Description
This is scored for a small two piece orchestra with additional guest instruments on each track.
Made with musescore 4, not produced but mixed and "tweaked" to get a (hopefully) convincing orchestral sound.
Track 1 - Main Menu (looping)
Plays in the main menu and tries to set an adventurous and mysterious tone while exposing the main theme. Could be re-arranged for some in-game scenes too.
Track 2 - Midnight waves (looping)
You navigate your ship in a calm sea, guided by the stars.
Track 3 - Underwater world (looping)
You dive and explore an underwater ruin.
Track 4 - Some wishes can't come true (one-shot)
A cinematic one-shot scene (maybe an ending). You experience some kind of loss, and you scream in frustration at the shooting stars, knowing your wish to gain back what was lost will never come true. In the end, you come to terms with your grief and move on in your journey.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
I tried to favor woodwinds for the night feel of the image, My main theme briefly insists on the natural 6th of the Dorian mode to capture the feeling of wishing
I used high piano and harp in the menu as an abstraction for stars
For the ship on the sea I use 3/4 meter with strong downbeats , like it's sailing on waves
