The title of the original song(s)
Mainly inspired by the following songs: The Last of Us, The Path, The Choice and The Smugglers, from the soundtrack of The Last of Us.

Is this a cover, tribute, or medley?

Description
The Last of Us is one of these games that really touched me. From the overall immersive experience to the relation between Joel and Ellie who find in the other what they were missing, this game will forever be engraved in my memory. And the music tells the exact same story, with dissonant element entangled with beautiful and pure melodies, in a soundtrack that always drives you forward.

-------------------------

I tried to make a medley, inspired by the main melodies and the general atmosphere of the game, that would reflect this journey.

You can look at this track as three consecutive parts:

1. The strings and the guitar set the tone for what's to come: they are mainly here to slowly build the atmosphere the rest of the music will be based on. The dissonant element in the background warn you: the danger lurks around.

2. The tempo slows and the warm bass guitar reassures you: everything should be fine from now on

3. But then the tempo rises up again and the more rhythmic patterns start to kick in. The danger is still around, but you're moving forward: you're determined. A distant voices accompanies you in your path...

Hopefully I managed to transcribe my feelings for this game through this song.
I hope you enjoy it!

As for the technical part, this track was made using Logic Pro X and mainly on midi.
For my libraries, I used almost the entirety of Spitfire Labs Guitares and Strings, Albion One for the Orchestra instruments and Damage for the percussions. I unfortunately didn't have my guitar with me so I couldn't record the guitar melodies. I had to manage with my libraries to emulate the guitar sound as best as I could !

I also had the help of 2 friends. One that I recorded playing the guitar chords, and the other for the singing. The recordings were made with my crappy phone mic, and I know the next thing I invest in will be a proper microphone!

I had a lot of fun making this track and working on one of my dearest soundtrack. Each project teaches me a lot, and this one was by far the one I learned the most from. I can't wait for the next OstJam!
