Description
I visualized an underwater RPG whose protagonist has just endured the loss of their mother and must find a way to survive underwater by traveling from one pocket of air to another. At first, they don’t know how they can go on without their mom, but eventually they find strength in their journey.
I chose to channel feelings from my current living situation - halfway across the world, feeling isolated; almost like I'm drowning. Suspended in strangeness and unknowing.
My piece title, “Ten Years From This Second,” uses a voice over from the film The Last Woman On Earth in which the main character must choose who to be with at the end of the world. A late professor of mine, Dale Sherrard, instilled in me a love of found objects and I wanted to dedicate part of my return to sound shaping to him in some way.
I thought of "Subaqueous Spotlight" as an equivalent to Mario's underwater theme. It's bubbly and fun and erodes into a daydream.
And "Hearbeat of a Planet" is meant to be a lifeline of sorts to the future, a belief in better things to come.
I used Reaper as my DAW.
Message from the artist
This is my first composition jam experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Please take a listen and let me know what you think.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The image spoke to me because I feel alone, like I've lost a part of myself and like I don't belong in my environment. I tried to channel those feelings in my tracks.
