Description
PLEASE IGNORE THE RETROGRADE BRIGADE STUFF. IT IS FROM A PREVIOUS GAME JAM, AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A NEW PROJECT. THIS OST IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO RETROGRADE BRIGADE.

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

tracklist:
the running [orchestral-synth-awesome_bass_guitar]
the rare pocket of relief [slow jazz]
the attempt at sleep [wannabe-lofi/sorta-orchestral/circus-music*]
the future they'll never meet [funk with buzzy bass that goes wub-wub]

*you'll see what I mean by circus music lol

I used FL Studio to compose these tracks, and kept them shorter as I figured they would be loop-able for use in a video game and because I only had so much time to work on this.

What the tracks represent:

"the running" throws the player straight into the action, as you've been sighted by the police. You are now running to preserve your freedom.

When "the rare pocket of relief" comes in, you find a tavern/inn. You walk in, and a live band starts to play a jazz performance. You relax for a moment.

The person behind the counter notices that you're new, and you strike up a conversation with them. They offer you a place to sleep. "the attempt at sleep" would play while the character is thinking out loud, failing to drown out their emotions.

The character contemplates "the future they'll never meet" with a surprisingly upbeat tune. But deep down they know that they got lucky this time.

Message from the artist:
The OST for a very short, imaginary episodic about a kid running from the authorities.

Theme:

Runaway

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
The different tracks on the OST are made to emulate the scenes and communicate the feelings of the character in those specific situations. For example: The character is running from the police, so a siren-like sound has been added to "the running".

Additionally each track is named for the potential "stages" of running away: the actual running away, the moment of calm when you've shaken their tail and the quiet refuge somewhere unfamiliar, the difficulty of trying to sleep when your emotions are holding you hostage, and the forced optimism when contemplating your future.
