This is the eighth part of the AUSPEX soundtrack, meaning the two thirds of this musical project are now done.

These four tracks illustrate the weeks of August 5th to August 26th, 2024. The formula is the same as always, but we get a little more variations, especially with the second track, which is built around a harmonica loop, and a few more rhythmic parts.

It also seems that loops are getting longer, possibly as an answer to days getting shorter.

//////////

At the beginning of each week, I record a new loop with whatever I find inspiring at the moment. Usually, but not only, handpans and steel tongue drums. Then, every day of the week, I recycle this loop and add it to the ambient soundtrack of the game.

Each loop iteration becomes the music of a new level that I also create daily, built upon the previous one. All loops are set up in chronological order to compose weekly tracks, with a few additional effects and tweaks.

Think of it as a kind of abstract musical diary, with mangled lo-fi samples and drones, occasional ambient sounds, and an absurdly Sisyphean atmosphere.

Maker of sounds, games, pictures, and various other digital experiments.
