the silence, the darkness, the simplicity, this landscape in central Sweden has a very special charm: that's what I wanted to express with this track

This is my personal rescore of the “cryo chamber” scene from Alien: Earth.
While the original soundtrack by Jeff Russo takes a bold, front-and-center approach, I wanted to explore a different sonic direction — one that leans into subtle synth pads, atmospheric textures, and a slow-burning sense of unease.
The goal was to create an ominous, ambient mood that lets the visuals breathe while adding an undercurrent of tension. This is not an attempt to “fix” the scene, but rather to reimagine it through a different musical lens.
Headphones are recommended for full immersion.
