Dawn's Light
Added 2022-05-26 17:05:38 +0000 UTC"A ray of light, the grey and muted colour that comes before the dawn, peeks through the woven branches and gaps in the canopy of the forest. The birds fly in a great wave across the sky, like a river of brown and black, silent and seemingly unending. The world is so still; the ground, moss-covered and soft, the forest stretching out to the horizon both far and near. The trees' branches interlock like lovers' arms, protecting them from the world far below."
Hey folks,
Anyone a fan of the games Hades? I loved it, and apparently so did Bard tier supporter Lirin who asked for a track inspired by the track 'On The Coast' track from soundtrack. Whilst that track uses Greek style instruments, I wasn't satisfied with my own collection of sample libraries in that style, so I switched to some more Central / South American style flutes and guitars above a bed of soft strings, woodwinds, and shimmering percussion.
Alternate Versions
Bard Tier supporters have three alternate versions to choose from:
- Mystical Percussion: Just the percussion, makes for a more mythical style track, perfect for an old temple.
- Strings and Woodwinds: No percussion to be found here, making for a more 'traditional' fantasy sound.
- Ambient: Melody instruments and percussion removed, and some extra reverb added to the remaining sounds, making for a long, slow, ambient feel, very relaxing!
Anyone can preview those versions here, or I've attached the previews to this post.
Hope you enjoy listening and find plenty of uses for this track in your games!
Ian.
