Really love the minimalist approach, not just with the instrumentation but the subtle variations in your lead lines and background tracks.

Description
Electronic. First three tracks are mostly ambient. Last track is a pretty hard hitting breakbeat tune. :)
P.S. You can find the DSP effects that I used here: https://github.com/JoepVanlier/JSFX (free). Yutani is my bread and butter synth, other than that I made ample use of LavaVerb.
If you're a REAPER user, the tracker I used for the last track can be found here: https://github.com/JoepVanlier/Hackey-Trackey (also free).
On the last track, drums were first sequenced using Drummica (also free, but not sure if still available), then I crushed/resampled them and loaded them in the tracker to bash them around some more like a crazy person.
Message from the artist:
Hi.
How does it fit the theme?
Tried to come up with a cyberpunkey story in my mind and just wrote a few tunes to it. Imagined something more on the grittier dystopian side of things (deus ex / cbp2077 / bladerunner).
Opening theme: Learning the truth
You always thought the visual noise you experience was normal.
Street ambience:
These streets can not be trusted. Especially at night. You know you're not supposed to be out here. Not alone. Not without explicit permission.
Hacking theme:
Time to find out what is going on and the only way you are going to find out is by jacking in. Going beyond where you are supposed to and finding that which has been locked away from you. Midway through the track you break the last of the locks and really see for the first time. Broken free, you now see what must be done... but ...
Dodging bullets:
Someone did detect your presence. Unfortunately, that means you must be terminated and it doesn't matter if it takes the whole building with it. This theme was written with a building collapsing around you in mind.
