Really nice compositions! I love the water bubbles in "The Deep in Little Fish". In "The Sea Calls" the singing is amazing. Did you sing that yourself?! If so you are extremely talented really great work this has to be one of my favorite submissions. Amazing Job!

Description
"Little Fish" is a first person interactive fiction game, told through the eyes of our protagonist, "Little Fish" a young girl who explores the stages of grief following the loss of her mother. On a journey of imagination and magic at her home by the ocean shore, Little Fish must make her way home after getting lost in a terrible storm.
The title theme 'A Mothers Lament' is a rendition of The Sea Calls and evokes a sense of nostalgia experienced by the games characters.
'Stepping Stones' represents the innocence of childhood, as Little Fish's imagination takes over and leads her to the sea. This song represents denial, as Little Fish chooses to get lost in her mind instead of facing the loss of her mother, leading her further from the path.
The Deep, is associated with the anger of grief, a whirling storm that envelops her, as she thrashes to get out, until she is completely lost.
As Little Fish seems to lose all hope, through the darkness, her mother appears to help guide her through the storm. The Sea Calls, is a lullaby sung by her mother to help her work through her sadness. Though afraid, in this magical scene, in the eye of the storm, she realises her mother will always be with her in her heart.
And finally, 'Little Fish' the ending theme, represents acceptance and the joy of childhood.
The soundtrack was composed on Musescore and produced in Abelton.
