Mirage

The fictional game, Mirage, begins when the protagonist finds themselves waking up in a dream. They have no recollection of who they were prior to the dream, and they know that they will forget everything about the dream once they wake up. The story follows the protagonist as they explore their absurd and surreal dream world in an attempt to figure out who they are and regain their memories. 

Track 1: "Boat"  -  This track would play at the beginning of the game as the protagonist approaches and arrives at the main city area of the game.  The beginning section would loop as they approach the area, and then the drums, bass, etc. would start once they enter the actual area. (1:51)

Track 2: "Anemone" - This track would loop in the background while the player explores a more remote and scenic area of the world. (4:05)

Track 3: "Janus" - This track would play at the end of the game. The dream is ending and the protagonist is losing their memories, but they come to accept that their dreams cannot last forever and their inner world/past self will inevitably change. This would be the only track without any electronic/synth sounds to reflect the drastic  turning point in the story that is occurring.

Generally, I tried to make tracks that give a sort of disorienting or unpredictable but calming feeling while still having them sound mostly peaceful to reflect the dream setting.  Total runtime is 8:26. I hope you enjoy!
