NEW SOUNDTRACK RELEASE!
Welcome to Crestfall, traveler. Beyond the gates lies a vast place of tremendous wonder. But be wary of the shadows...
This soundtrack includes 10 tracks, inspired by the likes of Gothic, Zelda, Vagrant Story, TES and the Dark Souls series.
All tracks come in both loop and standalone format, 55:28 minutes of audio provided!
I'm really happy with this one and I'm thrilled to share it with you, so I'm marking it's release with a 50% SALE on everything
in my store, including Crestfall!

It's Monday, so that means it's Midnight Mode time!
This one (no.17!) is fresh out of the oven, as I have quite a few things to work on and this track was a fun little break between commissions!
"Ah, Ver Dan... Its soothing waterfalls, its calm atmosphere and the singing of birds I have not seen before nor after.
And the Elven craftsmanship of its golden gates!
But it is the dim lit harbours that my soul is drawn to, as if the waves of the ocean call my name and bind me to a place that exists far away.
Ah, to see it once more..."
I can't believe we're already at week 19!
Just one more to go and I'll release another free Midnight Mode compilation :)
This time I revisited my childhood and tried to do a little tribute to something that got me hooked on video games and video game music in the first place!
Of course that thing was Ocarina of Time and it's wonderful music; I specially enjoyed the Water Temple and Shadow Temple themes... Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed making it :)
It's been another 10 weeks and this is the last Midnight Mode of the set, rounding up the MM Volume II compilation!
I'll release Volume II by the end of the week and it will be absolutely FREE, just like the first one 😉
Thanks for sticking around for another round 💙
in the mean time, enjoy "Aquarium After Hours", a PS2/Dreamcast inspired aqua-lobby ambiance 🐬
NEW RELEASE!
Another 10 weeks have passed, so here's another batch of tracks; MIDNIGHT MODE Volume 2.
I have fond memories of the old PSX/PC demo disc days, so this is an Arno Cyreus demo disc, if you will :D
That also means, it's ABSOLUTELY FREE!
Midnight Mode continues on Monday, thanks for tuning in 👾

Midnight Mode #22
I woke up today with a strong urge to make something with less bits than usual 👾 After an unhealthy dose of morning coffee and messing around with sounds, I came up with "Type 8B"! It's an 8bit racing title, focused on night time street racing. I guess I'm showing my age a bit, because I channeled all my memories of playing Street Rod 2 a long time ago! 😂

New release day! 💿
I'm really happy to release "SkyPort Island" today :)
This is a PSX/N64 inspired soundtrack, featuring 6 loops that go for that classic adventure and RPG sound.
Villages, towns, stores and checkpoints; it's all here!
Available in my store
Midnight Mode #24
All Midnight Mode episodes are usually written and produced on the day of release; That's a big part of the challenge and while I might have an idea in my head, it's all done in the moment!
However, this week is a bit different as I had this piece written and mostly done, it just needed some touching up and a bit of production polish :)
The track was written for a project that sadly won't be happening and I really like it, so I thought I'd take the chance to share it with you and of course make it available for free once the Midnight Mode Vol.3 drops!
Although if you really like it (or any other track from the past episodes) and want to use it, drop me an email ;) arnocyreus@gmail.com
My love for System Shock and the original Deus Ex shines through this one once again!
Midnight Mode number 25!
We're halfway to releasing Volume 3, time flies so fast it's crazy :D
Today I came up with another y2k arena/tournament shooter inspired track, I can't count the number of hours I spent playing "Facing Worlds" with my friends back in the day! So... Let's get to it!
These Midnight Mode tracks get released for FREE every 10 weeks. But if you'd like to use any of the tracks (also for free) before the compilation drops, drop me an email at arnocyreus@gmail.com and I'd be happy to share it with you early!
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for the next track, I'd be happy to oblige as well; It has to be night/dark related but everything else is up to you ;)
Another Monday, another Midnight Mode!
Welcome to another fictional PSX soundtrack, this time we're exploring the action packed level one of a Mecha game for the PlayStation. This is only level 1, so gear up on ammo and health packs because things are going to get hot!
I think this one might be a good start for Sequence 3...
As always, If you'd like to use this one (or any other Midnight Mode tracks) for your game, just hit me up :)
MIDNIGHT MODE #29
Time to replenish your vigor and vitality, traveler. Save your progress and enjoy a moment of warmth at the hearth of Wayfarer Inn.
Tis nothing but treacherous mountains and strange happenings beyond the city walls, specially at night...
Just one more to go until Midnight Mode 3 drops, what would you like to see for the last one?
Here's the final episode of Midnight Mode volume 3! This "American Truck Simulator meets Silent Hill" track was written for a Halloween themed compilation, featuring one of my favorite looking trucks - the awesome Pete 351!
While it wasn't written specifically for Midnight Mode, I reckoned it fits the theme and makes for a cool closure to MM volume 3.
Thank you once again for tuning in, you are the best!
Midnight Mode volume 3 is out!
Here's the third batch of tracks from my Midnight Mode challenge, where I write a night themed track
every Monday and then release the soundtrack as a free asset pack :)
Feel free to grab the soundtrack here and use it in any way you see fit!
Midnight Mode 3
This is the last episode of Midnight Mode for 2025, so I'd like to take this moment to thank YOU ALL for the great support!
I met a lot of great people through this platform and even had the pleasure to work on some really cool projects.
Enjoy your Holidays and a Happy New Year to all; Midnight Mode will return in 2026!
+++Outrider's Oath out now!+++
Take the oath and venture into a dark fantasy world, straight from an 80s VHS!

Working on a SEGA Mega-CD inspired soundtrack, so here's a snippet from the album :D
I usually just indulge in making fake soundtracks for games that don't exist,
but I went full on this time and made a fake game in Gdevelop as well 
All credits for the pixel art go to the awesome Ansimuz!
More dungeon sounds coming soon as well...
+++LORDRAN TAPES+++
New FREE soundtrack available!
The inspiration for this one is quite obvious, so enjoy the quest and please don't go hollow...
5 tracks in both full and loop format, 32:29 minutes of audio included :)
