Description
Ambient and orchestral track, made in FL Studio
Message from the artist
I started 3 days before the deadline so I lowkey just spent most of that time re-learning my DAW :P
In any case, I learned a lot during this jam and had a lot of fun as well. I hope you enjoy my music!
Theme
Inside my world
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
Pela is the name of the girl, after Pelagiidae, a family of jellyfish.
The visual and sentence theme together both gave me the impression that the girl is in a dream with her deceased mother, and they are both enjoying each other’s company for the last time through the girl’s memories. I aimed to create a dreamlike soundscape to represent this experience.
I wanted to express the hope, optimism, and gratitude that the girl would feel towards her mother in these moments. I imagine that the mother was a marine biologist, and had named her daughter after her favorite jellyfish. The girl was raised in an environment where she could explore her natural curiosity towards her mother’s profession, and it became a shared world.
In this song, I interpret the phrase “Inside my world” to mean from the perspective of the mother and daughter interchangeably. From the mother’s perspective, she is sharing her world with her daughter by having nurtured her curiosity and inspiring her. From the daughter’s perspective, everything she is experiencing: the fish, bubbles, and sadly her mother as well, exists only inside her head, and will all disappear when she inevitably wakes up.
