Description
You could call it fantasy folk, this track is most appropriate as a character or environment theme. I used Logic Pro.

Theme:

Runaway
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I used ethereal sounding synthesisers to represent the alien-esque environment. A laid-back but slightly driving drum beat comes in to represent the character running through a mystical forest. The music isn't dark or ominous in any way, to convey that the character isn't necessarily in danger, just trying to get away.

Beautiful guitar opening and well developed theme. I like how you pick it up in different variations throughout. Very well finished track, paints a very immersive picture. Thanks for sharing!

The guitar in the beginning sounds great! It sets a nice calm, relaxing, reflective tone for the rest of the piece. 

Developer

Thankyou! I'm glad it was relaxing.

Hi! I like to feel and reflect the sadnees in music. You did not say anything about tragedy but i feel it? Idk.

Developer

I can hear what you mean, there is definitely a somber tone to it. Thanks for listening!

That blend of airy vocals and the guitar... beautiful. This really puts me in a nice environment.

Developer

Hi! Thanks for this track, that was very soothing and I really like how you built up the overall atmosphere. It felt much more contemplative than some 'dangerous runaway' as you state in your description. 

Even though, I really appreciated how the music made me travel in this alien-esque environment you mentionned!

Really dig the guitar intro. It's also quite nice once that really verby flute starts backing it up. Also enjoyed the vocals. They blend nicely into the verby space. Nice work!

Developer

Thankyou! That verby flute is one of my favourite synths.

This track really sets a defined calm mood and builds really well on its basis. Really good buildup and composition overall!
