Squid Game - Pink Soldiers

Squid Game

“Squid Game” is a series that introduces us to a group of “financially desperate” people who participate in a survival game, in order to have the opportunity to win a prize of 40 million dollars. For this fearsome game to work, there is a group of soldiers wearing pink hooded suits and masks with symbols of the square, triangle and circle, which determine the hierarchy of these soldiers.

The work “Pink Soldiers” tries to reflect the function of these unknown subjects, since it is given a marching tempo and as the games that are played are those practiced by children in the seventies, it is used as White voice texture (children’s voice):

| Ab - F - Ab - F - Ab - G - Ab - G | Ab - F - Ab - F - Ab - G - Ab - G |

| Ab - Db - Ab - Db - Ab - G - Ab - G | Ab - F - Ab - F - Ab - G - Ab - G |

Pink Soldiers

We observe that the work is in Db Lidio (Db - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb - C - Db) that gives us an air of greatness and grandeur, which is very close to all this construction behind these games. The work introduces another white voice to counterpoint with the first. It should be noted that this new melody begins with a measure unit on the note “G”, which apart from being the characteristic note of the mode (4th augmented), produces for an instant a great tension with the Ab of the first melody (2 minor which is harmonic interval filled with a lot of tension). Sensation that is very successful since these soldiers will not hesitate to comply with the terrible rules of the game if you lose.
