OST Jam 7 Progress!

Day one of working on the jam done! This is my first time doing this so i want to document some of my progress as I go, maybe not sharing any previews but talking about what i worked on so I can look back and see how it changes as I go., I will include the working title and length of each song as they stand after the days work on em too.

Title - 0:41

Had this idea the SECOND I saw the theme, while I was on a walk I pulled out my phone and recorded a voice memo of the theme that im gonna try and use as some sort of main motif, its a version of one i have had bouncing around in my head and have tried to do something with but the right thing never stuck, and now i think i have something that will really work, so far ive taken a nice amount of inspiration the celeste menu theme but i've also been told it sounds very reminiscent of undertale, which is far from a bad thing to sound like in my opinion.

Area theme - 1:41

My running joke is that this song is called "Aria Language Arts" because it sounds just a little bit like aria math by C418, but not really lol, this one has been super fun for experimenting with some free sound libraries i got and creating some really interesting chime sounds, i was inspired a bit a mix of instruments for one of the main instruments in this right now, mainly the handpan drum but a bit of inspiration from the sound of the Gamelan as well! Definitely the most rhythmically exciting song i've made so far, so i'm kind of struggling to decide how to fit it into the rest of the soundtrack vibes wise. 

Penultimate Area Theme - 2:41

Originally this was a water level theme and ive decided against it, i currently see this as the uneasy theme that plays in the area leading up to a more unnerving final climax and have employed a lot of my more signature minimalism to it to sell this, with scattered melodies and a more repetative and abstract chord progression, with some really eerie harmonies to push the song forwards closer and closer to the final fight. My personal favourite of what I've written so far!
