Description
My main priority was to make music that closely matched the picture theme by kawaakar._. The game I envisioned was a casual 3D exploration game that takes place underwater - a mix of Spirited Away, Abzu, and Sable.
The story is about a normal girl who suddenly finds herself magically transported to a mystical underwater town. There, she finds that the water spirits who inhabit the town are about to hold their annual fish festival. Trying to find her way back home, she ends up running errands in preparation for the festival-goers, uncovering ancient secrets of the ocean along the way.
Some recurring sounds include: pitched metal percussion, synths, Asian music, minimalism, ambient, and water level music.
1. Dive - Main title theme
2. Seafloor - Loop for underwater town and day exploration
3. Abyss - Loop for caves and night exploration
4. Fish Festival - Loop for the annual fish festival where fish dance around wildly
5. Trinket - Theme when she discovers a magic pearl and later when she receives farewell gifts

How does it fit the theme?
I tried to make music that closely matched the picture theme, using sounds that evoke water and magic/spirituality.
