Aivi Tran | Thena (feat. Anthony Morgan & Stéphanie Desbourdes)

One of my submissions to Project VGM, a collaborative soundtrack for an imaginary RPG. Thena is the hometown of the game:

"A small, peaceful town of the Wesdrow nation. Upon reaching adulthood, citizens are required to enlist in Wesdrow's reserve militia. While the town has maintained this loyalty to Wesdrow over the years without much protest, the town itself sits far from the dangers of large-scale war. It is surrounded on one side by a forest and opens into the Faris Plains on the other."

I had the privilege of collaborating with Anthony Morgan and Stéphanie Desbourdes (aka Dentelle), two wonderful composers from France who performed live guitar and bass on the piece. Hopefully the three of us will upload live video collabs in the future :)

The beginning...it sounded a lot like Song of Storms.

@rainbowsept1995 I can see some small unintentional similarities, but I can point out a lot more reasons why they're different! Don't tempt me into it... :)

Beautiful guitar!

@EnuphStudios the drums are probably midi

[NachoVPMusic]

I love the mood of this piece!

[DaLastBoss]

@waltzforluma Wait could you actually say why? I'm interested in music but know very little about theory.

[elecmahm]

The mood reminds me a bit of starting villages in Squaresoft games (later FF games, Chrono Cross, etc). Nice work!

Elevator music

Sounds like it belongs in a cute game like Mabinogi. :D
