The music student in my mind goes crazy when I think of what the themes for MCD characters could be
I always think about this and it’s been taking over my brain. So here themes I envision for the MCD characters
Laurence
His theme would be a tragedy. Something that foreshadows and hints to the pain that awaits him. Theres a low hum of bass and horns, slowly growing until it overwhelms the accompaniment. Reflecting his suppressed shadow knight abilities, the instincts that wail louder each day.
There’s a recurring chord progression played on a piano, a soft hopeful sound. It shines through the menacing bass, his humanity prevailing against the odds.
Eventually though, The bass and horns win out. but that chord always sings quietly.
Garroth
His theme is quieter than anyone else’s. He hides who he is, so his theme hides aswell.
Woodwinds carry the melody, a quiet and gentle song that speaks to who he is. Garroth puts other before himself, but he’s selfish in a twisted way. He protects his identity and heart by burying it deep.
The melody would fade when he looses himself. Brass takes over the melody, it’s pitch is lowered and blends into the accompanying instruments.
It prevails in the end, Strings and Woodwinds playing together in harmony as he finally accepts who he is.
Aphmau
Her and Irene have complimentary themes. Irene’s is haunted by an organ and twinkling music box. It’s hollow, she feels nothing so her sound lacks life.
Aphmaus is lively, The themes is played by a piano and violin, hopeful and strong. It ebbs and flows naturally, like the wind or ocean waves.
Her theme dims when she is losing her will. Her determination is the driving force behind everything she does, when she loses motivation the music becomes distorted.
The distortion mimics Irene’s theme. the hollow organ and haunting music box invading and playing alongside the Violin and Piano.
Eventually they blend together, Irene’s theme becomes complete and regains its energy. Because Aphmau and Irene are meant to meld together, two incomplete halves become whole.
