This is the second track in my project to rescore the major areas in Elden Ring. It was composed and arranged entirely on the Synthstrom Audible Deluge. My concept is to imagine an Elden Ring demake on the PS2 and what the soundtrack might sound like, taking inspiration from the sound of King's Field 4.

This first track is for Liurnia of the Lakes. I tried to focus on the expansiveness of the area, its damp watery character, and how it has served as a dumping ground for all kinds of unwanted magical experiments from the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

My starting point was the distant trumpets that represent the Carian Knights. From there I brought in some FM percussion with gamelan like sounds that I set to a 11/4 beat in order to bring out a quirky magical vibe that also evokes the dampness of the area. Expansive pads and synth leads further add to the off kilter feeling of the track, and I can imagine the Albinaurics vibing to the final synth riff in the track.

This was a challenging track to compose because Limgrave is huge and diverse, and because I had to start to reimagine the place as something other than what we see in the real Elden Ring. A demake version would be more compact and immediate, and wouldn't use the same kind of ambient tracks we find in the Elden Ring OST. I ended up striking a bit of a balance between ambient and rhythmic sections. Towards the end the trumpets come back in and are drowned out by the various "environmental" sounds, representing how the Academy and Carian Manor are no longer in control of the area in the aftermath of the Shattering. I swear in the next track I won't use awkward brass instruments to poke fun at the nobility!

I think this track was very successful in capturing the feel of the area, especially if we imagine it in a demake with more fog that obscures distant level geometry. Let me know if you agree!
