Astral Aurora - The Complete Soundtrack
Genre: Chiptune
Astral Aurora is a soundtrack to a video game Idea that I created in 4 separate parts in my spare time. The game does not yet exist, but the story and soundtrack both do, along with some minor concept art. This project is definitely the biggest, longest, and hardest musical project that i've EVER worked on as of March 6th, 2022. It may not be the most popular or memorable, and it may be disappointing that there is no game yet, but I have managed to persevere through every obstacle and sacrifice thrown at me while making the soundtrack and story, and I will never regret it.
Void Edge
Genre: Glitch, Drum and Bass
I genuinely feel that I’ve come a long way with electronic music and reached another point in my creative adventure. It’s like I’ve crossed another barrier; not as significant a barrier as it was when I first released Carnelian, but another barrier nonetheless. Like Carnelian, I felt different while working on this project. It was a major effort to create something like this, but with all of the experience and feedback that I’ve received since Carnelian’s release in 2019, I think it took significantly less effort this time in the “struggle” sense of the word. I consider this to be my current personal best electronic music.
Carnelian
Genre: Experimental, Future Bass
When I created this song back in 2019, I wanted to put everything that I had into it. I also wanted it to sound like the most unique Future Bass song that anyone has ever heard. As a result, it is more Experimental than Future Bass, and I am more than satisfied by that. It felt different to really take my time and inspect every element of the song to make it sound as good as I could in that time, yet somehow, I still feel that I’ve only put in my 90% as opposed to my 100%. I had trouble opening the draft because of the sheer size of it at the time, and the lag from the project prevented me from doing a little more. Even still, it was personally my best of 2019 for sure.
OMNISHAMBLES
Genre: Chiptune
This is one of the first final boss themes that I’ve ever composed. It is another highlight of Astral Aurora, and I put a LOT into this song. I have to say, though, that this did not turn out how I expected it to. I took several different turns at the beginning of making the song because I was struggling to come up with something that I could accept as a great final boss theme, but in the end, I was able to make something that satisfied me enough!
Turquoi
Genre: Experimental, Trap
This one was primarily inspired by 2 great music artists: Retro, and Nulus. When I was first making the song, I wasn’t expecting to turn it into a trippy, experimental trap-like song, even with the inspiration I had from other trap music, but the idea came to me and I decided to jump on it.
Tetrilax
Genre: Experimental, Trip Hop
The initial idea was for this song to be the fourth in an album of similarly styled songs. In fact, this is partially how I came up with the name; Tetra meaning four, and lax being short for relax. The name came before the song, and it influenced how I went about creating it. It has gone on to be one of my most well-received songs, and I thank you all for enjoying it :)
Cross Luminescence
Genre: Experimental, Trip Hop
This was one of those songs where I really wanted to embrace the weird, trippy style that I have. I was also experiencing art block for a while prior to working on this, and it wasn’t a great experience. I’m glad that I managed to return with a song of this caliber though. Perhaps it wouldn’t have been possible without art block forcing me to take a break…
Thundyre
Genre: Bass House
Oh man, this song was incredibly hard to make. It is inspired by one of my favorite music artists, Defsharp. When I first heard his song Quantum, I was so impressed and in absolute awe that I just HAD to try and create something like it, but no matter how much I tried and tried again, I couldn’t design a bass that I felt was any good, and I ended up taking a long break from trying until, FINALLY, I managed to come up with this.
Deep Nebula: Version Alternate
Genre: Trap
This is the third version of Deep Nebula that I created. I wasn’t initially planning on turning it into Trap, but I decided to do so to challenge myself to make a unique take on trap. I hear so much trap music that sounds similar to each other that it gets exhausting sometimes. This is NOT always the case with Trap music; I’ve heard several unique takes before. I just wanted to create my own, and it turned out way better than I expected!
