The beach has its own calming soundtrack: ambient, water-inspired music that shifts as you explore. A nearby radio mech adds a touch of steampunk flair, and each upgrade transforms the original theme into a funkier new groove. Repair your mech, solve puzzles, clean up the shore, and rescue the giga-goats 🐐 in this short, single-player adventure.
This game was part of a week-long game jam competition and won 21st place overall.

The Symphonic Orchestral piece “Bavaria” was inspired among my travels to Germany, whilst composThis symphonic orchestral piece was inspired by my travels to Bavaria, mainly as an impressionist piece while following the Viennese classical style. The programmatic composition is based on the story of Romeo and Juliet, as a sort of Overture. This piece was originally a study of Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov’s compositions in mind, with my own interpretation. Composed: July 2023 Released: July 2024

'Apollonian and Dionysian' explores Nietzsche’s concepts through the relationship between the abstract and the beautiful, being and becoming, and creation and destruction. The Dionysian can be understood as an instinctive or emotional impulse that emerges when we dare to dream. This impulse is inherently contradictory, containing both pleasure and pain, desire and dissatisfaction, and is therefore constantly projected toward imagined possibilities. The Apollonian represents the actualisation of this dream: the moment the abstract is given form, structure, and beauty, producing a sense of warmth and reverence. Yet once a dream is realised, it becomes finite; the Apollonian state of being immediately gives way to a new Dionysian impulse to become. In this way, the two exist not as opposing states but as interconnected movements within a continuous cycle of dreaming, creation, actualisation, dissolution, and renewal, where every act of creation contains the potential for destruction, and every destruction opens the possibility of new creation.

The start is slightly cut off, apologies.  In complement to Harold J. Smith's review of Mallarmé's "Le Vierge, le vivace.." the song is about a swan caught in ice, yearning to be free. Symbolising the spiritual frustration, the composition imbues every bar with the elements of the swan, from the static and isolated piano to the lamenting soprano voice.
