Your work doesn't only bring gaming nostalgia, but childhood and past memories along with it too. Well, at least for me is always this way. Listening to this old school inspired track, I was looking at the picture at the same time that I was reading "where did everyone go?" and it was like visiting memories from years ago, wondering where some friends and family from my past are these days and how they are doing since they aren't present in my life anymore. Your music will always bring such unique experiences for me. Thank you.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel the urge to catch up with people from long time gone, for no specific reason. They would probably be surprised if I actually did. In many cases it's not even possible though, technically speaking. In other cases it just doesn't seem adequate on a second thought. Then I wonder why we all get in our own way like that.
I'm getting powerful Dead Aim and Dino Crisis vibes. Proper desolate atmosphere with this, like part kitchen, part morgue. A bizarre mix, considering how Raccoon City became both. Truly love the cold vibes, and reminds me quite a bit of the first ever piece of music I heard of yours, A Tale of Blue and Silver. Absolute magic 🙂😊🥰
interesting this is in my recommended videos 25 minutes after its posted. nonetheless the picture itself is creepy, reminds me of the kitchen in the First resident evil when i first played it all the way back in like 1998?? so long ago, that creepy music and the message seen in the video here, hasnt been used in a long time.
I'm immediately taken to the basement kitchen of the Spencer Mansion here. The picture with the music and atmosphere feels more live-action RE than any of the movies. Thanks for this, old friend!
I've been listening to your new album (Selection 6) on Spotify while I write. Just wanted to stop by and thank you for making all this music. It is excellent writing fuel, and I've been writing horror since 2006. I've always listened to the RE and Silent Hill relaxing music, and I know I'll be listening to your stuff for the next 20 years. I will not stop writing. So nice that there's a small group of people out there in the world who love the ambient safe room music as much as I do. It's a world to escape into...
And another writer, that's awesome. Around 2006 I was still convinced being the only person on earth who was into this strange musical territory. What I did observe since is that it's a stable thing, attracting stable folks. Those who connected with RE1's Peace of Mind wouldn't let it go anymore. So I'm not surprised that you've been writing for decades and firmly believe you will continue for decades to come. Best wishes and see you around, inside the save room!
I haven't been listening to enough music to keep up but I hope you're doing well. This is excellent as your work as always been. I mainly came here because this is the only way I know to tell you, if you haven't, you HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO play Signalis. Of all the throwback RE/SH games, there's no doubt in my mind it's the best one.
Long time no see! But immediately clicked. Thanks for the recommendation, I actually haven't heard of Signalis and will definitely try it out. How is Road Fever coming along? Always good to see you.
@@SurvivalSpheres Signalis is a phenomenal piece of art that combines combines core elements of a lot of my favourite games (and yours) to result in something that feels unique. It's also German. My one personal problem comes from the use of pseudo-DDR imagery in a way that is really cool but completely un-nuanced. I think it goes over most people's heads but if you're German (or know a lot of people from the DDR) it won't. But the game is basically apolitical, so it's easy to ignore for the most part. Eh...Road Fever...I wish I had good news but something in version control went wrong and we lost most of the code. We tried to recreate it but for some reason it didn't work. I started making a 2D Victorian cyberpunk game instead, but as usual with me, it was a little ambitious and I haven't done much with that besides some initial prototyping and a lot of music (although, the music is some of my best work, so I can't say I regret it).
@@Gaff. Interesting backstory, also about the DDR assets. And sad to hear about Road Fever! I recall you were putting so much energy into details like footstep sounds or stucco ornaments/patters, I'm sure it would have turned out spendid! As regards that other game, any chance you released the music that you've created for that?
@@SurvivalSpheres The story for Signalis reminds me a lot of Nier: Automata (incredible game, highly recommended) crossed with Silent Hill and as a backdrop. The DDR stuff was visually really great, so I can't totally disagree with them using it. Yeah, I modelled the entire main area, so it really is a shame. Hoping I can go back to it someday. No, I haven't released that music but I plan to release it as an album of sorts. Maybe it will even get some people interested in working on it, which I really need for something that size. But the whole Victorian cyberpunk world and look I've crafted is in my humble opinion quite impressive, and I'm starting to consider doing several games in that universe. No idea how many of them will come to fruition, but if I do a smaller one to start, well, it's a, you know, a start. And what's more, I could easily do a RE-style game like that, though this time it would be a smaller one. Did I mention most of the graphics come from old paintings I rework?
Kitchens can be safe, unless you're in Tall Oaks in 2013. The backdrop here reminds me of a particular scene. Other than that, for a next starry night video I might pick this one!
It would be interesting to make an alternative version, which combines elements of the melody from Resident evil 1, with 3 and Code veronica, something like an ost Save room from Re 9 ❤
I've been listening to your work continuously for the past week and am very moved with all you've done. Can I ask whether you compose these in a DAW or with hardware? Many thanks
About 90% is composed and performed by hardware (oldschool keyboard & synthesizer). Software is used for refinements and post production only. My approach is outdated and impractical, but I really need to be away from computers in order to get creative. Thanks for listening!
@@SurvivalSpheres I prefer making music that way as well- only wish hardware synths weren't quite so expensive... Can I ask what keyboard/synth you're using? Understand what makes your work so compelling is not just the gear but more to do with the emotion, just curious. Thanks!
@@nicklbmack I never used expensive gear and I firmly believe that a good hardware that you can use for 10 years + could be less costly than an up-to-date music production environment with a PC in the center, high end soundcard, DAW, VST plugins, monitoring speakers, at least two big screens,... I don't use any of that. Just my hardware and some middle class headphones really. Main platform is the Yamaha MoxF6 and I fear the day when it stops working, because I don't know if there can ever be a replacement. Models that offer a real time sequencer and step recording are becoming a dying breed :-/
@@SurvivalSpheres Love that you're able to do so much with a fairly small setup. Thanks for sharing that info/perspective- looking forward to wherever the music takes me next :)

