about

The artwork for this track is by Sharkie (sharkberries.tumblr.com/)--Mer OCs of them and one of their friends!

My influences for this one were probably the weirdest combination of songs so far. Cape Breton Lullaby, which is a lovely choral piece that I sang in Elementary school and really stuck with me for all these years: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfJjkyWfZVE And a medley of the Mario water level songs from a bunch of different games: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xelag0YVrcs I think the mixolydian scale gives pieces a slightly off-kilter feel, which I like for a piece about non-human creatures. And listening to Mario music was really helpful for studying how composers who were seriously limited by technology decided to represent water and swimming.

Anyway, it's really fun to write music for characters like this! I hope it's clear which of the instruments and themes represents each of them.

(My co-editor and best friend Lianne and I are very familiar with this particular friend dynamic--the big, quiet, serious one and the little extroverted one who gets all up in the other's space. So yes, I'm drawing from my own life here :D)
