Created over 5 years, the music in the game is generative, randomised, and infinite.
This OST takes just 21 of the 100+ pieces in the game, and turns them into traditional 'fixed' versions of the tracks.
The soundtrack reflects Amanita's marriage of beautiful hand-drawn artwork with technology, as well as the game's progression through time - a mix of genres including primitive hand-made instruments, an ambient baroque world with bells and choirs and organs, a Classical world filled with piano and strings, an electronic world pulsing with analog synths, and a futuristic noir underworld with moody bass clarinet..
