Description
Genre of SoundTrack : A Thriller Adventure game
SonicPi was used to code the sound recursively (Both the DAW and how I compose the sound). In the following blogspot, the source code and the stages can be seen :

The name Sendoff was to represent a game where the protagonist is running away but tells people that they were sent off. Problem with this tale is that the entities that made them runaway are still chasing them.
Lurking in the shadows
no matter the path that you chose
don't know where you belong
but the entitles hunting don't care about right or wrong
Funny thing is, you have not seen what is chasing
and that is what makes the heart keep pacing
the body feels it has to still be escaping
What is it that you have taken
for these beings to be lurking in the shadows

Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
When coding, I realise it sounds creepy as if something is watching you. While being watched, it has faint moments of silence but the creepiness builds up. Recursion is a computer science technique where a function calls upon itself. I relate this to the theme that the sounds from the forest, the journey or cause from the protagonist running away.
Almost as if they are running , it calls for more entities to be hunting and chasing. With every additional runaway and not solving it, it calls upon more and more. This is where the element of code , image and theme come together. WHat if you lied to people around to the reason of the journey and that very lie is causing those around you to not being able to help
