This piano composition captures the essence of tranquility, serenity, and joy, inspired by a blissful day spent basking under the warm Portuguese sun. 
 Let the music take you on a captivating journey through the natural beauty of the Ria Formosa Natural Park reserve in Faro, immersing you in the serene atmosphere of this picturesque destination."

Tsuya


Premises
I love this image of the little girl holding a womanly figure hand in a see of bubbles and draw fish and algae.

As I was reading the jam submission guidelines, I saw that the overall submission should be at least 3 minute long with at least 1 song, but can also be broken apart in multiple songs.

I can already imagine key shots for a short film scenario or a FMV/Intro, but because this is for an OST for a game, I'm thinking more what kind of game it is (details later).

This is also a good opportunity to learn to do somewhat of a "spotting" session in a way as I don't have much experience in that, but also a good opportunity to create my first composition ever with a strong theme.

I also want to strongly tie in the OST to the image and text as they are really evocative for me!



Impermanence
Examining the picture, we can see a little girl in a yukata smiling while holding the hand of what seems like a maternal figure (mom, grandma?), so immediately the theme in Japan (a country I would love to visit for its cultural richness and vistas).

I had some thoughts about the text theme "inside my world", and thought that maybe the bubble-shaped lady could be in the imaginative and boundless world of creativity of this kid.

But even if there is a lot of happiness with the girl smiling from ear to ear and the cute, drawn fish, bubbles, and algae, to me it's still reads as something quite tragic.

Bubbles are by essence, one of the flimsiest physical events that I can think of.

When formed they can seemingly pop randomly and almost immediately, and in the mind of a child, they just cease to exist.

They are the beautiful, but ephemeral, the physical manifestation of impermanence.

In a way, they are a good image for life itself, a fragile and provisional state of existence that we are all bound to.

This picture paints, for me, the beautiful imaginative world of a little girl who is, in a way, connecting one last time with a recently deceased mother/grandmother.



Tsuya
A Japanese wake is called tsuya which means "passing the night".

I think having this be the starting event of this story would fit well both themes.

Saddened by the loss of her mother, the little girl tries to paint a colorful world with her mother on it but as she falls asleep, she gets transported into this dreamy world of her drawings, but now tainted by darkness.

But her mother (bubble lady) will show her the way to save her world, give her the strength to face her new life without her, and for one last time, show just how much she loved her.
