Description
The genre I typically compose in is somewhere along the lines of ambient mixed with some classical components. For this soundtrack I was using elements from those genres towards a minimalist approach to the compositions, similar to what you might hear from Philip Glass.

I imagined this game as a very narrative-driven project with a strong artistic identity, that focused on the child in pink and their relationship to the bubble character as they explore the world. The soundtrack was written as a means to embellish each part of the adventure, from the initial steps to the last moments before leaving the world. This was the thought process I had in mind when writing for this theme.

I focused primarily on smaller melodies that could be built up over time to give the tracks a bit of movement. I would then layer the tracks with different instruments or with additional notes that fleshed out the different ideas. For the software, I used MuseScore to write out all of my compositions and used Garageband to record and mix the tracks themselves.

How does it fit the theme?
As mentioned above, I interpreted the artwork as being the cover of a game that focuses on exploring the character's world. This exploration of the world is where I drew inspiration for the 'Theme' of my soundtrack. It's intended to give an uplifting feeling about going on an adventure that's more exploratory than it is dangerous. For the track 'Ambience', I wanted to give some background music to the game's world while the characters are exploring. This was the result of trying to write a piece of music that might be played for an (presumably) underwater world.

The last two tracks were written with for the endgame. 'One Day, Every Bubble Pops' was written to represent the very meaningful relationship that the two characters have, even though bubbles do not last forever. As for 'Theme (Reprise)' I wanted to write a track that represents the child in pink reliving their memories of the world and the adventure shared with the bubble character. They are away from it, but still thinking fondly of it.
