Greenpath

Greenpath is originally in the key of E Dorian. It is part of the Hollow Knight soundtrack, composed and produced by Christopher Larkin for the game developed by Team Cherry and released in 2017. The piece plays in the Greenpath area of the game, reflecting the environment's mixture of beauty and danger. The composer used modal harmony to create an otherworldly feel. The melody features arpeggiated figures, layered textures, and a steady rhythm around 170 beats per minute. It is built with evolving phrases and a rising melodic contour that repeats with slight variations.
