FreezeFramesPerSecond #2: Retro Roots

"Faruna Selia" is an emotional, mystical ballad inspired by the soundtrack of the Nier video game series—especially from Nier: Automata.
The music blends gentle folk elements with atmospheric sounds, featuring expressive female vocals sung in an invented, fantasy-like language reminiscent of the Nier universe.

Faruna Selia | Nier Automata Inspired Music

As 2B and 9S explore more of Nier Automata's desolate world, we find new ways that robots try to imitate humanity and speculate about what it all means.

Enjoy the show!
