Title: The Trading Room
Composition by

Hey all, hope you all had a great weekend! It's time for another Steem Monsters track, but we're changing the tone for this one.

Hive account@isaria sent me a demo track a couple weeks ago for a piece she wrote called 'The Trading Room'. It was a variation of the main theme, but subdued and softened in a way that we could use it for the Steem Monsters 'market' area in game. Instantly I had some thought about how I could ruin her beautiful piano performance 😆.

When I thought about the game and the universe in which it takes place, I pictured a market or bazaar where us players gather to trade. Rather than a beautiful score or a grand, epic orchestra, this time I wanted to capture the essence of the commoner. I pictured an outdoor gathering of vendors and displays, with maybe some street performers playing an ancient melody that has since been modified in translation. They're not overly talented, or well-off, so they gather in the center to play their self-made instruments in an attempt to make some Steem to feed their families. They're a humble group; imperfect yet charming.

I added some 'banter' foley to sort of up the immersion.

It's a work in progress but I like where the idea is going. We spoke about maybe updating this music in a rotation, so that given how much time people may spend in the market, they won't have to hear the same thing over and over, week after week.

Thanks for listening, hope you enjoyed!
