Description
This track was inspired by the theme "The Far Reaches" and an image provided. The piece is meant to depict a journey to a faraway land and consists of 4 distinct sections - the start of your journey, leaving your hometown, leaving your last familiar environment, and arriving at your destination.
When making the track, I visualised this as an RPG where you start out a long journey with cutscenes and visuals of your final destination, followed by leaving your hometown into the wider world. After a long period of travelling, you enter an environment where the last traces of familiarity are gone. Things are unfamiliar and cold, yet not hostile. Finally, you arrive at your destination.
In every part of the journey, I chose to either change the energy of the music or the timbre of the instruments being played in order to convey the main emotions associated with the different parts of a long journey like this.
Music was made with a combination of standard orchestral instruments and some instruments from my culture that I used to play.
