Description
I'm part of a collective of composers who brainstormed the lore of the game and divvied up the themes it would probably need. Each season has a world theme, a boss battle theme for the frenzied guardian spirit, and a healed theme for that same guardian spirit.
I chose to make the world theme, boss theme, and healed spirit theme for Spring.
World theme - Aeras Anoixi
Boss theme - Aelius Theme
Healed theme - Aelius Terminalis
All three tracks are played mostly on piano, recorded into Logic as midi. Piano VSTs used were Grandeur and Maverick. Ableton was used to add some additional sounds and mastering to Aelius Theme.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The girl in the picture must complete narrative arcs for each season in order to restore a balance. Each season has a guardian spirit that must be appeased in order to restore balance. Each season has a world theme, a boss battle theme for the frenzied guardian spirit, and a healed theme for that same guardian spirit. The guardian spirit of the Spring world is Aelius, or the Sun.

I like how it starts out with influences from 1900s authors such as Debussy and Satie. I also appreciate the stylistic change from the 6th track. Good work!

Your suite in the collective album is absolutely gorgeous, with some lush piano tones laying a foundation for your melodies - I really, really enjoyed it, you've done great!
