CORVID Demo Track - Feathered Pursuit (Demo v2)
2For the first time in CORVID track history, I have made a v2 of something! I was originally gonna wait to make this till the one year anniversary of the original Feathered Pursuit... but then again I had all the ideas for it NOW so...
For those who missed the original, this is the theme for when Corvid is chasing you. Aka, this is the theme that is going to play the most in the game. Therefor, I have to get it juuuuuuussstt right, and thus, this is the track that will likely get the most demos.
In this one, I properly introduced Corvid Motifs 2-4 (previous version only had Corvid Motif 1). Corvid Motifs 3 and 4 were made in that old Corvid track I have yet to release, (I'll get to it...) and Corvid Motif 2 is a more recent addition.
I had used Corvid Motif 2 in a track called "Feathering Tempest: Maxwell's Version", however something happened (I don't remember what) and I lost the file for that track while I was working on it... I was a few hours into making it aswell. I'll have to remake that one...
Anyways, you can consider the motifs like this:
Corvid Motif 1: The motif that plays if Corvid is even in the area or related at all (so in most songs in the game)
Corvid Motif 2: The motif that plays in songs with a stronger connection to Corvid (Chase theme, boss theme (which is what Feathering Tempest was), etc)
Corvid motifs 3 and 4: supplementary motifs that I use when I feel like it
This song also introduced the Woodhouse Motif, which plays in songs related to Emily or her mother. Technically, via the Corvid Motif 1 logic, this could allow it to play anywhere, however due to its length and other thematic reasons, it only plays in more important tracks.
You'll also notice that the Woodhouse Motif is the only thing not played on guitar, instead being a piano, and that's because piano is basically Emily's instrument. Not every piano song is related to Emily, but every Emily song is played on Piano.
Also, the fact that Emily's motif is in this song means that in the alternate universe where there are multiple playable characters (not happening... well... kinda... ehh I can't get into it), their motifs would play in that part of this theme. Pretty neat!
