Description
1. Process
>The soundtrack was composed from 21/07 to 26/07 using MPC Beats DAW. All songs were composed with MIDI Input using the Alesis Qmini keyboard. All mixing was accomplished using MPC Beats too.
2. Theme Interpretation
>The lone black figure is on top of an enormous hourglass surrounded by countless floating clocks. It is trapped and the sound of clocks resonate. I believe the theme is boredom. And what more boring than a summer for a lonely student?
3. Soundtrack
>The soundtrack is inspired by music used in Nintendo titles like "New Super Mario Bros" and "WarioWare: Move it!".
>There is focus on two different aspects of summer:
A relaxing part that could be used in single player puzzles. It includes two pieces:
i. "Bored in the Menu": Waltz, menu theme.
ii. "Clocks like Bubbles": Ambient, puzzle solving theme.
>An energetic part meant to be used in multiplayer minigames. It includes four pieces:
i. "Endless Possibilities", I do not know the genre, but it sounds summer-like. It signifies the reunion of a friend group during summer vacation.
ii. "Couch Party Competition", the multiplayer lobby theme.
iii. "Think Together!", slow percussion, meant for a preparation phase of a minigame or puzzle game.
iv. "Race Together!", fast pace meant for a chaotic obstacle course minigame.
Message from the artist:
The theme I chose is the picture. I interprate it as a symbolism of boredom during the summer for an initially lonely student.
At the beginning, the soundtrack focuses on the slow paces and relaxation of summer. But here's the twist; once the student reunites with his friends his boredom vanishes. The soundtrack then becomes more energetic and goofy.
I hope you enjoy it!
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The orchestration fits the artstyle and the melodies fit the artistic interpretation.
