Description
I have no idea what the genre is for this, but I do know that the game would be an adventure platformer of sorts...

What each song represents in-game is in the project page, I dunno if it's against the rules to tell you that it's all there... I'm not too aware of these things >:

The main thing that I used in the OST was my guitar, which I sometimes used as a bass too. Most of the time, the bass was a sequenced one-shot sample, since... Well, uh, I don't have a real bass. The guitar is passable as one, though.

Sometimes I like to make weird pads and stuff out of my guitar as well (like in the last song !), and also organs (like in Canyon Song !)

Also ! At first I was going to use MuLab, but then I couldn't come up with anything... So I switched to the other DAW I main in hopes for better luck with inspiration. It worked !

One last thing, lemme know if I forget anything, because I'm submitting/writing this while I'm very tired...

Message from the artist:
cowboys learn about aliens: the soundtrack

Theme

Panspermia (Πανσπερμία)

How does it fit the theme?
While it is old west, it's more of a sci-fi old west involving possible aliens, and a whole lot of existential crises about what's out there, and if what's out there really took the main character's friends.

I really like the guitar as well as the different sound choices, it all has a nice apocalyptic tone

You're great guitarist :) I can definitely hear this western vibe. It's also a bit...mysterious and scary? Good job!
