Varuations on EMOTIONSHaolun Bian

This piece of music was outsourced by another student and was used as thebackground music for their game. The music required to be an 8-bit game scenebackground music with the theme of "emotion", representing happiness, sadness, anxiety, struggle, anger and no emotion. The music for each emotion needs to becontrolled within 30 seconds, and can be looped, can be connected in any order, andcan be played as a piece of music. I carefully studied their game and perfectly met theabove requirements in the music I provided. In the music provided, each movementcan be used and listened to separately, and it is very smooth and not abrupt in anyorder or as a whole piece of music.

 

During the creation process, I solved some problems, that is, 8-bit timbre is notsuitable for making sad or struggling feelings. For this, I finally chose to adjust thetimbre and use the more hidden "8-bit/electronic music style" instead of simple "8-bittimbre" to achieve the desired emotion. The final result is obviously satisfactory.

 

This work not only reflects my technical ability in game music design, but alsoshows my deep understanding of the game experience. I was able to flexibly designmusic that was both functional and emotionally resonant based on the game themeand scenario requirements. In addition, achieving a balance between coherence andartistry in multiple emotional music pieces further demonstrated my creativity andexecution under complex requirements. This project further demonstrated myprofessionalism in the field of music and my strong musical skills, providingimportant support for improving the game atmosphere.
