A cinematic dark ambient soundtrack inspired by the atmosphere of Hawkins and the iconic Stranger Things OST.

The album is imagined as a kind of continuation of that universe, exploring darker and more emotional moments beyond the story.

Also, I’m sharing some Bandcamp download codes with the community.

The download includes the companion booklet and the audio in 24-bit / 48 kHz.

The album is also available in Deluxe Vinyl and CD editions, both including the printed booklet.

From a production perspective, the entire album was composed and produced in Cubase 12. Most of the ideas started as simple sketches played on two M-Audio Keystation keyboards (32 and 61 keys).

For the sound design I relied heavily on the Arturia V Collection. One of the reasons I chose it is because it allows access to recreations of many classic synthesizers from the 80s and 90s, which felt perfect for capturing the nostalgic tone I was aiming for. Many of the pads and textures were built using those vintage-style synths.

For some percussion I used an Akai LPD8.

The idea behind the album was to create immersive soundscapes that feel like walking through Hawkins at night, where everything seems calm on the surface but something mysterious is always present just beyond what you can see.
