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!

Music from Dustgrave: A Sandbox RPG, developed by Innervoid Interactive steampowered.com/app/2393370
Composed by Federico Simola

05 Dustgrave OST - Our Blades Will Dance

These tracks have been made for the OST Composing Jam: Crunchtime 04.

The theme "Freedom" and the picture theme (credits to @the_misty_eden) were incredible, and although I had only around 7 hours to dedicate myself to this, and thus could not introduce the track in between "Prison" and "A Leap of Faith" (it would have been called "Struggle"), I'm still happy I got something out there.

I haven't done anything music related since the last OST Jam, which are in line with the theme funnily enough. So this was my way of coming back and trying again, and trying to take that leap of faith that would get me out of my mind prison.

In here I will write a bit more about the details of the submission if you want to check it out later:
