Name: Seeds of the Universe OST [Game Jam] - "Empty (Day)" by Cody Mitchell
Duration: 2 min 37 s
Description: One of the songs for a gamejam game called "Seeds of the Universe"

This is a very special track for me; I made it for the EP Charity Jam Album, which was a big collaboration between a lot of composers. We all made songs for one album that is now being sold on bandcamp! All the proceeds go to the AbleGamers fund, which is a fantastic cause to support.

Cherry Garcia

When the poison blood
leaks from skin that breaks
On the tile floor
forming pretty stains...
No amount of bleach
will make it clean
No amount of love
will heal the scar of me!

With my yellow eyes
and my hands that shake
With my twisted tongue
and my belly aches...
You say good bye
you kiss good night
You sing healing words
in an opera of knives!

When the mourning comes
please don't be afraid
If my body lies
in a separate place...
You smiled at me
when your destiny
Had given birth
to my obituary.

An Aria Of Anguish

A Lament Of Language

A Carol Of Courtship

Born all alone in abandon
Since you were but seventeen
When the lurker in the shadow
comes to reap he comes for thee
Say goodbye to all your loved ones
Will they weep or be relieved?

A Hymn Of Hardship

Battle theme for an upcoming game we are working on called The Few Who Stood

[DAY 2] Big Baddie Battle

Melancholic, dreamy, atmospheric.
Nostalgic, sadly beautiful forest, soaking in the rays of the morning sun. The place where fairies dance when no one sees them.

This is the main theme played in the game PAWNS. I really enjoyed making this song, because it felt like something that I would take inspiration from in the future

Music Theory Content Below:
Harmonically my most impressive song at the moment because it is technically not in the Major nor Minor Scale. Instead it uses what’s known as a mode which defines the root note. In this case, the song uses the key of C, but I use the Dorian Mode which makes the root note D. 
(I ii iii IV V vi vii° becomes i ii III IV v vi° VII)
However I did cheat a little bit by makaking what in this case would be a vm7 and made it a V7 in the progression to make it sound more minor harmonic, but I also thought that followed well from the vi°7.
For the buildup, I let the chord progression go, but I decided to add a pedal point because I thought it made the pedal point more intense.

Determined To Fight (Demo)

This song was intended to be for when a boss battle shows up, but we didn't have enough time to add those. I also didn’t have that much inspiration for this demo but if we continue development, I would like to build on this song more. Otherwise I still hope you enjoy it!

Music Theory Below:
I don’t have much on it at the moment. Just a Pedal point, and random chords on the buildup
