From the soon-to-be-hit Indie 2D web game 'Pac-Mimic'
Imagine you're a medieval knight in a brigade from the British Isles, storming a castle. You all find a secret passage into a new corridor and see treasure chests scattered everywhere! Within minutes, gold and trinkets are filling your pockets as you reach down to open another chest. Suddenly, a pair of bright and eager eyes open from within the wood. The chest transforms and grows sharp teeth and a gaping maw, ready to swallow you whole. Beware the Pac-Mimic Chests of legend.

This OST was obviously inspired by traditional Irish and Scottish music, with some liberties of my own taken. The track resembles an Irish slide, which is a lively tune in 12/8 time. 

All violin tracks recorded and mixed by Jackson Bailey (Lucifern).
