Greetings, Tarnished! It has been some while since From Software's masterpiece Elden Ring was released. As a musician, particular attention was also given to the incredibly epic and beautiful game's soundtrack that blends in perfectly with the dark and nightmarish atmosphere of so-called souls-like games. Even though I will never reach the level of Tsukasa Saitoh, Shoi Miyazawa, Yoshimi Kudō or Yuka Kitamura, I tried my best to create a soundtrack that not only reflects the game's mysterious setting and heroic atmosphere but also tells the story of Ranni The Witch and her plans to establish a new order. Spoilers ahead!

The Age of the Stars (Fan - Made 'Elden Ring' Soundtrack)

A braindance, commonly abbreviated to BD, allows the viewer to relive someone else's memory with all the senses, including emotions. Braindances enjoy wide use in the Cyberbass world. They are most commonly used for entertainment, but they are also heavily used in psychological treatment.

BRAINDANCE

Hey, you! You look lonely. We can fix that. You look like a good listener. Why YOU should get JOI today: 

Joi generally appears as a flawlessly beautiful petite young woman. The specifics of her features, such as eye color, hair color, and wardrobe are customizable. She has a variety of vocal intonations and can adopt accents. She is a holographic projection and requires some kind of projecting device to manifest to the viewer/user, whether it be a ceiling-mounted projector for a single room, a building-scale advertising projector or a portable "Emanator" device that allows Joi to travel with her user.

Joi's hardware is able to extensively sense the environment she is in and translates that information into data for the artificial intelligence to experience life along with the user. 

Joi's primary role is to communicate with other entities, human, replicant or otherwise, in a manner representing the user's partner, mate or companion. She records data memories as she ran, allowing her personality to change over time.

Disclaimer:
Joi's program and memories reside on the main console, which for personal units is located in your home, as well as on portable Emanators or other linked devices. Joi hardware has the ability to utilize communications networks to contact other entities on its own initiative and can be used to monitor or track Joi users.

The music is loud, the drinks strong, and the patrons rowdy to an extreme. The local ambulance companies no longer make runs here, because too many of the casualties of this club couldn't pay their bills.

The most visible members of the Pack are the Scouts - leather-armored riders on bikes or in fast muscle cars, who protect the convoy from attacks and hunt up safe campsites. As a Scout, you're on the lookout for trouble, and you usually can find enough of it, with rival Nomad Packs, the Law, and the cowboys; you ride the hard trail. You've got a gun, a bike and that's all you need. You're a Nomad. A rebel.

REBELS

Johnny Silverhand, was a famous influential rockerboy and the lead singer of the band Samurai before its breakup in 2008. A military veteran who defined the rockerboy movement into what it is today, he was the most prominent figure that fought against the corrupted NUSA government and megacorporations, often being described as a terrorist.

REVOLUTION

In a world that has become hell for most people, what does heaven look like? Is there something like an afterlife, or has the concept been replaced by Mikoshi, where the psyches of selected people live on forever as constructs?

AFTERLIFE

The Tarnished will soon return. Guided by grace once lost. The Golden Order is broken to its core. They will fight. And they will die. In an unending curse. For how else is a champion, or a Lord to be born?

O locus ille, Beatus quondam nunc deminuit. Nos destinatae matribus, Nunc fiunt turpes. Ploravimus lacrimavimusque, Sed nemo nos consolatur. Aureum cui irascebaris?

"Dune 2" will be one of the biggest movies of the year for sure. Reason enough to contribute to the hype with a quite special song: Arrakis, a powerful, bass-driven and percussive Dubstep and Cinematic/Ethnic Music hybrid. As you can probably tell, I had tons of fun arranging this song, creating flows and playing with orchestral elements. I hope you enjoy my last summer release before things will get cooler and darker really soon...

MOD-99 is a vinyl record labeled as [REDACTED], featuring the album titled "Psychotropic Symphony." The album's anomalous properties manifest when it is played on any conventional turntable. Listeners who hear MOD-99 without proper psychological oversight experience profound alterations in their mental state, often leading to severe psychological trauma or complete insanity.

Psychotropic Symphony

PSYCHOTROPIC SYMPHONY

I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive.

EVENT HORIZON

"It's not like us... it's unlike us. I don't know what it wants, or if it wants, but it'll grow until it encompasses everything. Our bodies and our minds will be fragmented into their smallest parts until not one part remains... Annihilation.

The effect of this cannot be understood without being there. The beauty of it cannot be understood, either, and when you see beauty in desolation it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you."

THE SHIMMER

SCP-ISOLATION poses a significant threat to mental and emotional well-being. The nature of the void suggests an influence capable of distorting reality and inducing profound psychological distress. Further research is recommended to understand the origin, purpose, and containment protocols for SCP-ISOLATION. The potential for long-term effects on expedition members necessitates ongoing monitoring and psychological support.

ISOLATION

What touched this place cannot be quantified or understood by human science. It was just a colour out of space — a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all nature as we know it; from realms whose mere existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the black extra-cosmic gulfs it throws open before our frenzied eyes.

THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE

Summary: On [Redacted], a containment breach occurred at Site-11, an underground facility operated by the Foundation. The breach resulted in the escape of an anomalous entity designated SCP-[ACCESS DENIED], which unleashed a series of mutations upon the surrounding rural town of Vecheldeburgh. This report documents the investigation and containment efforts undertaken by Mobile Task Force Omega-9 ("Nightmare Catchers").

