Musical description
WHITE SPACE is composed in a chiptune style. The musical material is eight bars long. It contains two 2-bar phrases, both repeating twice. The first phrase contains stepwise motion around Db and the second phrase outlines a Db major chord. The accompanying chords, IV and I, are arpeggiated.
Analysis
The melody is simple and diatonic, and consists only of quarter notes. The song uses two chords, Gb major and Db major, two of the most stable chords in the key. They form a plagal cadence, which creates a gentle sense of resolution. These elements create a calm and peaceful atmosphere, but also a sense of stagnation, which is heightened by the repeating material being only 13 seconds long, meaning the player will hear it several times even if they are only in White Space for a short while. The sparse instrumentation reflects the emptiness of White Space.
Motif
The White Space motif appears in the following tracks:
- 11 - It's Okay To Try Again... - the first two bars follow a similar shape to the motif
- 16 - A Place By A Lake - a shortened version of the White Space motif is heard around halfway through the track
- 96 - WHITE SPACE - piano version of this track
- 122 - WHITE SPACE - a second piano version of this track
- 131 - Welcome Again. - an off-key version of the motif played monophonically
- 170 - Try Again Little Brother - the first two bars are identical to the White Space motif
Trivia
- The music is played in-game at 60% of the speed and pitch of the music in the game files.
