Description
For my composition, I imagined a Breath of the Wild style adventure game. I wanted to depict an emotional scene that would be towards the climax of the game where you finally reach the end of your journey. To achieve this vision, I strove to create a feeling that was a mix between melancholy and triumphant. This influenced not only the harmony, but the instrument choices, the articulations, and impacts/percussion.
I used Studio One for my DAW. For all of my software instruments, I used a mix of Kontakt libraries and Garritan Personal Orchestra 5. The string libraries that I had didn’t have any built in articulations, so I had to automate all of them. For the ambient samples, I recorded them all with my Zoom H4n.
Theme:
Runaway
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
When I first saw the picture and the prompt, I was immediately inspired to create a melancholy orchestral piece. The forest setting is what prompted me to record storm ambience into the project.
