Animula

This is my submission for the OST Composing Jam II! "Animula" is a game set in the beginning of the universe. Vitari, a divine being of creation (the deer in the theme picture, hint hint ;) ) creates Animula, a small, sprite-like being who contains the essence of life. It is Animula's job to travel the cosmos and sow the seeds of life across the universe.

Please follow along with these track descriptions as you listen :)

1. Animula's Birth: The game opens with a cutscene of Animula (similar to a Junimo from Stardew Valley) awakening on our home planet. As they begin to move, the world blossoms: grass, moss and flowers fill and brighten the black void around them, forming a pathway to follow. Finally, Animula finds Vitari, who begins to explain their mission.

2. The Cosmos: this ambient track is meant to be the level select music. It plays as you traverse the cosmos, searching for the next planet to spread life to.

3. Life in Bloom: in contrast to the first two ambient tracks, Life in Bloom is more joyous and upbeat. Animula must get to work solving puzzles and traversing vast landscapes to sow the seeds of life, but the music keeps it all light-hearted. I imagine that, in game, more instruments will enter as you make more progress in the level.

Please let me know what you think of this short soundtrack! Feedback is welcome!
