Description
Sinister Intent - A Visual Novel OST
Runtime ~4 minutes
Genre: Dark Synthwave/ Experimental
DAW: LMMS
Inspiration: The 80's cars, music, and style has always been one of my favorite aesthetics. So I wanted my music to share my passion using sounds from the era. I also like darker themes like psychological horrors and true crime, inspiring the sound and style of my music.
Tracks:
Murderous Night: Introduction to our killer with an unsettling lofi intro. Drops into a dark synthwave baseline and picks up energy. Features voice lines and sound effects like police sirens in order to set up the entire scene and feel to the tracks.
Warped Reality: Heavily distorted, grungy sounding track with multiple breaks in tempo and rhythm. The serial killer is experiencing a mental breakdown and split personality. Track is meant to be jarring and hard to understand simulating the characters emotions.
Escape Police: After several murders, the killer has finally been targeted by the police. Soundtrack is high octane and features a metal/guitar esque synth, to capture that chase feeling. The killer drives too recklessly and crashes. Ending notes mimic a heartbeat and goes flat, indicating the killer did not survive.
Born Again: With the killer dead, the only perspective left from him is the void. This is the final track with unsettling ambience and low energy. Soundtrack is a bit suspenseful, asking the question "What happens from here".
Message from the artist
Enjoy!
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Chosen Theme: "Inside My World"
My soundtrack follows the theme in a altered way. My soundtrack is from the perspective of a serial killer in the 80's and the tracks take you inside his world. With a combination of sound effects and vocal dialogue, I attempt to weave a narrative to make the listener truly feel like they are inside his world. Featuring uses of sound effects, dialogue, and synths, "Sinister Intent" is a dark, experimental OST.

Absolutely fit that retro synthwave vibes, and the use of the voice lines was really cool!!
Heh... I think you have one of the most interesting soundtracks of this jam! (I love when dialogues are embedded in a soundtrack like this, heh)A good vibe... horror syntwave? Cool!
Escape Police is My Favorite Track
(TIME TO RUN AWAY FROM THE COPS)this is really interesting! the use of sound design and voiceover is really unique and sells the story well, and i love the synthwave elements, really sells the 80s vibe. nice work <3
i could totally see this pairing well with a retro 80s crime drama type thing tbh, its really cool!
This was a nice listen. I like the use of dark synths, feels retro. The percussion and SFX are nice too, they're great at conveying what's going on thematically, and they add a nice groove to the tracks. The vocal work is also nice and unique. Great work!
Very cool and original take, loved the sythnwave chase track, would definitely get me amped up to die in a fiery death running from the police. Nicely done
Can definitely see this as a Hotline Miami/OTXO fan-game OST. Very unique!
Ripping 80s synths! This was a fun listen, your use of vocals was really unique. Overall your tracks had this cool vibe of synthwave mixed with Doom That I really enjoyed. Great work!
The dialogue in the music is a really cool approach and is super unique!
