Journey to Adventure

By DESLRV on April 26, 2026 10:18 pm

I've been wanting to make this song for a month, but then things happened and it didn't happen until a month later. It's a whole thing involving other personalities and train rides, but it's here now. I'm satisfied with this, but didn't quite reach what I wanted to go for. Maybe later on I'll return to this song, or another, and see what's missing.
It'll be easy, even years apart. It's all just BBC orchestra and some other free stuff.

Inspired by a few other songs, more specifically this one and this one, as well as a few others to a lesser extend. Any closer to these would be ideal, though at that point I might as well make covers instead. Other than that, we've made journey/travel/adventure songs before, many years back. Those're worth looking back at, too. They hold up really well, but need a little touch.

Great use of string stabs - his does give the sense of an adventure (along with the birds). The fluites are nice, you're making the most of the BBC orchestra! I like how you finally take it to chiptune territory towards the end before ending on a nice piano.

Thanks, that means quite a bit coming from you, you'd know that stuff quite well. Yea, tried using the entire orchestra (piano included), and some chip metal elements because that's just kinda our thing.
Will probably develop further later on.

This is delightful.

I really get the feel of someone about to set out on a voyage across the sea!

vroom!

Energized and ready to begin the journey. Love the orchestral opening, sound epic!

Lovely orchestral feels throughout and really enjoyed the concert sound to the drums.  It felt like I was attending the performance in concert smile

i'm ready, let's go!

is it just me or do the birds sound a bit like dolphins sometimes too?

Who knows where the journey will take them. The sea may definitely be part of it.

Roads, man. Best thing ever.

Good, we'll need that.
A bit of training writing for orchestra, obviously not as symphonic as others, but this genre can get away with it. (which I think was the point, not adhering to classic in favor of progressive structure).

Yea, the reverb's nice. Feels really good.

They sound like different things to different people. I like dolphins, definitely the companions you'd want on a journey.
