In some moments it is melancholic, in some moments it is creepy. Sometimes...
...sometimes...

Description
Based on both the picture and text theme, I came up with an idea for a game where the player travels into the depths of the protagonist's mind, represented by the five layers of the ocean. I wasn't able to complete a track for every level, so what you'll hear here is a title screen theme, themes for level 1/5 and 4/5, and a theme for the protagonist, who I decided to name Ushio ("tide" in Japanese).
As for composing each track, I went for a more experimental hybrid style, as I felt it suited my game idea. I also have two leitmotifs that appear throughout the soundtrack. The first leitmotif (first heard on the piano in track 1) represents Ushio's mother; this idea was based on the artwork and I was originally going to compose a full "Mother" theme but ran out of time. The second leitmotif is for Ushio herself (first appears in track 2 and then in track 4). On the technical side, I used Ableton and mostly free plugins to compose each track.
