(all)Lure
A downloadable soundtrack
Written for Composing Jam #7 .
All Rights Reserved.
(some recordings used in the track were recorded couple days before the jam)
Task: Compose an original soundtrack of any style for an imaginary game!
Theme: inside my world
Length: 4 min 22 sec
cover: by me
Theme interpretation: you are lured by a Lovecraftian creature to its nest, as you sail though a misty forest river.
Software used: Recorder app, Audacity
Description of the game & what the soundtrack represents there:
Mystery horror game about some creatures luring you thorugh river in the forest area. It is cold. Heavy mist. The siren song is more of a distant echo, a feeling that hypnotizes, rather than anything audible or "song-like".
The sound is a background track that plays on loop with occasional intense sounds (scare jumps, violin) depending on the aria: for example, a window suddenly opens due to wind) or a creak in a bad floor.
It is supposed to give a general vibe of the gameplay, while you're early in your adventure and get introduced to the story thorugh the environment interactions and object information etc.
In my devlog I have a post about references with visual examples.
genre: ambient, drone
Recordings:
* random badly played violin sounds
* local construction with occasional seagulls
* metal lid that sounds like cymbal
* rain
With mostly all recordings I changed speed, pitch and tempo. For example, I took a sound of construction (just even noise) and slowed it down to make it 4 minutes as well as lowered the pitch. In the final track it is the continuous background sound that sounds like some kind of echo in a cave.
Due to changing the original recording format to fit DAW requirements, I also got a random noise track because the didn't converter didn't convert it properly. This sound is also added as a part of background.
The "cymbal" sound from metal lid after editing in Audacity turned into some kind of water noise in a cave.
Violin sounds lower than original. It imitates "scare jump" sounds and creaking steps on a ship board. There are multiple sound recordings that sometimes overlap. They are all differently played: loud long notes, bad mute notes, short melodies.
