OST Composing Jam 2024

The first piece entitled Palindrome is meant to be the opening of an adventure-type game. The music utilizes a mix of electronic synths and orchestral instruments. This piece should exemplify the idea of a palindrome the most with the melodies being able to be played forward and backward and the form of the piece being semi-circular. Since the piece is the opening of the game, there is not a sense of finality but a sense that the adventure keeps continuing on.

The second piece entitled Walking Through Hills follows our main character through a wide greenery as they enter into the world that the game begins in. In my head, the character is a sort of young hero, around 10-13 years old, and as they explore the hills around them they uncover different things but still with that childish wonder. The form for this piece is less circular but the melodies are still developed from an original palindrome idea. 

The last piece entitled Fire is an action packed 30-seconds. The greenery that our main character was walking through is now set on fire and our hero needs to put out the fires. The main musical elements in here are lots of flurries which are meant to represent the wildness of the flames.
