This album was composed for OST Composing Jam #7. The theme was "Inside my world." My album includes three tracks for an imaginary narrative adventure game called "Picnic at Maple Pier." The anxious main character seeks connection by inviting a friend to a picnic on the pier. Along the way they discover the richness of the everyday world.

Track 1: "Morning Light Through The Bedroom Window"
In this track, the main character wakes up and takes in the morning (the world of the new day coming into the bedroom). It's going to be a great day! This track features live recordings of guitar and percussion, sampled piano and flute, a couple instruments from BBCSO Core, LABS Gaelic Voices and an excerpt from a Carlos Drummond de Andrade poem!

Track 2: "Under The Umbrella"
In this track, the main character experiences a summer rainstorm (the world 'under the umbrella'). It uses a woodwinds, brass, and percussion from the BBCSO Core library and the LABS Soft Piano.

Track 3: "On The Pier Under The Stars"
In this track, the main character reflects about their experiences from the day (the world under the canopy of stars). Not everything went according to plan, but that's okay. It was a day they will not forget anytime soon. This track uses a sampled piano and flute and mixed percussion from BBCSO Core.
