The concept is inspired from artwork created by azfrankenstein https://twitter.com/azfrankenstein

Intended to function as a video game soundtrack - the main character is fleeing her homeland with a newborn child.  The first track would be the main theme and play during the opening sequence + menu.  The second serves as an "explore" track that would be background during gameplay where no conflict arises.  The third is intended to be during a "chase" or "danger" scene.  And the final track is the endgame - our protagonist has found her destination safely.  

I've tried to create an atmosphere of equal parts adventure and mystique.  The woods she travels through are mysterious and exotic, but I didn't want to lose that "earthy" feel.  To do this I've chosen to use a collection of sample libraries that might evoke a mix of both an ethereal sound and a comforting familiarity:

Spitfire Audio:  

Hans Zimmer Strings,  Stratus pianos,  Albion Solstice

East West Instruments:

Ra pan flute and Shakuhachi,  Symphonic Orchestra

Orchestral Tools:  Arkhis

I hope you enjoy this short EP!  Please let me know what you think - something you liked but also some ways I could improve the score.  Thank you!
