Another Ertal Games collab, another soundtrack! A lot cheerier than Lurkers, with a pretty jazzy and airy mood across (almost) all tracks. I drew inspiration from jazz from that time, which is especially apparent in the Django Reinhardt-inspired piece.
The soundtrack is not yet out to the public (Kickstarter backers only at the moment!) but will be released alongside the full game in early 2021!
My first collaboration with Ertal Games and aonther soundtrack! I think it somehow came to be over our mutual friend Cuby who also did the initial character art.
The music for it is fairly dark for the most part (it's a murder mystery VN, after all!), drawing inspiration from old movies and some traditional songs.
The soundtrack is available on Bandcamp! https://fricochet.bandcamp.com/album/lurkers-original-soundtrack
The prologue to Egoholic that was released for the Yaoi Game Jam in July 2018. I had to work on a tighter schedule, since the deadline was looming, but I'm satisfied with the results. The Café Esmeralda theme and the Rubicon Theme from the Egoholic Demo make a comeback in a refined version, but other than that, all tracks are completely new.
The soundtrack is pretty much dominated by jazzy tunes reminiscent of 1940's noir movies - it's a b/w detective story, after all! However, some tracks show a strong influence from classic rock, classical music and even noise genres.
On a more technical note, I made sure that all the tracks feature a seamless loop, which took me a while to figure out, but greatly improved their usability as background music.
If you're curious: the 2020 remaster of the soundtrack is available on Bandcamp as a pay what you want download, so give it a try if you like.
The first game/VN I was asked to compose for. Mostly classical/baroque-inspired tracks with a little bit of jazz, folk and world music here and there. I also designed some of the sound effects, to be precise: the doorbell of the book store and the menu sounds.
There are a lot of things that I would do differently now, so the soundtrack will definitely be reworked for the full version.
