AP - Story Of Seasons (Soundtrack Selection)

These tracks are intended to be used in a platformer or adventure game.

How does it fit the theme?
To fit the jam's theme (Story Of Seasons), each track is representative of an individual season - for example, 'Autumn' uses ambient nature sounds and warm keyboard + Rhodes melodies to create an image of a typical Autumn scene. 'Winter', on the other hand, is more of an instrumental bed or tone-setter than a full-on song, and uses dark chords and metallic instrumentation to represent a freezing, gloomy winter environment.

Song descriptions + info:

Track 1 - Autumn (Genre: Drum 'n Bass)
This is the main song for the project - it starts off with a mellow looping Rhodes line, before slowly introducing a mix of lighter key instruments and a low bassline. The calm intro then gives way to an upbeat late-90's drum & bass break that kicks the track into gear. In terms of being used in a game soundtrack, this song is intended to be used for an 'introductory level', or an open-world segment where the player is free to explore at their leisure. The jazz-inspired melodies and high-tempo drum work should bring a sense of excitement and interest to the player before they embark on a new journey.

Track 2 - Winter (Genre: Ambient)
As mentioned above, this is more of an ambient instrumental bed or tone-setter that allows additional melodies or instrumentation to be placed on top. This track has an enveloping ambience that slowly builds a dark scene around the listener - although it is kept simple and minimal, the chords create a strong sense of emotion. In terms of being used in a game soundtrack, this song is intended to be used in a 'winter level', albeit one where something is clearly off... rather than being a wintery celebration, the level would cause a sense of unease for the player, while dropping subtle hints that some sort of entity awaits them further on in the game.
