"The Coming Storm" - Ryan Leach Composing Contest January 2023 || Track Previews
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATION PROVIDED
(Illustration by Daniel Terrado https://www.artstation.com/danielterrado)
The story I get from the illustration is one that is not a race specifically but of a personal vendetta between the 2 main racers who are seen "glaring" at each other. Their personal battle is occurring in conjunction with an fast approaching storm which can be interpreted as well as an analogy for the conflict about to ensue between them.
MY MUSICAL APPROACH
My approach with the music was to represent both the storm and the personal conflict while also evoking the harsh isolation, desolation and cold landscape. The cue starts out evoking what I imagine the characters would feel out in the middle of nowhere and witnessing a major storm incoming. With little time to think things through, the racers sense they need to flee the area or they will get trapped out there and die. Contrary motions of the strings creating a harsh dissonance build up to techno-like rhythms and tribal shouts and drum hits as the racers all flee. Then the repeating rhythms build in aggression as the 2 main racers still feel the need to battle it out while outrunning a storm that is fastly approaching behind them. The cue ends with an abruptness to represent that the storm overtook all of them and they all died.
