I made the mistake of coming into this project expecting a few songs and judging their qualia and writing a few notes. What I got instead was one of the more avant-garde art pieces ive seen in a hot second.
I experienced this entry from the accompanying movie. (Which I recommend putting up on a 2nd monitor and watching passively. It moves at the pace of the music, which is not very fast)
This entire project was a little difficult to follow. There were creative decisions made here that dont make much sense on a surface level, but when seeing the visuals makes a really interesting whole. This is a lot less of a Game OST and more of a choose your adventure game built into audio that reads much like someone attempting to interpret the plot of a dark souls game without a guide.
No stone is left unturned here. This Set of songs goes from slow melodies to haunting vocals, house/world hybrid beats, synth plucks, straight up dance music, and then back to soft strings. Layers of rhythms in syncopated messes still manage to keep you anchored onto something even for the extended run time.
I'm really impressed with how much effort went into this whole project. Significantly longer than most and with accompanying media.
I am glad to say I went all the way through it. Certainly an experience.
A big congratulations to the team behind this for leaving an impression I can't forget any time soon.
