FAWM: "On solid ground"

On solid ground

Liner Notes

The second song of the album this FAWM is about a stable personality who often looks quite relaxed and down-to-earth. So I had to use a solid 4/4 rhythm with a clear beat. The flute, clarinet, bassoon and some of the percussion symbolise her love for nature and being outside. Also, she has a #kalimba, which helped form the idea for this song's intermezzos which also symbolize how she never fears making her own choices and deviating from the norm.

The song is also in #lydian mode (raised 4th tone). #modal-challenge

How utterly refreshing and enchanting! I clicked for #lyrian and #kalimba because they're both off the beaten path and had to listen several times because it's so cool!

This perfectly matches the personality you describe - capable and playful with both straightforward and unusual elements, a pure heart, and a sense of adventure. It very much feels like video game music where she's tromping through a meadow getting her footing in this new world. At the same time, I also hear the classical influence.

This feels so fresh and vibrant! I love the falling theme that you start with (the "kalimba" tune?). The more song-like sections have a strong groove, but still manage to do surprising things.

Reminds me very heavily of PS2 era adventure rpg games like FFX or kingdom hearts like beach/small town shop music 💚 very nice production and bonus points for giving me some nostalgia 🎵🎶

Love all of this. Your production is top notch and gives all the instruments their own distinct space. Sounds wonderful and thanks for sharing it with us.
