Jazz Noir I Found

Artefacts is a deep exploration of humanity’s imprint in a D flat phrygian dominant echoes of lost cultures, forgotten dreams, and timeless truths. It weaves together fragments of memory and meaning, blurring the line between ancient ritual and modern reflection. Each element is deliberate, each silence sacred. More than music, it's a meditation on what endures when all else fades.

Artefacts

submission for OST Composing Jam #8 hosted by lonerabbit for Itch.IO September 2025

Vaguely this game is kind of a black and white or sepia tone visual novel of a 1940's style neo noir where a wife has sabotaged her husband's yacht to blow up but her guilty conscience keeps having her coming back to the pier like some Lady MacBeth type reaction she doesn't hide it very well but nobody has reason to suspect her except her husband through adventures on the sea survives and at the finale they finally arrest her.

Age & Treachery - Knots Of Deceit

Age & Treachery - Squall's Serenade

Age & Treachery - Back From The Brine

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
