Voyage into the Depths

"Voyage into the Depths" is a dramatic orchestral track written for the OST Composing Jam #7. It starts with some ambient soundscape synths representing the vastness of the sea, noise textures representing the waves above, and then some arpeggiating bass synthesizers define the track's rhythm. The female choir adds a dramatic effect, as if your adventure down has a huge sense of importance. The melody is played by a glockenspiel, highlighting the child-like nature of the character.

Later in the track, a small solo of the dramatic cello ensemble with the build-up shows the difficulties and sense of doubt of the character, but as the track crescendos, you know your destiny lies in this sea and these depths; you are certain.
