I had a CD-Rom version of Eyewitness as a kid which was actually set in a geology museum, and this album/artwork is AMAZINGLY nostalgic for that atmosphere!
@@LARKXHIN The definitive source is @TheDungeonSynthArchives Major highlights would include: Fief - ii ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DffQVP6UqVQ.html Tales Under the Oak- The Swamp Kingdom ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sqa7sQxlrAA.html & The Toad King ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dI7tjPGEz7U.html Ziggurath - Tales from the Southern Kingdoms ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tjvQSTEnShc.html Hole Dweller - Flies the Coop ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W7HQBN2SOsw.html & Bellkeeper (another project from the same guy who does Hole Dweller)- The First Flame of Lordran ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J7MR9y-UEYc.html But there's soooooo much amazing content with all sorts of niches and differences. Of the above, Hole Dweller and Tales From Under the Oak both use some sort of diagetic sounds which I love but aren't for everyone. The most recent TFUtO album has straight up narration which I'm split on. Ziggurath has a distinct desert vibe unlike the rest on this list, and likewise others will have their thematic focii, like "dark" or "cave" styles.
I heard that Mineral Hall was supposed to be a bonus dungeon in the Boss Rush game, but that it's non-Euclidean geometry took up too much memory and the devs had to cut it in the end.
Now I'm thinking of a backrooms-esque, neverending, starkly lit, marble hallway filled with gems that have been there before time began. You're very good at making these frozen moments that have their own time and space about them. Congrats as always.
The trophy hall of the ascended god who was a humble geologist that by sheer luck and determination ended ascending to godhood later to realize they could keep exploring the caves and storing its valuable finds on its own pocket dimension
I've listened to this like... 8 times since it was posted. Tourmaline Theme stirs up something deep within me every time I listen to it - all of the tracks do, actually - so otherworldly.
Louie this is perhaps the most immersive album I've every heard in my life. Listening to each song makes me feel like I'm in a different world or like an old video that doesn't exist I swear to God
This makes me wanna build a small DnD adventure for this background music. Like, some otherworldy gem-cave with crystalline beings, all very sparkly and turquoise and stuff. Really cool vibe
i was listenin to the other lookfar albums while doing some homework and didnt even notice this dropped. guess i know what im listenin too for homework tomorrow
Every time a new Lookfar album happens, it is always the best part of that day. This world, whatever it is, is SO intriguing. Thank you for the fantastic music, Louie!
Hello, Louie! I really liked your KK Slider songs, and I was wondering if you could turn some of KK Slider's songs from the games into real songs in your style. KK Cruisin and KK Disco are both so good and I feel like you could make some fantastic music with them, like you did with your Pokemon Surf album.
HEY LOUIE? I'M RUNNING A D&D CAMPAIGN IN SPACE BASED AROUND GEM PEOPLE, AND IVE BEEN USING BTEOTW FOR MUSIC. I *REALLY* APPRECIATE YOU EXPANDING MY PLAYLIST
So far this already sounds far more creative and original than the vast majority of dungeon synth I hear. Not sure who else would know about this, but it also reminds me of a bizarre early 90's computer game called Spelunx which I sometimes played during school computer class (I guess it was "educational"? XD)...
i was just chilling with this in the bg and then staurolite cross suddenly filled my heart with a feeling i dont know when or why or even if i felt it before. something finite and precious is the best way to describe it atm. if i could say with only certainty that some things are art, this would be one of those somethings.
