Description
In flight - A pumping beat to run away to with moments where the steadiness falls away, representing just how lost you are.


In the Cold - Rain trickles around you and you are left with nothing but your own thoughts and memories of mistakes made.


When It Gets Too Much - A representation of mental wear. Shrill tones likes daggers in your brain drive you away from all you've ever known.

All tracks made using LSDJ with a little audacity at the end.

Message from the artist:
Please download for better sound quality, OBS did something a little funny to the video, it's mainly there as the proof I actually did it.

Theme:

Runaway
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
See description for individual track descriptions, but each track represents a mood, feeling, or mental state of a protagonist fleeing their home, or even their urban world to try and escape the hostilities in their life.

Love the 8 bit dark march style on the first song, kinda like the empire theme from star wars. Real spooky dissonances going on through the whole thing. Sets an interesting ominous tone that I don't often see for 8 bit styles. Nice submission!

I think this music is more suitable for 8-bit games and escape theme than visual theme. I liked it.

In flight - Awesome. Love that we hit the ground running. I think that's always a great feeling in a game. You start it up and -GO-. I'm getting an almost militaristic feel from this (I think maybe from the drums and the rhythm). Like we're marching. Love it!

In the cold - This one is good, but slightly overshadowed by the other two. But I reckon that was probably the intent.

When it gets too much - I really like those super fast arps and the melody line in this one. The melody indeed reflects a feeling of discontent very well. There's a lot of tension there. It sounds like we're heading for a mental breakdown.

My favourite is probably in flight. I love the energy in that one. The forward momentum is just too good to pass up!

Great work man!

Love how you used LSDJ for this! Love these tracks, especially the unique chord choices in the first track.