CONTAINMENT BREACH

In the shadowy corners of Japan's folklore lurk the Yurei, ghostly apparitions steeped in sorrow and vengeance. Born from tragic deaths, unfulfilled desires, or profound injustices, these spectral entities drift between the realms of the living and the dead, their ethereal presence haunting the land with an eerie and malevolent energy.

YUREI

James Sunderland’s life descends into darkness when he receives a letter from his deceased wife, Mary, beckoning him to the mysterious and fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill. Driven by grief and confusion, James ventures into this desolate place, hoping against all odds to find her.

Silent Hill is no ordinary town. It is a place where nightmares manifest, and the boundaries between reality and madness blur. As James explores the abandoned streets and forsaken buildings, he encounters grotesque creatures and haunted souls, each a reflection of his own inner torment. The town’s eerie fog and oppressive atmosphere conceal more than just physical horrors; they hide the fragments of James’s shattered psyche and the buried secrets of his past.

GUILT

One night, in a moment of clarity, John tried to flee. He stumbled through the rain-soaked streets, seeking refuge in the familiar. But no matter how far he ran, her voice echoed in his mind, drawing him back to her. Exhausted and broken, he found himself once more at her door, the last vestiges of his will crumbling.

She who shall not be named welcomed him with open arms, her smile a cruel mockery of affection. As she held him, he felt his life force ebbing away, drained by her insatiable thirst. He was nothing more than a hollow shell, his spirit consumed by the entity that wore the guise of a beautiful woman.

In the end, John joined the ranks of the forsaken, those who had fallen under the cruel temptress's spell and paid the ultimate price. His story became another whisper in the city's lore, a cautionary tale of a malignant entity that fed on the souls of the vulnerable, leaving behind only emptiness and despair.

MALIGNANT

I believe I have made a significant find in the Kandarian ruins, a volume of ancient Sumarian burial practices and funerary incantations. It is entitled "Naturum De Montum", roughly translated: Book of the Dead. The book is bound in human flesh and inked in human blood. It deals with demons and demon resurrection and those forces which roam the forest and dark bowers of Man's domain. The first few pages warn that these enduring creatures may lie dormant but are never truly dead. They may be recalled to active life through the incantations presented in this book. It is through the recitation of these passages that the demons are given license to possess the living.

EVIL DEAD

It hangs above you, utterly silent, wordlessly reminding you of your plight. You are immobile and completely at this thing's mercy once again.

Its head is indistinct, more a blur within the shadows, only the barest suggestion of a face. It looks at you pitilessly, mocking your weakness with its baleful eyes, ready to once more reach into your psyche. Ready once more to pluck out your inner child, squealing and pissing itself in terror as this thing shows you your every failure, every humiliation. To torment you until you awake, your body covered in cold sweat, with stained pillow and stained underwear.

You can feel the creature smiling...

NIGHTMARES

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

LULLABY FOR AZATHOTH

With a swift plunge, the blade bit into his chest, and his blood poured out in thick rivulets, pooling into shallow grooves carved into the altar. The witches chanted louder, their voices blending into a cacophony that seemed to stretch beyond the grove, their words rippling through the night like a physical force. The blood spilled down the altar, seeping into the earth with a disturbing eagerness. From the shadows, something seemed to stir, the air thickening with a malevolent presence.


BLACK SABBATH

“Why fear the dark?” she softly purred,
“Where shadows dance, beauty is stirred.
The pain you bear is no cruel jest,
It carves the depths where the soul finds rest.”

SOLACE

My take on the popular Noisia & Skrillex song!
"You're not going to be happy unless you're going Mach 2 with your hair on fire."

LYRICS:
Information making me question
Our relation to the nation
All religion, supersonic
My existence, you can't resist us
Clearly, I find myself living inside a shelf
All of these pages can't help
Got all my introspect, mirrors, they don't reflect
All of the things that we do
My exi-
(Supersonic)

SUPERSONIC

Surprise is an insubstantial blade, a sword worthless in war. It breaks when troops rally. It snaps when commanders hold the line. But fear never fades. Fear is a blade that sharpens with use. So let the enemy know we come. Let their fears defeat them as everything falls dark. As the world's sun sets... As the city is wreathed in its final night. Let ten thousand howls promise ten thousand claws. The Night Lords are coming.
And no soul that stands against us shall see another dawn.

DIE KRAFT AUS DEM INNEREN

The rain is light but steady, misting the pavement in a damp sheen. The fog clings low, curling around the streetlights like ghostly fingers. It’s 4 a.m., the only time of day that feels real anymore. The city is asleep, but he is awake. He is always awake.

Daniel walks the same route every night - down the empty boulevard, past the boarded-up diner, through the skeletal remains of a park that no longer feels like a place for the living. It used to be different. They used to walk this city together, hand in hand, before the sickness took her.

MOD99 - 4 A.M. WALK

This was our metamorphosis.

We remembered what it meant to be human. Not machines for money. Not avatars for ads. But wild, curious, imperfect creatures who sing simply because we can.

And in that remembering, we were reborn.

Color returned to the world.

And for the first time in a long time, it felt like home.
