Poems In The Fog is the 18th track in the official soundtrack of OMORI. It plays in Pinwheel Forest.

Musical description

The track features a guitar playing arpeggios, with a gentle melody comprised mostly of dotted half notes, that is first played by an atmospheric lead synth, and then by a guitar with a tremolo. The chord sequence progresses through some non-diatonic harmony but returns to the home key of F major at the end of the track. The track is overall in 3/4, but slips into 4/4 at certain points.

Analysis

The fluctuations in rhythm of the quavers in the guitar accompaniment and the mixed meter help to create an off-balance feeling, which coheres with it being played on a windy patch of land suspended in the sky. The chromaticism and chords borrowed from the parallel minor also serve to add a wistful quality to the music.

Trivia

  • The unsteady tempo was inspired by the save room music in Resident Evil 1[2].
