This is the second of the twelve albums from AUSPEX's experimental soundtrack. 

It covers the four weeks from February 5th to February 26th, 2024. The result is way shorter than the previous album, but possibly a bit more polished. My process is a tad smoother, and my handpan skills are slightly better. 

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.
