Abstract
This Thesis will discuss the creation and development of the musical piece, “Final Rise,”a piece from the in-development game: Pure Rise. The game follows the journey of Ferry, a spirit creature whose goal is to restore his kingdom, Schism, from eternal darkness. He is the Queen’s son, and was born pure at heart. He has watched his home turn to evil, and his friends and family along with it. Throughout the game, he must overcome many trials and eventually he reaches the source of the corruption. His final task is to climb the Watchtower, and close the portal which has let the corruption into Schism. This music’s task is to follow Ferry as he makes his final climb. Throughout the game, the player has heard Ferry’s theme multiple times. “Final Rise” is an encapsulation of Ferry’s theme into an epic ending, with three distinct parts that highlight each stage of his journey and each area of the tower.
