Here's the fifth part of the AUSPEX soundtrack. There are seven left.

It's made of four tracks for the weeks of May 6th to March 27th, 2024. At this point, I'm not even sure if it's only built with daily handpan loops or if it includes other experiments. Not that it matters, the juice keeps flowing as days blend into each other.

At the beginning of each week, I record a new loop with whatever I find inspiring at the moment. Usually, but not only, handpans and steel tongue drums. Then, every day of the week, I recycle this loop and add it to the ambient soundtrack of the game.

Each loop iteration becomes the music of a new level that I also create daily, built upon the previous one. All loops are set up in chronological order to compose weekly tracks, with a few additional effects and tweaks.

Think of it as a kind of abstract musical diary, with mangled lo-fi samples and drones, occasional ambient sounds, and an absurdly Sisyphean atmosphere.
