Being half Chinese-Mauritian and half Canadian with a European background, I often consider my identity as where I am most comfortable. Mauritius is known for their beaches, and these are one of my favourite places to be. I often draw inspiration for melodies and other creative ideas when relaxing there.
As such, “Coral’s Theme”’s mood is a nod to Mauritian beaches. To encapsulate my Chinese heritage, the melody only consists of five notes, creating a pentatonic scale that is often associated with Chinese music. To represent my Canadian and European heritage, I recorded the main melody on flute. This is also my main instrument and thus is a big part of who I am.
Mania Mode is a high-water mark for the video game music community and a steadfast reminder of why I fell in love with VGM in the first place. GameGrooves
