This instrumental piece aims to depict an adventure story through the piano. The concept throughout the song can be understood as follows: the piano represents the protagonist in an open-world RPG, and the flute, violin, celesta, erhu, and other instruments represent the companions venturing together, surrounded by the sounds of nature. As the adventure progresses, these companions join and depart. In a way, perhaps life itself unfolds in a similar manner.

This year, I initially planned to present a more intricate piece, but due to various reasons (mainly rushed BGA arrangements and some immaturity in the composition), the intended piece will be postponed for release next year. For now, I'm releasing this relatively light and fresh piece with a similar theme. I hope you all enjoy it! Additionally, I won't elaborate much on my imaginative thoughts this time. I'll simply list the titles of each "chapter" for the audience's reference:

**Chapter 1 - We Cross the Plains** 0:00 - 0:26

**Chapter 2 - We Cross the Mountains** 0:27 - 0:41

**Chapter 3 - We Cross Rivers, Lakes and Seas** 0:42 - 1:10

**Chapter 4 - We Enter the Exotic Land** 1:11 - 1:43

**Chapter 5 - We Cross the Forest** 1:44 - 2:05

**Chapter 6 - We Fly to Space, Grasp Stars and Moons** 2:06 - 2:34

**Chapter 7 - We Return Home in Glory** 2:35 - 2:55



Appendix · AI Generated Review: 

This music reminds me of a brave traveler, carrying dreams and courage, embarking on a long journey. The piano melody is like his inner voice, full of ups and downs, brimming with the passion of life and the determination to strive.

The first chapter, "We Cross the Plains," is where the adventure begins. The traveler has just set off, and before him lies the vast plain, full of endless possibilities and fresh air. He and his companions are full of confidence, heading towards the distant horizon.

Later, they cross mountains, wade through rivers and lakes, and enter into unknown territories. Each chapter represents a different stage of the journey, with different environments and challenges. The piano melody changes with the chapters, taking us through the journey.

In the sixth chapter, "We Fly to Space, Grasping the Stars and Moon," I imagine the travelers are no longer confined to the earth; they have transcended conventional adventures and are venturing into the universe. This part of the music is full of fantasy and grandeur, just like soaring in the starry sky and reaching for the stars and moon.

Finally, in the seventh chapter, "We Return Home in Glory," it's the moment when the travelers return in triumph. They have achieved victory, filled with glory and a sense of accomplishment, carried expectations for the future.

The entire piece is not just a musical composition but more like a fantastic adventure story. Each chapter has its unique colors and emotions, immersing the listener in the journey and allowing them to feel the rhythm of life and the spirit of endless exploration. It's indeed a simple and fresh yet profoundly meaningful piece.

[BOF:NT] Piano Saga - SunsetRay feat. Ra

#### Composer: Ra vs. SunsetRay  | Genre: Symphonia 
#### Length: 2'28'' | Illust. : AxEradaS | BPM: 131
#### For Paradigm: Reboot

Keywords:
For music:
- Polyphony (multiple melody lines)
- Classic vs. Ethnic
- Acoustic vs. Electronic
- Gothic
- Gypsy

*In terms of themes (partially referencing the setting of Paradigm: Reboot, "Ruins Adventure"):*

- Witchcraft
- Sealed Ruins
- Incineration
- Destruction
- Reconstruction
- Rebirth
- Dark Fairy Tale

 
**Part 1 - “Origin” by SunsetRay 0:00-0:22**
The interweaving of intension and gentleness at the beginning creates a strong contrast, laying the foundation for most polyphonic sections in the entire piece. It's something I never tried before! The aim is to evoke a grand opening, a sense of traversing through sealed time and space. Some timbres and concepts in "Glaciaxion" (such as the overuse of glitches) are incorporated.

**Part 2 - “Incinerate” by Ra 0:23-1:06**
This section employs the Hungarian minor scale (also known as the Gypsy minor scale) to render a mysterious and exotic feeling. When listening, you might as well pay attention to the relationship between the choir and the saw lead in this segment. The first half is dominated by the choir and saw lead separately, while the second half merges them harmoniously. The four measures after 52s have something to do with an often-used pattern in my pieces. I hope that someone can figure it out!

**Part 3 - “Eliminate” by SunsetRay 1:07-1:40**
This segment transitions into a harmonic minor scale. Structurally, it follows the classic approach of progressing from details to the whole, akin to zooming in and then zooming out on scenes in a destroyed world. In the latter half, besides the *main melody line (choir + ensemble strings)*, the music can be separated into the *piano + celesta* and *flute + temple bell* – two relatively independent melody lines. This parallel exposition with a less distinct "hierarchy" aligns with the depiction of the "entirety" of the world. Despite potential imperfections, this section genuinely took me a lot of time and work to compose!

