BLOG TEST - Composing for the show Océanne

For the project Oceanne

* Plot : Oceanne is deaf and a mute. She's been crying since she was born. So much so that her tears are about to flood the village. They need to find a way to make her stop crying before the village disappears. Her best friend is Ben who stutters a lot, exept when he reads Oceanne stories about her grandfather Anatole, a boat captain who wants to prove that mermaids exist.

* I used various themes to represent the main characters and important objects in the show. Each theme is created with the characters' personnality in mind.

* Oceanne is a mute who wishes she could sing, so her main instrument is a flute, to replace the voice she doesn't have.

* Ben has a stutter, so the melody of his song does too

* Anatole is a boat captain on an adventure, so he has a glorious theme with brass and high energy

* The village characters are completely mad, so they have their own weird and funny theme with the whole orchestra

* The music box is a variation on Oceanne's theme and its melody is also with the flute.

* The last suite from the show combines Oceanne's theme to Anatole's since they are closely united.
