Description
***
Your face is paler than snow. The light at the end of the tunnel is fading. There's nothing behind you. There are sharp spears at your sides.
...
It doesn't matter how you died. You're already dead.
...
The last thing you can do is try to recreate your favorite tunes in your head.
...
Yes, they've blended into a shapeless set of noises, but maybe you can savor the last few seconds before you go deaf forever.

First of all, is there a plot? An underlying plot? This set of music is not tied to any game idea, but I tried to give it a “game” sound.
Secondly: this is the most experimental release I've ever done. It's New Year's Eve (and in my country it's one of the most important holidays of the year). What can you expect? Well...
First of all - I used piano in every track (I usually use it very rarely)...
Then - I used a lot of synthesizers. A lot. A lot of synthesizers. Mostly free ones (And FLEX. I love FLEX).
The main unusual thing for me was Time signature. I decided not to use the standard 4/4 (With the exception of the third track). And I also tried to give each track a “broken” sound. (Except for the second one: in that one I “borrowed” a feature of jazz hats. Heh). This is felt most strongly, I think, on Metal Half.
Watch out! A lot of psychedelia!
In short - don't expect a single mood. Here the mood changes a lot during the track! (Except for the fourth one).
What was my goal for the project in the end? Well... I just wanted to make a set of a few diverse songs, using my favorite “broken” sound.
What did I want to do? I wanted to do something crazy in a short time. And I did something crazy in a short time.

If anyone is interested, here are the Time signatures I used in these tracks:
Intro to Form - 3/4
AFR Form - 12/8
Formed Glass - 4/4
Metal Half - 6/4
***
Another interesting fact: Virtually ALL tracks were made ~36 hours before the deadline. From scratch to final result

Have fun!
