These two pieces of music were made by me for our animation project "Blood&Steel", which can be regarded as the soundtrack of the animation.

 

In the Flashback clip, I strive to achieve a desolate and tragic feeling, because that is what the script requires, "reflecting Henry's miserable childhood", so I use the piano as an instrument and compose in a relatively low minor key to achieve this effect. At the same time, due to the particularity of background music, the melody cannot be obvious or dominate. Therefore, there is no too obvious melody in the whole music, and I designed fade-in and fade-out, which can make the music perfectly transition to the next section.

In Final Music, the main thing is passion. "Henry beats the robot after awakening and finally wins", so I chose electric guitar as the main melody, and the electronic music and synthesizer full of fighting, passion, and cyber style as the accompaniment, which perfectly shows the final decisive battle and the hearty victory. Similarly, as background music, its melody is not very obvious, but it is much more obvious than Flashback - it is adapted to local conditions, because the final needs to climax in every part, including visual and auditory senses, so I retained some characteristic melody

parts, which can make the whole movie reach a real climax.
