Long nights those times, but that's the opportunity to dream of a music that evokes sprituality, freedom, and mystism. A pleasure to participate to this contest from Indie game music contest. First time for me to adapt to a game, where your music has to follow the gamer, whatever his/her decisions! :). I started my work by asking myself what instrument / sound could fit with Mae's story (the heroin). Mae is a young girl trying to master her astral projection. She is brave, seeks for adventure, and lives a mystical world. I decided to compose violin themes which are flying in the air (like her abilities), and which represent her youngness, her courage, her feminity, and also the difficulties she has to face as well. I added a couple of instruments from Asia here and there (gongs, pipa, Erhu..) and some instruments inspiring magic (harp, crotales, flute). Then my idea was to compose 3 different themes for the intro, the first platform, and the second one. It was as well to adapt some parameters to the environment (EQ change when inside / outside, some sounds triggered by events).... I also worked with Loops principles, and some variations that could be randomly selected to offer variations. Finally, I took also the decision to let the soundesigns appearing in the initial video game, assuming they were important for the game designer. What do you think about it?