hey ma frend, last i night i the song "Intention" from Separate Ways was played in my dream, when i was asleep. Would be awesome to hear a relaxing version of it 👀
Yes, just a good handful or so, because it feels weird to upload an album with only 2 or 3 songs. So probably with the next upload, or the one after that, at the latest.
i've been noticing more & more people doing "alternate silent hill soundtrack" tracks, & now resident evil too.. i find it an interesting concept in itself. a lot of times, i think they do a better job than the actual "franchise" just trying to keep it alive to make money, that has lost all of it's original japaense team, & taken over by some lame american bros. (just see silent hill - shattered memories or resident evil - 5 & 6 for that..) i think this does a good job at capturing the bleakness only resident evil can convey, with it's still images of abandoned places people once loved, inhabited & thrived, to a couple poetic sentences of lost hope. that was only really in resident 1, 2, & 3, the resident evil remake for gamecube & 0... 5 & 6 were like (terribly done) action movies you just press "x" to forward. & code veronica was so campy, i basically just consider that one a "comedy," lol.
It was the era where you were rewarded for thoroughly examining your environment, and that reward was an insight into your alter ego's mind. Just a plain, generic comment, but fueling your imagination better than the most thrilling cutscene could. Good times... and lost times.
As if working in the kitchen wasn't already a big enough nightmare.
:-DDD
I just love how this music emotes this ethereal, haunting feeling leaving one to feel almost as though they are lost somewhere in a waking dream.
So you hear it, too :)
Whoa... this.. this unlocks an unexplainable feeling in me. Have I been here before?

The piano part is such a light clear through the rainy clouds.
“Looks like no one has opened the fridge for quite some time. It appears that the bread is in fine condition. Make a Jill sandwich?”
>Yes No
Priceless! I'll have one. Then go to the dining room to examine something, and masterfully pick a lock or two on the way.

@@SurvivalSpheres exactly! I guess this is part of life, inevitable and kinda bittersweet.
@@chromatic96 Yes :-/
Eerie winds and calming sounds. I love it.
The loneliest moment in someone's life is when you watch your entire world fall apart and all you can do is stare into space.
The soft piano in this is divine :3

So that was your first track, hah! Did you search for Dino Crisis or was it a coincidence?
@@SurvivalSpheres Coincidence, which in my mind, makes it all the more special 😉

So you went down on memory lane :) and unfortunately ended up in that terrible basement kitchen. It was 1996 already!
Absolutely gorgeously omg
I love the atmosphere in this piece. The kitchen was one of the most scary places in the Spencer mansion.
PLEASE Make a 10 hour version of this... it's too beautiful. Thank you so much for your work.
So far I refrain from uploading the same song twice, but I recommend youtube's loop function! (right click on video -> repeat)
@@SurvivalSpheres Ah, I've absolutely been using that! I just get thrown off when I hear the door sound again :P Thanks once again.
Man, what if a developer made a new Resident Evil that incorporated liminal horror.
I'm sure we'll see such kind of games eventually.
Yes back with another, cant get enough of these!! You're doing us a great service, thanks 😊.
I'm immediately taken to the basement kitchen of the Spencer Mansion here. The picture with the music and atmosphere feels more live-action RE than any of the movies. Thanks for this, old friend!
I love your stuff it's always a treat to see a new video pop up
Miss your 2017 type vibes, & it seems to be back wit this one!!
That means you're on board for quite some time! Thanks for staying.
PS: Listen to "When All Others Are Gone" from 2021, it's pretty similar to this one in terms of style.
There’s this beautiful calm that’s eerie yet so soothing in both melody and visual, it’s perfect ❤
A world away, just the same. Just so.
So glad I caught this before going to bed 😭awesome music as always man I hope all is well
Feels like the back rooms but safer
There are canned foods in the cupboards. Maybe we can stay here until everything is over.
Wow a release at 2am here for me. Just in time for bed to unwind with. Thank you.
Hell yeah same man

I've done the Separate Ways title screen some time ago, but maybe I will take on that other song as well. It's really cool, totally forgot about it.

Beautiful. When is vol. 4 coming to Bandcamp? Do you normally do a certain number of songs before you add it?
Yes, just a good handful or so, because it feels weird to upload an album with only 2 or 3 songs. So probably with the next upload, or the one after that, at the latest.

Do you plan to make a save game music for Resident Evil 1.5?, seeing the environment of the RPD, sewer, Factory and Laboratory
Yes, would certainly like to do that. I think I just need to find the right background image.
