I chose the text "The Death Knight". Instead of a made up game concept, I created a made up Anime story (sorry) and as such created a music menu around the Anime story to compose towards. Originally, I planned to compose 9 soundtracks but due to school I completed 7. At least I completed all the "important" soundtracks.
Made up Anime title: The Death Knight from Another World Works at a Convenience Store / 異世界からデスナイトはコンビニではたらく
Synopsis: The magical continent Lardo, was ruled by the Shadow One and his army of Death Knights. Using fear and brute force, he brought the entire continent to their knees and everyone lived in fear, that is, until a hero emerged and vanquished the Shadow One, wiping out his entire army. Gul, Commander of the Death Knights, fled using a teleportation crystal, only to end up in a land of tall buildings, moving machine animals, and no magic?
3 years later, Gul, former Commander of the Death Knights, finds himself behind a counter at a convenience store. Working 10 hours a day, selling groceries, heating up fried chicken and sleeping in the attic of the store. Join Gul in his everyday life working in a convenience store as he deals with boredom and other worlders looking for him.
Made up Anime Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Action
Soundtrack Concept/Inspiration: Some of the soundtracks were inspired by Anime such as Overlord, The Devil is a Part Timer, Re;Zero and The Saga of Tanya the Evil. However, I tried not to take heavy inspiration, listening to their music 1-2 times before never listening to them again through the duration of this jam due to fear that I might end up copying what the composers did instead of what I personally would do. The soundtracks is mostly orchestral with a few electronics and band instruments. I wanted to create a diverse list of soundtracks that showcases tension, laid back and action.
DAW: Cubase 12
VST/Sample Library used: Spitfire Audio BBCSO Pro, Original Rare Flutes, Original Epic Choir, Original Cimbalom, Original Pads, Albion Colossus, Spitfire Labs, Abbey Road Percussions
