This is the collection of musical pieces that were inspired by video game soundtracks, but weren't made for any particular project.
Consider this album as a fictional game original soundtrack!
"Reinforced" is an energetic rock track that would be perfect for a fighter jet dog fighting game, or perhaps a racing game of some kind. Its style is reminiscent of late 80s rock and movie soundtracks.
"Rising" comes from the same inspiration as the previous track. It features rock and cinematic instruments in style of 80s, and several key changes to keep things interesting.
"Stories Untold" is a heartfelt piece fitting for a home town scene, small village exploration, characters reminiscing etc. It features a subtle acoustic guitar, melancholic violin and an electric piano.
"The Royal Guard" is an orchestral epic, cosisting of many parts and several motifs presented in varying contexts. It starts heroic, but has folk and piano moments, as well as dark and sinister sounding middle.
It's a story of heroism, emotions, and battle against fate!
"A Letter Never Sent" is an emotional piece for piano, erhu, cello, and strings that explores how fleeting moments are, and some never have the chance to come true, even though they live on in our hearts.
Erhu performance was enhanced with Ai for improved realism.
"Promised Land" is a nostalgic yet ominous piece with a hopeful resolution, fitting for a video game with a big world and emotional story.
"Late Checkout Lounge" is a bossa nova, feel-good music track featuring piano, acoustic guitars, bass guitar, and various percussion instruments. Also a subtle female voice doubling the jazzy guitar solo.
"Chasing Shadows" is a full of emotion piece for piano, violin, oboe and pipe organ, fitting being lost in a gothic maze.
"Exploring The Forest" is a mysterious theme fitting for dense and humid forest exploration, especially in a JRPG game. It features a piano, double bass, percussive instruments, plucked strings, violin solo, flute, layered acoustic guitars, and other.
"Breakpoint" is a full of drama military-inspired mix of genres that would suit a war game.
"COSMOS" is a dark haunting music describing a slow descent into the unknown vastness of space.
"Back One Day" is a beautiful theme about parting ways or longing. It features acoustic guitars, vivid bass guitar, cellos, and electric guitar solo.
"Enigma - Dark Mystery" is a piece that fits a scene with a villain, a doomsday machine, or a mysterious organization planning in the shadows their world domination.
"The Distant Stars" is a sad and intimate piece fitting for an emotional conversation by the fireplace, or reminiscing cutscene.
"Temple Under The Sand" is a mysterious theme fitting for a big open area with ruins of some sorts. It features wind SFX and a synthesizer.
"For The Fallen" is a theme that would fit a scene showing the character moving on from the death of another warrior. Paying respects and setting off into the winding forest path.
"After The Storm" is a sad piece, fitting a scene following a big disaster, like world destruction. It also features a few notes of hope, and the bell drawns out the piece as a symbol for reverie.
Thank you for listening!
