Ice Cave

Featured Replies

I consider this another palette cleanser.  Just a simple piece without microtones meant to evoke a mood/vibe for the purpose of being background music for an Ice Cave location in a videogame.  I'd appreciate any comment, critique, suggestion or observation!  And thanks for listening!

Edit:  I've actually reused the motif of this track in Underwater Cave - Microtonal VGM!

A very good effect overall.
The high tessitura of the melody, as well as the arpeggios in that area, give a very ethereal effect and also suggest drops of water falling. Another thing that I think contributes is leaving the note suspended in the second part of the bar in the accompaniment.
There are also some very beautiful harmonic changes, such as in bars 6 and 5...
It sounds fantastic.

The only thing I might suggest is to bring out the melody a little more by either lowering the right hand by an octave (in some parts at least). Sometimes its hard to hear the very high notes, especially when paired with the deeper notes of the left hand. But aside from that, the music itself is beautiful, especially in this context of an Ice Cave.
