There will always be a line dividing what you know from the unknown and mysterious. Some will be adventurous enough to dive into the abyss, with discoveries and danger around each corner. To those who stay behind, they are left with only their imagination of what might happen as they see their friend slowly fade into an indeterminate fate. This album was made for a video game project someone was working on. They decided to drop the project, and so I'm releasing it on my own. The game was about an 8-bit shark traveling throughout the different oceans, and so each song represents a different level players would have to beat. I didn't want the music to all have that "under water level" stereotype, so I had to get creative with it. Each song is as unique as each body of water and the surrounding ecosystem.

Through the ages, many ships have met an unfortunate end and sink to their new homes. Most have been lost to the ages. In this level, you play through a sunken pirate ship, with an ominous organ playing a sad tune of misfortune vibrating you to your core. Could it be Davey Jones himself?

If there's one famous spot everyone thinks of when asked about the ocean, it's the Great Barrier Reef. This track tries to portray a landscape teeming with life, the waves gently raising you up and down rhythmically as you snorkel past meter after meter of vibrant coral and flashy fish.

Deep at the bottom of the ocean, where light cannot penetrate, you have to travel carefully lest you fall prey to any of the invisible predators looking for a bite to eat. This track is meant to be spooky and slightly disorienting, as I imagine any creature would feel if they found themselves in that situation.

Turtles are the masters of hiding, as their lives depend on it. This level and track was somewhat connected to the "Surrounded by Water, Dying of Thirst" level, where the turtles had a secret hideout. It is supposed to feel as if everyone is always looking over their shoulders for possible danger, yet somehow staying calm and collected on the outside.

Sadly, many countries dump waste from various factories into the ocean. This creates a toxic environment where, if comics are to be believed, odd mutant creatures are born. That is the setting for this track, and I tried to capture the feel of mystery and disgust an area like that must bring. This album was made for a video game project someone was working on.

This would have been the second mini-game, and was supposed to be a pac-man like game where you try to collect objects while avoiding jellyfish that are trying to sting you.

Similar to "Swaying in the Current," this track takes place in a calm part of the ocean. This level would have been in a tropical climate, with clear waters, calm waves, and beautiful landscapes and creatures. As such, I tried to capture the feeling of everything being slow, at peace, with almost no sense of time as hours quickly pass. This album was made for a video game project someone was working on.

While there is a lot of life in the ocean, sometimes you come across parts void of life. This track captures that sentiment as an "ocean desert."

While not part of the main game, this track was meant to be part of a mini-game extra where you play as a crab. I wasn't given much more information besides that and that the creator wanted something that sounded like an old arcade game, and this is what I came up with.

The level for this track was in a thick forest of kelp, and when I thought of what that would look like I came to the conclusion that it would look very appealing and would cause any onlooker to want to stay and relax as long as possible.

The first track I finished for the album, this track was for a short timed event in the game, so I wanted it to have a sense of urgency. I also wanted it to be light-hearted, and as I was searching for inspiration, I found myself very influenced by the bossa nova genre.

I've been thinking of space a lot for the last couple of 2 Hour Album Challenges. Here's a song that supposed to convey the feeling of being blinded by the light of a nearby star reflecting off of an object looming in front of you while being overtaken by the shadow it casts on you. The 2 Hour Album Challenge (2HAC) is a community quarterly challenge to write an album together with each track being made in 2 hours time. The theme for this volume was Black and White. If you would like to learn more about, or join into the 2HAC, visit 2hac.abstractionmusic.com . If you would like to check out previous volumes, visit 2hac.bandcamp.com . All albums are pay what you want, with any money spent donated to an animal shelter in the host's local area.

I made this song to thank a Twitch subscriber and friend for his subscription after I made affiliate. I asked him what kind of song he would like, and he said 8-bit reggae. With him in the chat giving suggestions, I made this beach level video game loop.

This song was made for the 2 Hour Album Challenge (2HAC), a community quarterly challenge to write an album together with each track being made in 2 hours time.

This song was made for the 21 Days of VGM challenge. This particular day's challenge was to write a track for a mock game cutscene (down below). In the prompt there are two characters. I wanted the melody to mimic a conversation (again, explained below), so I used the flute to represent the girl, and trombone to represent the boy. It was a wintertime scene, so I couldn't resist putting sleigh bells in. Only quietly; just like the night would have been in the scene. In this hypothetical game, there is a scripted cutscene showing a flashback of our protagonist and their love interest as children. The two children are meeting up at a solitary lamp post - their usual meeting spot - just after nightfall to enjoy the beauty of the first snowfall of the year. They've been doing this for years, are both bundled up, but the conversation is much more sentimental than usual.

This song was made for 21 Days of VGM challenge back in January of 2019. Posted almost a year later to YouTube. At the time I wrote it, I didn't think it was finished, but after going through a lot of my other days songs recently I found this one and thought it was just where it needed to be. The day's challenge was to write in an odd time signature, so I took a 8/8 time signature broken into a 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2 pattern. I think the song would fit well in a RPG store, hence the name.

A track I put together that gives a feeling of unrest and uncertainty. Dissonant notes and harmonies, eerie percussion, and long periods of silence work together, making you feel like you're lost in the woods, or maybe the basement of an old mental hospital, and you're not sure if you're the only one there.
