Mars Attracts is now out in its beautiful 1.0 version! When I saw the movie as a kid, I had nightmares for weeks. And now, here we are, about 20 years later. A huge pleasure to compose music for this game. Thanks to @outliersocial.bsky.social for letting me do this! Check out the game now!
«Willow Sways Sideways» is the next single from «Welcome to Cherry Grove». I wanted to make something that feels nostalgic and welcoming, something that could portray the feeling of sitting under and tree and doing nothing. Releases Oct 9th! Art by @quilldood.bsky.social

«It feels good to be evil» 👽 What a ride it was to compose the soundtrack for «Mars Attracts». Here is a little snippet from the title theme. I wanted to give it a similar feel as the main titles from the movie, but also something that feels unique to the game itself.
