///04 Soundtracks (2016-2019)

Not much to say on these because they kinda speak for themselves. I wanted to write something like a PS2-era Silent Hill track, so I did and found an excuse to put it in a video. The next one is a direct play on an Azumanga Daioh gag. After that was the 2000's R&B track for the Ookumo-chan Flashback video. As I recall I just kinda wanted to write something in that style, a running thread for sure. Writing songs for video is a great excuse to sorta fulfill part of what commissions were good for. I have a pretty consistent "stylе" or ethos or whatever for "corе" songs of mine, so to speak, and I don't really want to have to commit to writing fully fledged songs that adhere to anything else just in order to find something worth releasing. Following that was a song I wrote for my video on Serial Experiments Lain. I wrote this because that song has like, two music tracks in total, and figured another song that aesthetically fit with it would probably be good to have around. The orgel is a sort of loose thematic thread in that game, so it felt right. I think I mentioned it in the video this next one appears in, but Daughters of Darkness has this insane, smoked out, feverish funk OST, and I wanted to see how close I could get to that style. Turns out I did okay cus a lot of folks in the comments didn't realize I wrote it. These last two tracks were just kinda written because I was playing around with my digital audio workspace while I took a break from videos at the end of 2021. I thought the ubiquity of Gymnopedie no.1 in game OSTs is really funny, so I wanted to try my hand at it, treating it as a sort of faux-right of passage, despite it not even being for a game. The next one was me finding a synth pad I liked the sound of in a sample pack and just kinda going on impulse from there. It was written in one sitting, and it definitely kinda sounds like that, but I don't foresee it getting put anywhere else, and I like it, so here it is. Even if it sounds like a bootleg version of the Zora's Lake theme from Ocarina of TIme. Next up are those game soundtracks
