Description
This submission is a mix of ambient electronic music with a bit of cinematic piano and strings, composed with live synth playing as well as MIDI in Logic pro.
This soundtrack would be for a narrative focussed adventure game. It would take place in a world where humans live in floating villages held above the clouds by massive hot air balloons. There are myths about dragons living somewhere below the clouds, but most people don't believe them, and it is considered very dangerous to go beneath the cloud cover, due to massive storms that rage on beneath them. The player's character in the game is one of the few that still believes dragons exist, known as stormchasers, and she searches for them, with a small group of friends.
The track Cloudflow serves as general ambience for floating above the clouds with an endless sky on all sides. It also hits at a few notes of the dragon's theme from the third track.
The track Stormchasers serves as a theme for (you guessed it) the stormchasers, and is more fast paced. It becomes more tense in the second half to represent them breaking through the cloud cover and gliding through the dangerous storm.
The track Dragonsighting aligns with the moment when the stormchasers break through to the eye of the storm and see a live dragon for the first time in any of their lifetimes, serving as a conclusion to this part of the story.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
The game is set in a floating village above the clouds, always surrounded by blue skies. The main character in the story is trying to find a living dragon, creatures that have fallen into myth.
