Here's the penultimate part of the AUSPEX soundtrack.

As it seems we're still surfing on electronic waves, the only track involving an acoustic instrument is the third one, which features a Perseus Polaris steel tongue drum. This album is perhaps slightly softer and atmospheric compared to the previous month, but it conveys a similar vibe.

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.
