she can feel the warm presence of her mother, who protects her from the scary things.

"My world is shifting" depicts the discovery of something creepy and wrong is happening in her world. Japanese references underline her cultural background, where folkloristic monsters such as yokai are very well known to children.

Track made for Alternative Soundtrack - music jam #2 on itch.io.

​I tried to imagine a sunset scene, with people coming back home and preparing dinner on their favorite island!  The idea was mixing acoustic instruments and chiptune sounds, to create a funny and goofy effect typical of Animal Crossing, without distracting too much the players while they enjoy the game. I hope it works, have fun!

8 PM - Inspired by Animal Crossing

This challenge was very hard.
Super Mario without its Underground Theme is impossible to imagine, so I tried to think about a remake of the original game in a modern style, pushing the Switch at its limits. Maybe a remake for the next console?
I tried to use different sounds to get the feeling of the original game, mixing them with other synths that resemble the modern Nintendo sounds, keeping in mind the darker vibes of the underground setting.

I hope you like my work and wish you a good listen!

Down In The Sewer - Alternative track for Super Mario's Undeground Theme

I love the game and it was a blast trying to create a track that could fit the original soundtrack.

This track is intended as an alternative take of the Coral Riff boss music, so I wanted to make it groovy with a big relevance to the bass and the brass, without forgetting the pulse of the kick to help the players. I also wanted to add the voice of the boss in the style of the original soundtrack. Since it already plays all the instruments with its tentacles, what about singing?

I hope you enjoy my take!
