Where water meets air

These visions arise

This weekend is the 47th round of the Ludum Dare game jam!  As usual, I'm warming up my soundtrack chops by trying to sketch out a bunch of separate OST-like tracks for OHC.

This time around I am trying something a little different and attempting to go with the lo-fi/chillhop vibe.

Here's the tracklist:

0:00 - together in the fog [Title Theme]

1:57 - will the ghosts come out to play? [Level Theme]

3:18 - it's too hot for shopping [Town Theme]

5:24 - are we there yet? [Credits Theme]

johnfn (hey)

johnfn (hey)

this is a diss track that you cant defend (hey)

johnfn (hey)

johnfn (hey)

youre completely, totally incompetent (hey)

 

im tired of your music, everything you writes the same

with your jingly piano and the VSTs so lame

man, get some different soundfonts, kontakts got no thrill

just like a certain guy whos in denial bout his skill

you wanna be the beatles but you need yourself a band

you wanna be a singer but your voice is fucking bland

you wanna be a writer but youre lacking all the passion and

you wanna be john lennon but you can only imagine it

 

you gotta write fast, dont wanna miss your early bedtime

your diss to me will never work because of all the dead rhymes

can you help me solve a mystery thats been sitting in my head? why

is it that you autotune and STILL cant make the deadline

you call yourself a programmer, that joke runs fuckin deep

youre so code-illiterate that you cant even sort a heap

youll inevitably fall but you still try to hit the top

to compensate your lost packageguess thats why they call it drop box

 

johnfn (hey)

johnfn (hey)

your idiocy i cant comprehend (hey)

johnfn (hey)

johnfn (hey)

the best part of all your songs is the end (hey)

 

please

gimme just a little variety imma try to be

as fair as i can bout your notoriety but i dont even

think i know a single thing about the society

that you think youre in

you make me wanna end my sobriety with the

garbage that youre making every week

and so i guess its up to me to let you know how much you reek

nobody wants another indie song

your vocals sound like diddy kong

id make a better melody by letting out a shriek

 

johnfn (hey)

johnfn (hey)

ill be calling out your faults until the end (hey)

johnfn (hey)

johnfn (hey)

and i definitely mean to condescend (hey)

 

 

 

 

these lonely days

desperate to get away

these lonely days alone

these joyless days

dismal in every way

these joyless days alone

and when you light up my days

it's clear

and when you light up the fog

so near

it's like you lift up the weight on my heart

and the feeling inside subsides

and when you light up my nights

it's clear

and when you turn up the lights

so near

it's like you lift up the weight on my heart

and the feeling inside subsides

80's styled synth music, with a lot of atmosphere to match the dark mood. Had a bit of fun with this one.

Are there other souls here, in the middle of nowhere? Will solitude be my final destination? With the future blurred by the fog, will I remain myself after this ordain?

Here's what I could come up with in the last 15 minutes
