Description
The soundtrack is for a game where you are running with a child named João. You are taking João away to safety. The evil empire is trying to take João and get rid of him. The first track is background music. The second track is for game play. The last track is after you get João to safety and have completed the game. I used a piano and came up with running style themes, developed it and then I took it to Logic Pro and produced it.
Message from the artist:
Thank you for listening, hope you enjoy the music!
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I used the image to come up with ideas while thinking about why the person in the picture is running and what he is running from.

Whimsical and innocent sounding tracks, cleverly put together. Not sure I imagine "Run" as more than a brisk walk but it sounded great regardless. And "The End" was charming and was indeed the perfect end.
Thanks, yeah I really like how The End turned out. It was one of those ones that came out different and better than expected when finished haha
Nails that forest vibe. The End was my favorite, so pretty, and love the slowdown towards the end of it.
I agree with what was written above. It really fit presence of Forest and walking through it
Thank you! The End ended up being my favorite of the three as well.
I really like the vibes from these tracks. It truly sounds like it could just be thrown into a game and work as is. Can't say the same thing about my own haha. I can hear the sort of fantastical/mystical feelings from each song.
Thank you!!
Great Zelda/Koji Kondo vibes in this one, especially Story. These three pieces sound enchanting and they stay with you. A bit of shame that you have a hard cut between the tracks. The whole thing would really benefit from having a full medley track containing the three of them.
Thanks! That sounds like a good idea. Maybe later I'll put them all into one.
Great work! I really like the optimism in Story. It feels like we're getting ready to embark on a great adventure! Something about the feel makes me think we're gonna see some temples or do some spelunking through the forest. Also really like the ending theme.
Thanks, I can definitely see the temples in this. I had fun writing these.
I think you can hear that in the result! :)
After all the really somber soundtracks I've heard so far this is really playful. Nice take on the picture theme. Very magical atmosphere. The ending theme is beautiful!
Thank you! This was fun to make.