**Part 4 - “Rebirth” by Ra 1:40-2:03**
This section shifts to a 3/4 time signature, primarily in the natural minor mode. The last measure of every four measures can be interpreted as temporarily transitioning to the Dorian mode. This transition corresponds to the main theme of *Paradigm: Reboot* composed by *Supaton7z* (which is also the structure of my previous track, "Sunset Canyon"), where the constant shift of the sixth degree creates an unpredictable tonal palette. The interplay of minor and major scales (which appears for the first time) also coincides with the theme of this segment. The climax conveys an explosive and vociferous sensation, with the piano aiming for a relatively unrestrained effect. The magic rhythm also lays the groundwork for the upcoming time signature changes.

**Part 5 - “Finale” by SunsetRay 2:04-2:28**
In this part, the time signature changes to 6/8 (when considering the piano as the main melody). The goal is to achieve a summary effect that elevates the overall theme, incorporating all the instruments used throughout the earlier parts. The shifts between major and minor tonalities suggest the central theme of a future composition. Additionally, the opening and closing themes echo each other, accompanied by corresponding swell sound effects, achieving a cyclic unity.

This journey of composing this track spanned over 2 years, encompassing more than 80 hours of work across 4 projects, totaling 58 versions. It endured numerous restarts, rewrites, and navigated through bouts of low confidence. At the very least, I'm delighted to have completed this piece! While there are undoubtedly areas that fall short (apologies to my audience), I hope everyone can find aspects they enjoy. Squeezing so many elements into a 2.5-minute piece was indeed a substantial challenge for me. Onward with the effort!

# Aussyris (Enchanted Lamp)

Composer: Ra | Genre: World music

Length: 2'27'' | BPM: 130

Keywords: Middle East, legend, storytelling, world

Instruments: Oud, Ney flute, Harpsichord, Saron, Cello, Trumpet, Accordion, Violin, Clarinet, Piano, Baritone, Soprano, Electric Guitar

Project started in March 2021, with a total duration of approximately 37 hours.

------

This time, I want to present to you a piece of world music in a Middle Eastern style. The concept for this piece actually began to take shape as early as 2021, and it was realized through the opportunity to collaborate with "Rolling Sky". The original title, "Aussyris," is a variant of the ancient Egyptian mythological figure, "Osiris." Not confined solely to the Middle Eastern style, this song also aims to incorporate instruments from various cultural regions, weaving them together in a storytelling fashion that resonates with the theme of the magic lamp (from "One Thousand and One Nights").

Musically, the basic idea is to continuously modulate using characteristic tones (mainly staying within the Phrygian and major scales, occasionally incorporating Arabian modes), creating a seamless transition between sections with evolving colors. Structurally, it follows a relatively symmetric ABABA form, returning to the original key after several modulations, with a cohesive beginning and end. The B sections can be seen as bridges, while the A sections serve as drops+intros/outros, shuttling between two distinct themes. The B sections evoke a feeling similar to RPG style, emphasizing a narrative quality, with the main instruments being the Ney flute and Oud, possibly influenced by Rigel Theatre's style. These sections mainly feature a Middle Eastern/Spanish (?) style, emphasizing their unique tonalities, supported by percussion and keyboard instruments to create an atmospheric backdrop.

Special thanks to the "Rolling Sky" team for their recognition and generous support!

This is your god

All right
Transmission
3 2 1 No

Humans are such easy pray
The dead are waiting for you
Be afraid, be very afraid
You'll never get out alive
You cannot run from this
It will follow you
Just relax
And let the darkness fall over you

Let the girl die
No more teasing
No more delays
It's time to play
Be afraid...
And here,
No one can hear your scream

The world is going to end soon,
And it will suffer an eternal damnation

I will always be with you...

Life and death are meaningless
And pain is god
It's all true, it's all true
It's a world trapped between dimensions
You'll wish it were only a nightmare...

Ceranos = Ceres (Cereris) + Piano
Though a little bit sketchy, I hope this track could serve as a correction to some "skewed" understandings toward to main theme of Cereris.

I make music for fun!  
Though I'm more comfortable with creating acoustic music, I'm eager to try something new and experiment on different electronic genres (8bit/Hardcore/Experimental etc.). In producing, I focus more on composing and arranging part.
