Hey guys. This is my entry for a challenge that was held in The Cue Tube Discord server, called the "Tell The Story" Challenge #14. The goal was to create a piece of music inspired by the picture (the one you see on screen). The artwork is by artist Anthony Avon, thanks to him for providing this beautiful artwork to be used for the challenge. Also thanks to @TheCueTube for organizing this challenge!
When I saw the image, I thought 2 things, 1) Cold, 2) Desolate. And that is exactly what I aimed to capture in my track. I wanted it to be a chilling and lonely experience, almost existential. Because I don't see any signs of life in the artwork. Just ice, mountains, and in this huge landscape. No real characters or story, just imagine you're playing a game and you come across this map which is 100% empty and devoid of life. All you can do is try to find a way out of it and move on.
I'll admit I thought I'd be able to make something quick for this round but writer's block, technical difficulties, and general burnout got the best of me for a couple weeks. I'm fairly happy with the arrangement, but not really with the mix, either way here's what I could do with all I mentioned haha. I think even though there are lots of layers, the backbone of it is the guitars. They introduce the chord progression and main theme of the track, and develop it further. Other than those, I used a number of synths and sample libraries, mainly strings, but also celesta, and some "earthquake" low percussion. Last but definitely not least, I did some sound design. The "wind" sounds I DIY'd with my voice and I think they turned out really well! You know what they say, with enough reverb, anything can sound amazing :)
