Fallen Leaves

I've recently released a developing album dubbed "Fallen Leaves", every song of which is inspired by a motif heard from @AniFAE_Productions on YouTube (please check him out, he posts good stuff), the subject being Project SciFae. Essentially, the vibe should be 80s cyberpunk, or retro-futuristic (whatever floats your boat), with a generally dark feel and a touch of fantasy, hence some tracks being a mix of synths & some orchestral instruments.

This one is the first track of the album and my personal favorite. I consider it my most complex and diverse in its composition, and the instruments seemed to be balanced rather well. It's supposed to infuse adrenaline, as if we're witnessing near bullet time before a fight goes down. In a future dystopia, survival means always running. Always fighting.

By this time, this one is my longest track. It has a more dream-like feel as we're introduced to a dystopian city existing far past our time. The city, as it stands, and everything we see has gone up in flames--now a small oligarchy and choice mafia reign over morose denizens, so normalcy loses its meaning. One species replaces another. Little hope remains in a super-technological society, where nature seldom resides.

This one's a bit of a rising star, which I'd never guess. It's different from my usual style of high-tempo, complicated melodies & beats. And yet, this one had the most structure despite being relatively simple, so it essentially wrote itself! The vibe should feel moody, morose, and at some point, downright terrifying before we arrive to a tribute for the dead. This one's got a sequence--

Our protagonist, who we'll call "Y", has already seen much of the unthinkable and is now a commander of a starship, cruising through space with a sizable crew at her beck and call. During Y's travels, an operator called her over as he picked up a broken transmission. Things continue to get tense as Y stood over his shoulder, perusing the details she could just make out. Suggestions tell of an imminent disaster, and it became clear that this is a call for help. However, the signal fades, and Y could realize what had transpired. We reveal a derelict freighter, floating amidst debris and traces of a rift in space-time. It became too real for Y as she laments the ill-fated crew, that space traversal without support will mean certain death. Any prayer for help will only receive silence, as was the case with the freighter. Y held her head low, paying tribute to the fallen, followed by her crew as we see a wide shot of everyone gathered at the bridge standing in solemn silence.

With everything as it stands...
None extend a helping hand...
Every foundation bereaves...
Unanswered prayers, now Fallen Leaves.

This one's the fourth track in my ongoing album, which I'm quite proud of. I'm least confident with this one despite it sounding great in my opinion, as it has an obvious partition at some point, where it rapidly picked up the pace. With the organ, I concluded that it gave an octane feel, almost like picturing a race between our protagonist and a cocky driver, speeding down the highway overlooking the city. The track, if you will, fires on all cylinders.
