song of the vulture

Done for the O2A2 Jam this year.


Old-timey jazz combined with Enya-esque hums came to my mind when I saw the images that my team were planning to use. I improvised the accompaniment on the piano in a matter of minutes, and then did the humming -- all five layers of it -- in a separate session.


The game is called little griefs, and it is about the short discussion of two vultures, psychopomps meant to guide souls into the afterlife, and for the purposes of the jam, it's a short VN, 1,000 words or less.

Wow very nice sound here and very beautiful the piano is amazing and you play this piece so well very nice indeed I love this piece and gave it my highest score this year

~X~

oddly amusing, sounds like a 80s/90s/ movie soundtrack

This is a lovely lilting tune that hints at a lot of different contexts. It feels nostalgic, a little melancholy, perhaps heroic(?), and a little creepy. I could also see it working in very specific romantic contexts between erudite lovers. The harmonic movement is also quite nice. Complex enough to keep things interesting, but never feels like it's working too hard.
Is there a chorus effect on the voice or is that 100% from the multiple takes?

Great work as always!

Troisnyx responds:

Thank you so much! <3

The voice was from the multiple takes (five in total), and two instances of reverb at small percentages -- one on the mixer track for the vocals, and one on a send track.
