Description
Year 2157, Earth has been crushed by climate changed. Mankind is in need of finding another welcoming planet to start civilization once again.
Saisei 再生 (Regeneration) is an exploration game. You'll find yourself on a new dreamy abundant planet, similar but different from Earth. You'll get to know plants, animals and life itself in another form. Collect everything that comes to sight but beware of hungry beasts and poisonous plants.
It's a game of human rebirth. A game of personal regeneration.
An hybrid OST, organic + synthetic, that represents a futuristic nature where humans can build a new society, reassuring and familiar at times, sometimes threatening and obscure.
The OST was composed in Studio One 5 Pro with virtual synths, modular elements, acoustic pianos and organic sounds.
Message from the artist:
We took this world for granted, we should imagine ourselves in a hostile environment to save what's precious in this life.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Panspermia is the theory that live exists throughout the Universe. I've tried to imagine life somewhere else, far from here. Of course I could not leave behind all the sounds and memories from this planet, but I've made everything kind of nostalgic and sometimes even disturbing, always keeping the inner beauty of things.

Oh I love the last track! This bass guitar and violin is beautiful.
Thank you!!
Good job, nice piano but I think it's too loud for me
Mix could be improved, you're right. Thank u!
Wow I like your style, very nice music and flute is brilliant. Good job :-)
Awww thank you!
this sounds really nice. Love the piano and the synth
Thanks a lot!
Nice piano music!
Thanks!
beautiful music :) the music describe very well :)
Thanks!
You really capture that blend of organic and synthetic sounds well, really fitting for the exploration of an alien planet you describe
Thank you!!
Love the musical theme ! Each track has its own color and it gives a very nice feeling ! The Saisei main title with only this minimalistic piano is really gorgeous ! Well done !
Thankss :)
I. Some of the volume levels feel a bit out of balance, and I would run the grittier low-end synths through a filter or two so as not to disturb the piano, which does not stand out much in expressiveness, though it's a nice motif with lots of potential.
II. The kalimba sounds nice, and it's certainly a more fitting texture for the motif than mere piano; I learned that on my work, as well. The second piece in general is superior to the first. The flute's timbre is immaculate, the kalimba's overtones add a dark texture which is just ineffable, and the pentatonic runs in the distance, while introducing the occasionally mismatched dissonance, nonetheless add atmosphere. Everything is mixed together well on this one.
III. Your electronic ambience is very honed on this one, and the chord changes are expressed very mysteriously. I would have loved to hear this one developed further.
IV. You really saved the Beast for Last with this one. I'll have to listen for a second time if a full accounting is to be made. Everything which you've introduced up until this point in terms of instrumentation and composition comes together in a wholly unpredictable manner which is ominous and sedative all at once. This is sophisticated.
Overall: It feels like hearing one composition, over and over again, through various different sonic lenses, as it matures from the acorn to the majestic oak tree. Four Stars in every category.

The mix was definitely rushed. Thank you for taking all this time to listen and comment! I have tried to make something organic and really imagined this immaculate new planet
These definitely captured the feeling of otherwordliness. I like the concept a lot! Great pieces. Exploration brings knowledge was my favorite, it reminded me a bit of Avatar: the Last Airbender. Thanks!
Thank you for your words!
A very interesting choice of instrumentation and style!
Thanksss
Great job, your compositions are super cool and well produced!
Thank you!
The first track makes me imagine the moment when the crew saw their new planet with their own eyes.
The second in the first steps on the ground.
The third in the dangers and mysteries of this new home.
The fourth in the establishment of the new civilization and the future of humanity.
You make me very happy since that is exactly the result I wanted to achieve!
i’ve really like this music ! Maybe just i think « exploration bring knowledge » have not enough variation compared to « saisei ». But GG ! Your soundtrack is great!
Thanks!
Very good and cool
Thanksss
It sounds great :)
Thank you!!
Very relaxing, love it!
Happy you feel relaxed 🛀 :)
That sounds really good. One of my fav !
Awwww....thanks a lot!
Really liked the quiet meditative melodies on this soundtrack and the gently energizing final track
The aim of the final track was the actual "regeneration". Thank you for your comment!
