Message from the artist:
I was originally going to do an electronic intro/menu tune with some rhodes piano, but i decided halfway through to take this jam as a chance to practice using orchestral sounds, since i've been procrastinating doing that for some time now.
Theme
Panspermia (Πανσπερμία)
How does it fit the theme?
I took inspiration from the panspernia hypothesis for a sort of setting where life appears on a planet and ends, because of organism's brought from outer space

This is a solid modern score in the styles of Hans Zimmer and Keichii Okabe. While the chord changes are predictable, the arpeggios and melodies are subtle in their winding and expressive cleverness, and the breakdown feels immensely disarming prior to the A' Section, which ramps up on the militaristic feel with well-handled horns. My only caveat is that it only feels like Aliens because of NieR: Automata. Oh, well. Five Stars for Quality.

Thanks! i'm a bit inexperienced with using orchestral samples and all the midi cc automation that comes with them, so this track took me some days to get to this state. That's why i didn't make more tracks.
