Ancient Consecrated Ruins (original composition)
Published 2022-08-06
I was inspired by Elden Ring for this, although the music style and instruments used is hardly like anything you'd hear in the game. I was inspired when I travelled to the beautiful land of Miquella's Haligtree, although by the time you arrive there in the game, the once holy Haligtree has been tainted by Malenia's scarlet rot, and the tree's ruler, Miquella, is nowhere to be found. When you first arrive, there are Oracle Envoy enemies scattered around the Haligtree branches, and they are all playing a high E with their weird bubble-producing horn things. Their music goes well with the actual background music in the Haligtree Town area, and so the horn parts in this song were made in reference to the Oracle Envoys in the Haligtree. The "consecrated" in the title was inspired by the fact that the Haligtree is a holy area, and the "ancient ruins" part was inspired by Crumbling Farum Azula, which was a holy city during the reign of Dragonlord Placidusax. I thought it would be interesting to try and incorporate some jazz elements into the song, namely the piano, bass and saxophones.
