Description
Genre: Hybrid orchestral
Tracklist:
01. Aridean Compass - Main theme 3:43 (written & arranged by: Aaron Englund)
Main theme has the full story outlined. Starting with violin runs representing the emerging threat of an ancient enemy. Shortly after cello and violas lay the core personality of the Main Character whom is a person with a troubled past, but with a noble heart. In first two segments the arrangement switches between the ancient enemy and the MC until breaking down to point of no return. The protagonist rises to defeat the enemy against all odds as the mystery of the compass unravels. Is the threat gone forever?
Message from the artist:
Definitely enjoyed this jam. I hope I get to write more tracks next time!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I took inspiration from the jam's theme "A journey to remember" by having an adventurous tone in the main theme.
