To be a hero

]]> http://www.sakari-infinity.net/2008/02/to_be_a_hero/feed/ 0 The Power to Change the World http://www.sakari-infinity.net/2007/12/the_power_to_change_the_world/ http://www.sakari-infinity.net/2007/12/the_power_to_change_the_world/#comments Thu, 27 Dec 2007 03:25:56 +0000 Arcanum http://www.sakari-infinity.net/?p=1407 Description / Purpose:
This was written for the End of the Year music competition, and it was meant to illustrate the journey Ark, from the game Terranigma, takes through the world as he resurrects it, and how his place in the world shapes him.

In the beginning, Ark is a sheltered adolescent in a peaceful town called Crysta that exists deep under a post-apocalyptic earth, and has no knowledge of the desolate world that exists outside. However, his curiosity gets the better of him, and he opens a box that eventually leads to, by the Elder of Crysta’s instruction, the beginning of a journey forth from Crysta to resurrect the outside world.

In the course of his journey, as he changes from an uncaring adolescent into the savior of the world, he begins to question the purpose of his actions. He learns that the destruction and resurrection of the world, and all the pain associated with it, will only continue at the opposing will of Dark and Light Gaia, two godlike entities, if he simply accomplishes the task he set out to do originally. This piece is meant to illustrate Ark’s gradual realization of this fact, and what he does when he finds that he can change that cycle.

In the end, Ark dies because of the fact that he himself is part of Dark Gaia, whom he destroys in the end, but he dreams one last dream beforehand, in which he sees the beauty of the world he resurrected.

Each part is meant to represent a stage of that change, and the parts are as follows:

Part 1: Ark Opens his Eyes (0:00 – 1:01)

Part 2: The Desolate World Before Him (Theme of Change)(1:02 – 1:30)

Part 3: Life’s Resurrection: Optimism (1:31 – 1:57)

Part 4: Loss of Innocence/The Return of Mankind (Theme of Change Reiterated)(1:58 – 2:17)

Part 5: Understanding (2:18 – 2:58)

Part 6: Outside the Loop of Fate (2:59 – 3:26)

Part 7: Breaking the Loop (One Last Change)(3:27 – 3:53)

Finale: Sleep: Dream of the New World (3:54 – 4:34)

Instruments Used:
Brass sections (Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn), String sections (full), with Pizzicato Violins part of the time, Solo Cello, Female Choir, Harp, Vibraphone, Clarinet, Flute, Percussion. Pretty much almost a full orchestra.

Inspiration:
Terranigma, Miyoko Kobayashi and Masanori Hikichi, and a deadline of 4 days. :)

Ceremony

This piece would probably be best used for some sort of a battle. It is a wild piece, with some big ups and downs, and it transitions through these very quickly. It loops midway through, and the end loops to the beginning.

Instruments Used:
Various orchestral brass, woodwind, string, and percussion instruments.

Inspiration:
I was originally influenced by various music for battles, in games and movies, but it kind of took off on its own after a while.

The first of many works which I will be improving, starting today. May or may not be part of an album… :P

The Blue Devil

In many cases it’s a tragedy. Their home town is destroyed, their father figure is killed off, or for whatever reason the protagonist’s innocence is lost. So they leave town, demand vengeance, and the story picks up from there.

This music is for that scene when tragedy has just struck. It’s also available in RPG Starter Pack #1 for game developers who are looking for affordable, royalty free RPG music.

Hero’s Awakening

The shamisen has some interesting effects on it. This would fit well for a town or a hero’s theme. I’m not too sure I like this style, so this may be the last of it for a while.

Hopping Again

It’s one of my favorite instruments, the shamisen, with a simple background harmony, along with some hip-hop-ish percussion. It’s short, sweet, and hopefully one of many!

Also still useful for a happy title theme.
