Submission

Goosoog is an adventurous goose, but he's not the brightest goose in the flock. One day, suffering from a fit of confusion, Gooosog decided to prepare for battle and slay the evil humans. He picked up his sword, and ... unfortunately, we do don't know what happens next since our game crashed as Goosoog made his way down the elevator.

Author's Notes

Battle Preparations

I wanted to highlight the dichotomy between Goosoog's capabilities and his delusions. While Goosoog thinks himself to be some heroic saviour, he is actually a goose -- and thus quite weak and silly. I attempted to reflect both sides of the story with the contrasting A and B sections.

The track has an ABA structure (with short transitions between sections), where both A and B are palindromes. In both sections, the axis of symmetry (i.e. the point where the reversed part starts) lie in the middle of a bar (rather than in-between measures). As such, the reversed notes have a different grouping of measures, which with adjustments, allows for some level of rhythmic constance, examples being:

The melodic hooks in section A are always at the end of each bar.
The bassoon plays on beats 1 and 3 from bars 10-13 (despite crossing through the midpoint of section B in measure 11).
