Aridean Compass

An entry for a composing jam.

Aridean Compass is an adventure videogame set in an old barren world. Signs of an ancient enemy are seen across the lands. The protagonist (Main Character) with troubled past is forced to race against the clock to retrieve an old artifact as the threat rises. Is there enough time?

Tracklist:
01. Aridean Compass - Main theme 3:43 (written & arranged by: Aaron Englund)

Main theme has the full story outlined. Starting with violin runs representing the emerging threat of an ancient enemy. Shortly after cello and violas lay the core personality of the Main Character whom is a person with a troubled past, but with a noble heart. In first two segments the arrangement switches between the ancient enemy and the MC until breaking down to point of no return. The protagonist rises to defeat the enemy against all odds as the mystery of the compass unravels. Is the threat gone forever? 

I took inspiration from the jam's theme "A journey to remember" by having an adventurous tone in the main theme. I hope you all enjoy it.
