Description
Its a OST for a cancelled PG-13 JRPG. It consists of a main theme, which will be played in menu, random battle encounter theme, shop theme and ending music. Main theme is, probably, a main menu music - it introduces 'the girl' leitmotif, which will be mutated in the battle theme and ending theme. I wanted to write something funky so decided to make a battle theme. Battle theme serves as a soundtrack for random encounters typical of JRPG genre. The vendor theme is music playing when player is safe and shopping at a local underwater blacksmiths'. The ending theme is music playing after defeating the final boss - Fish King - who, in the last moments of his life, is revealed to be a main characters' father, so this theme is more dramatic and sad.

How does it fit the theme?
Sounds of this OST are mostly synths - some spacey and dimmed to represent the depths and darkness of the ocean, some are bright and sharp to represent the underwater civilization - the "aquatopia" - a world at the bottom of the ocean, where fish, seaweed and other strange creatures reside. The main character - a girl in the picture - has to save aquatopia from a tyrannical Fish King. Main theme has a leitmotif which can be found in other tracks. It represents the girl, and can be wonderous and joyful or melancholic, depending on the track.
