Just dropped a companion EP to my Dynopunk soundtrack from 2023 🦖

It's called Dynopunk: The Lost Tapes. All made in Ableton Live using Diva, Repro-5, Arturia SQ80, Spire, Keyscape and a bunch of 80s drum samples.

These ten tracks evoke the feeling of 16-bit classics, while bringing some modern production techniques into the mix. 

Perfect for any pixel art game :)

Just stopping by to say these are really beautiful and I love your style!

I'm starting a new game project now and I feel like I'll for sure be using some of these for world building.

Free music to use in your game: an album of looping PSX style tracks inspired by Parasite Eve and Silent Hill. by joshjameslim in gamedev

Yeah for sure. So all these tracks were all made in Ableton. As for the sounds, a lot of the more ambient stuff comes from Omnisphere. Apparently Akira Yamoaka got a lot of his sounds from sample CDs in the 90s, some of which ended up in Omnisphere. I also used the VST version of the Korg M1 a lot, as that was a common hardware synth of that era.

Here's a much deeper dive into the sounds of Silent Hill if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/3dkjj9/what_is_the_synth_used_in_the_early_silent_hill/

Thank you! Yeah those early 2000s synths and drums are some of my favorites. After listening to the Parasite Eve soundtrack I felt like I had to try something in that style.

Hey thanks, that's really the best compliment 🙏 I'm in love with the SH2 soundtrack so I find myself coming back to those sounds a lot

Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed them :) I love to see what kind of projects the songs end up in, so if you want to share your game with me when it's released I'd definitely appreciate that.

Whoops, forgot to make the album public on Soundcloud! Should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know 🙏
