“Into The Star System” is the first piece of music we’ve created on YouTube. The orchestral-hybrid track is live on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
Preparation
The track is inspired by the OST (original soundtrack) of the game “Starfield” by composer Inon Zur, especially the track “New Atlantis”. While the game turned out to be a disappointment for many players, the soundtrack is still great.
You can witness the creative writing process in the first video (of 3):

Fun Facts
My background story that helped me making this track was so inspiring that one viewer accused me of spoiling the game 🙂
At that point i haven’t had played Starfield (i still haven’t) and my storyboard was pure fantasy.
Also i had to re-upload the track to Spotify due to technical problems (long story short) and to make sure there’s no confusion i changed the title from “Star System” to “Into The Star System”.
