“Still Standing” is a heavy, rhythm-driven rock piece built on powerful riffs and a solo line that takes the place of a voice. This track is dedicated to everyone who keeps going — whether in war, in hardship, or in the quiet battles of everyday life. March to the beat. You are still standing.

Still Standing

A five-minute ambient journey into the unknown — a soundscape of distant stars, drifting stones, and vast silence. Carried by soft pads and haunting cello accents, this piece captures the feeling of standing at the edge of the world and gazing into endless mystery.

Into The Unknown

"Cure of Death — Original Soundtrack" is a collection of atmospheric and emotional tracks composed for the Ukrainian indie visual novel Curse of Death, developed by U4P Games Studio.
Released in 2025, this project marks my first collaboration as a composer for the team.

The music blends dark ambient textures, subtle horror motifs, and melancholic melodies to support the game's eerie storytelling and psychological depth. Each track reflects a different aspect of the mystery — from quiet unease to emotional catharsis.

I am truly grateful to the U4P team for giving me the chance to contribute to this haunting journey.

11. I am Valdar Gausse

Once, cities thrived here and fields were green.
Now, only the wind whispers among the ruins, and cracks in the asphalt lead into emptiness.
A wanderer walks on, each step an echo of the past.

Wandering Wasteland

The fog crawls over the ground, hiding the edges of the world.
A solitary figure wanders through the silence, breathing in the cold air and listening to their own footsteps.
This is the music of quiet solitude and calm reflection.

Loneliness in the fog

The Game Begins is an orchestral composition filled with tension and anticipation.
It sounds like the prologue to a grand story — the moment when everything is just about to begin: breath holds, silence breaks, and action steps onto the stage.
The track is created in the spirit of cinematic music, inspired by the atmosphere of video games and films, where every move and every glance can become the starting point of an entire adventure.

If you are looking for music to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of mystery and epicness — this is the melody for you.

The King of the Dead is not a ruler crowned with gold, but a shadow crowned with silence. His throne is not built of stone, but of moments lost to time, each grain of memory falling into his hands. He commands no armies of flesh, only legions of echoes — the whispers of those who once lived, loved, and vanished.

To be King of the Dead is not to conquer, but to embrace. He does not stand as an enemy, nor as a savior, but as a mirror — showing each soul what it truly is when all masks are gone. In his realm, all are equal. The strong and the weak, the rich and the poor — all carry the same gift: the end of the journey.

He is the keeper of silence, the guardian of forgotten words. Every cry, every unfinished song, every heartbeat that once existed lives within his cloak of shadows. His kingdom is not emptiness, but eternity — a place where nothing is ever truly lost.

To walk beside the King of the Dead is to let go of fear. Death is not his weapon, but his companion. And when the time comes, he does not demand — he simply whispers: “You have done all you could. Now come.”
