OVERVIEW
CREATIVE CHALLENGE
Expression was key when musically translating the AI-provided scene:
"…A bioluminescent forest at dusk, filled with mythical creatures and leading to a shimmering, mystical portal."
The music needed to reflect the scene’s magic while building anticipation for the adventure ahead, ascending from an ethereal ambiance to a grabbing, dynamic atmosphere.
PROCESS
I’m a music maker who didn’t follow the traditional conservatory path.
So naturally, my approach blends diverse instruments and textures rather than aiming for pure orchestral authenticity.
Blending traditional and non-traditional elements gives a unique contrast that allowed me to create a score that's both primal and magical, setting a deep emotional tone that connects with the scene in a more personal way.
RESULT
The outcome was a track that resonated strongly. During a YouTube livestream composing this piece, viewers confirmed that the music matched the scene, even sparking mental images of it playing during a game’s intro sequence.
This personal project was a fun experiment to take the pressure off coming up with ideas when creating music from scratch and focus more on transforming concepts into impactful, narrative-driven scores that engage players.
