Description
For this Jam the goal was to make each of the characters a theme each. Each character is represented by their own instrument, the character on the left by the flute, the middle character by the guitar, and the one on the right by the viola.
"The Dreamer" is the middle characters theme, I feel that they are quite laidback and generally happy, but their head is in the clouds, and they kind of stuck in a fantasy, either that or there's no thoughts at all, no in between.
"Forest Stroll" is the theme of the character on the right, they seem like a quite peaceful and nature loving person, only fitting to make a Bossa Nova kind of thing
"Soar Ever Higher" is the theme of the remaining character, for this one i wanted to make it sound like flying in the sky or a high speed chase, as i feel that this character is quite the adventurer, and while they don't seem like it, a troublemaker, it did get quite intense though, if I had time i would try to use the melody for something a little calmer, and make that the theme, and this one as something else related to this character.
I also managed to sneak in a 4th song, which functions as a sort of development to the character on the right, although I actually made that one first, then took the melody and made the other one.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I made a song for each character in the picture theme, and used the instrument that they are holding as a guide on what to represent each character as, and used more "natural" instruments like acoustic guitar or the Cajon, as I think that that fits what I visually saw

I love the contrast you achieved by putting on the effort of having modern music represent the spirits of those medieval figures! It's really something to stare at the characters hearing your music... and if one thinks about it, these characters could actually be our contemporaries just playing around with medieval costumes and instruments. Having this played live is also really nice. Congrats and good luck for the next steps ;)
Really cohesive and fun soundtrack! Makes me want to hear more music from this hypothetical game. I love how you made character themes based off of the picture theme, I think they fit really well!
My favorite track here is definitely "The Dreamer", it's really comfy sounding but also interesting to listen to. Kind of gives me an Animal Crossing vibe with the guitar? But a lot more dynamic and energetic than most Animal Crossing music.
Thank you for the kind words! Tried to pretend that the picture was the reference I would have gotten from a developer, it makes for good practice.
Love that you were playing some of the parts yourself~ Gives more control over the tone used, and fits really well between all four songs.
Thank you, downside is that it could take longer, but it is certainly rewarding, and good practice too!
It's super cool that you played the guitar and bass for your tracks! My favorite is "Forest Stroll," since I especially love Bossa Nova. I just wish it could be longer!
Thank you! That would definitely be on the to do list in the future if i revisit this project, along with the other songs of course.
The Dreamer: This is a really pleasant track! It would work well with some vocals on top. Is this live guitar playing? The guitar and bass sound great.
Forest Stroll: this is super cutesy, loved it.
Soar Ever Higher: really exciting! Love the flute solo and the accompanying violin!
Song #4: I like this melody a lot, and the guitar accompaniment is nice and expressive. Fun chord choices too, especially the ending!
This is a job well done, and you should be super proud of yourself. Good work, and keep writing!
Thank you, yes I played the guitar and bass myself throughout all of the four tracks.
