Description
mellifluous EP: The entire EP is designed to be played connected together, but it's fine listened to separately although the transitions between each song might be a slight bit janky in the individual releases.
bitdance: Based on Zenless Zone Zero's hub world but with a more chiptune/electronic aesthetic. I see bitdance being a sort of opening song or, just like ZZZ, a hub world type of song.
rain synthesis: Based of Diverse System's works. series of songs that are a compilation geared towards lofi and house songs, a personal project I did for one of my finals for college and a prototype horror game a friend of mine made revolving around a subway (hence the subway noises I recorded a couple of days before creating the song). rain synthesis is supposed to be a sort of traveling song; a song that strikes a balance between high and low energy. I wanted to juxtapose the way the softer real elements like the piano and the harder electronic elements like the chiptune sequence and drums for the difference in energy.
evanescent: Based on the same Diverse System works. series as well as a song by the artist Glacier called Birch View. I was trying to make a song similar to rain synthesis but with the bamboo textures that Birch View used, but I deviated a bit and made something that I would describe as an exploration/combat scenario song. The track gradually increases in energy and the way the piano resolves at the end of the highest energy part also gives a mysterious energy. The ending of evanescent is supposed to be the final conclusion to whatever mystery is discovered.
Each song was started initially by laying down the bass and drums to build a foundation and then each of the other melodic elements followed, except for rain synthesis which started out with the ambient layers.
I used FL Studio to make all the music and a combination of Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro to make the cover/video.
Message from the artist
please roast to medium rare, I normally make remixes so this is my first time both composing original songs and composing a soundtrack <3
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
With rain synthesis and evanescent, both songs have a lot of open space, which allows the listener to fill in the space with their own ideas. With bitdance, it serves as an introductory song to acquaint yourself with the world that you enter.
