Description
This is the soundtrack of a plateformer game : the concept is, a young girl, Emma, just moved from France to Yukon. She know nothing about snow, the pine forest, the new town she's in. She try to understand all thoses change with her childish eyes, and it translate by a daydream : the journey of a small artic fox in a snowy forest, fighting dark thought and everything that has ever scared Emma.
The first track, "By The Windows", is the title screen and the beginning of the dream : she imagine the small fox running in the snowy forest.
I tried to convey the mood of the little girl, and took inspiration of the OST of the game "Child of Light".
The second track "Owl Encounter" is the first level soundtrack : it start as a scary pine forest, dark and dangerous, until she encounter a funny big owl who will become her guardian.
I tried to convey the feeling of being alone, and using leitmotiv make it suddenly funny and reassuring. I took inspiration from the many goofy characters of the Zelda licence.
The last track "Monster Machine" is the first boss theme : Emma, while exploring her new home, found a nearby quarry. She saw one of the monstruous quarry truck, and it scared her enough for it to become her nemesis in her dreams.
The bossfight oppose the small fox and the giant machine, inhabited by demonic forces that make it alive.
I tried to convey the feeling of epicness and battle, and a little bit of doubt and fear, with a really "mechanical" feeling track , and used the leitmotiv from "By the windows" to make it epic.
Thanks for your attention ! See you to the next Jam !

Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I thought a cute little game about the inner world of a child who discover a new "world" by moving to a new country would be quite fun and pleasing.
It fit the theme in two ways : first, it's a journey in the inner world of Emma, and it's also her interpretation of the World around her.
It gave me the opportunity to explore the world of childhood, feelings, and fears.
