A few tracks from the Original Soundtrack of the game Spiritfarer. 

For the complete album: https://maxll.bandcamp.com/album/spiritfarer-original-soundtrack

Spiritfarer is a project that’s very close to the heart for me and the talented team at Thunder Lotus Games. It’s a positive, colourful and serene adventure about life, grief and compassion, where you guide spirit friends to the afterlife after caring for them in their last moments. It's not only about saying goodbye to characters but reflecting on what they leave after they've gone. It hopes to help us better address and openly discuss the subject of death, a common reality we’re all faced with.

The times we are living through have made the experience of writing music for this project all the more meaningful and I feel like Spiritfarer couldn’t have come at a better moment. The connections and relationships we develop with our friends and families stay with us, we have to treasure them, be more compassionate as individuals and a society, and better learn to say goodbye when the time comes.

I traveled to Bolivia and Peru a few years ago and spent several weeks immersed in some of the most remote locations on earth.

I had bought a charango and a ronroco in La Paz which allowed me to write music along the way, inspired by what I was experiencing at the time.

Being in the wild at the mercy of the elements for so long, I was constantly reminded of how small we are and that nature in all its awe-inspiring beauty allows me to find peace like nothing else does. But I know it can also turn against us if we ignore it’s signals.

In these trying and isolating times we are living through, I hope this music will allow you to escape and travel in some small way!

All the countries I've seen, all the the people I've met, all the friends I've made, I'll probably never see them again. Is being a passerby a gift or a curse? Whichever it is, the sense freedom it brings will never be surpassed.

Departures

Original soundtrack from the video game Jotun, a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology. In Jotun, you play Thora, a Norse warrior who has died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods in order to enter Valhalla. 

The soundtrack highlights all the great moments of the game, from the atmospheric exploration levels to the epic boss battles. A musical journey that will take you through the five corners of Norse purgatory, leaving you with a sense of wonder, excitement, hardship and triumph.

Final Confrontation

Original score for the short film "Crowds" directed by Dan Sadgrove: 
https://vimeo.com/142914542

Filmed in breathtaking Wanaka, New Zealand, "Crowds" is an ode to nature, a statement about how the chaotic city life corrupts us and strays us away from nature and our true selves. "What is a crowd? A crowd is not us."

Splice

Original music written for the game Sundered by Thunder Lotus Games. 

Sundered is a horrifying fight for survival and sanity, a hand­-drawn epic from the ​creators of ​​Jotun. The soundtrack highlights all the great moments in Sundered, from the atmospheric and somber exploration moments to the insane epic boss battles. It's a daunting musical underscore that accompanies Eshe as she fights for her own sanity and faces the eldritch horrors of the ever-changing caverns of the world of Sundered.

Composed for the short film - To Live: The Yeonmi Park Story 

Download the track here: 
https://maxll.bandcamp.com/track/to-live

Yeonmi Park escaped from North Korea as a child to live her life free from the oppression of the country’s regime. This beautiful and touching animated short film tells her story and illustrates what Yeonmi had to go through when her family decided to risk everything in hope for a better life. Yeonmi’s story is one of extreme hardship but also survival and hope, I'm truly honoured to have had the chance to put into music such an amazing journey.

This album was inspired by reflections and memories from my time in Iran. 

All music composed by Max LL 

Featuring performances by Reza A., Ziya Tabassian, Bashir Faramarzi, Omar Abou Afach, Shahab Asgharzadeh & The Sofia Session Orchestra.

I'd like to thank all the amazing people that inspired me along my journey: Narges, Shahab, Reza, Nahid, Zoya, Arash, Parinaz, Parham, Sana, Maryam, Hamid, Nastaran, Keivan, Sally, Saughar & Amir, Nahid & Amin, Shiva, Zahra, Vahid, Amir, Eva, Klaus, Felix & Christina, Khayrina, Lalmo & Mona. 

Golestan (Persian: گلستان‎ Golestȃn "The Flower Garden", "Land of Flowers") 

The words that are spoken and sung throughout the album are from a nameless Hafez poem: 

"To me a rose-tinted cheek from flower garden of the world is enough;
From this meadow the shade of that flying cypress is enough; 

May I and the company of the deceitful folk be far! 
Of all earth's treasures a cup of wine to me is enough; 

The palace of paradise for good deeds is bestowed, 
To me, drunken and a beggar, the cloister of Magians is enough; 

Sit beside the brook and watch the passage of life, 
To me the image of passage of life to watch is enough; 

Look for the cash in this world and the pain, 
If these don't satisfy you, to me the profit and loss is enough; 

The darling is with me, why should I desire more? 
The pleasure of discourse with my dear darling is enough; 

For God's sake send me not to paradise from your door, 
For in this world the head of your street to me is enough; 

Hafiz! it is unfair to complain about the watery flow of fate, 
The nature like water, and moving gazelles to you is enough;"

This soundtrack was originally written for a short film about nurturing more sustainable agricultural practices for the benefit of our health and our environment.

I decided to make a little EP out of it.
