Description
Genre : Piano and Orchestral music
Runtime : 4 tracks ( 0'26, 1'17, 1'32, 1'33) for a total runtime of 4'48
Daw and software : Ableton Live as a DAW, IK Philarmonik 2 as an Orchestral VST, and Pianoteq 8 as a piano VST
Inspirations : The piano works of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, Hollow Knight and Ori OST, and the music of Nobuo Uematsu (mostly... :D )
Process : Banging head against the wall until some melody comes up, harmonize it for the piano and see where it goes !
Chosen theme : Using both the drawing and the sentence given, I imagined a little "under the sea" metroidvania game, with heavy focus and plateforming and puzzles.
Ulma is a young girl from a small and peacefull village on the coast. Years ago, she'd lost her father to the sea, leaving her to grow alone and becoming mistrustful of the ocean.
One night, as she stare in the depths of the water, she's grabbed and pulled under the surface by some mysterious force, and begin her descent towards the Deep Realm. (Corresponding track : Descent)
With mixed feelings of excitement and anxiety, she meets a nameless Spirit, which will become her guide (and later on, her friend) in this new world. As she explore and discovers the wonders of the deep, she becomes more and more confortable in the sea. (Corresponding track : Wonders of the Deep)
Through her journey, she'll eventually go deeper and deeper in the unkown, and accidently awake a terrible force in the abyss, forcing her to use all of determination in a deadly pursuit. (Corresponding track : Ancient Foe)
Once back in safety, she'd take a last tour of the Deep Realm to thank and say goodbye to all of her new friends of the sea. Swimming back up to the surface, she look one last time under, and swears she'll dive back for good, one day. (Corresponding track : Memories)
