Description
Electronica.
Set in the future, after the collapse of human civilisation, climate change has wreaked havoc with the seasons, and mythological creatures have come back into the world. You are a mercenary seeking these rare beings in order to harness their powers. Each creature moves with the seasons so you must move fast to find them before the seasons change again...
I have composed one track that moves gradually between the leitmotifs of the different seasons.
I chose a specific instrument for each season to carry the melody and reflect its mood. The music also reflects the changing landscape of the game, where hunters move between the forest and the ruins of once technologically advanced cities.
I used Ableton Live as my DAW.
Message from the artist:
Please enjoy this musical depiction of a future world where human civilisation has collapsed and climate change has played havoc with the seasons. Mythological creatures have come back into the world and the remains of the human race seek to harness their powers, pursuing them through forests and city ruins, as the tumultuous seasons ebb and flow around them.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The narrative focuses on the change of seasons in a game where hunters pursue mythological creatures that move, hibernate or migrate during different seasons, meaning that players effectively have a time limit to find the creatures associated with each season before that season changes. As the music gradually changes from one seasonal leitmotif to another, this gives players an indication of how much time they have left to locate/capture a creature before it is gone.

You do a good job of differentiating each seasonal track from the others and transitioning into the next, it never feels unnatural and really helps give a sense of journey to the whole soundtrack. Great job!
i love the whole idea of making the tracks fade into one another like that! i haven't seen much of that idea so it's pretty unique
I want to play this game! nice music too ;)
The third season is my favorite
The idea of a single track looping/fading through all four seasons is really clever! I am often a little bored by low-key ambient music, but this one held my interest tight all the way through!
Nice work! I like how you can tell when the "season" is changing.
