Such delicate and fragile writing! Absolutely beautiful in how it uses subtlety and restraint to produce something that's just hauntingly beautiful throughout. I very much enjoyed the vocal gestures in "Mère, je t'aime". You do so very much with so very little here-- very impressive.
I very much enjoyed the planarian figures in "L'appel de la Mer" up occasionally-- feels like a little nod to another "La Mer", but without being a pastiche, just a subtle and absolutely beautiful little reference-- it made me smile!
I would suggest that incorporating non-musical elements (like birdsong or wave sounds) in game music can ultimately be more trouble than its worth-- obviously if you are working very closely with the audio team I'm sure there's a way to execute it, but that's effort I feel better spent on expanding your wonderful writing and sonic palettes.
The length of the tracks too left me aching for more! You've written some stunningly beautiful textures in every single track and I would absolutely love to hear them extended and developed even more. Far from overstaying its welcome, this music goes too soon, I think. That's a wonderful position to be in-- you've written material that is so beautiful that your listeners are going to be left wishing for more.
Stunning and beautiful work here, executed with utmost grace and skill.
Description
Compositions made using Logic Pro X
To me, the artwork depicts a young girl accompanied by a silhouette of her mother under the sea. In French, "Mère" (Mother) and "Mer" (Sea) are pronounced the same way, creating a play on words in the music titles blending the meanings of Mother and Sea.
Accompanying Text:
1. « The sea beckons. A voice traverses the horizon and a gentle current immerses your heart. The music box starts playing, that melody full of nostalgia that you've known since forever. »
2. « Drawn in by memories, you dive into the ocean of light. A soft warmth envelops you, embracing arms guiding you, full of love and tenderness. It is she who cradles you. »
3. « Mother, I love you, how to put it into words? My feelings for you are as a river ever flowing. These clear waters in which I bathe, here we will live. »

Theme
How does it fit the theme?
My first source of inspiration for this theme comes from the artwork. I wanted to combine the meanings of ''Mère'' (Mother) and ''Mer'' (Sea) that are phonetically the same in French, and that are present in the artwork. I secondly pulled inspiration from the theme "Inside my world" through my music. I did my best trying to transport the listener into the world in the picture through the combination of ambient sounds and the emotions depicted in the artwork.
