    The Dome Keeper OST will go down in history alongside legends like FTL and Risk of Rain. Fantastic job and can't wait to hear more.
    I love how Baertaffy cant help but mention how good the music is every time it comes on. This is going to be added to my regular rotation of study music. Alright now back to Physics for me :)

    "Further Underneath" and "Ode to iron" fit this game so well. It instills sadness of being lonely, as if you feel homesick for home, which is light years away, barely visible shimmering dot on an alien sky

    The gameplay is wonderful, I played the earlier demos before the graphic updates and I enjoyed it very much. But when the music started playing, the music really hits me differently. When I listen to music, the way that it flows and carries itself matters to how I feel about it, and the music from this game really really gets to me. I love the OST, I know I'm making it seem like a lot, and to me it is. I really like how the music was done, it stuck with me from the demos, and so did the gameplay. I really appreciate everything this game has offered, money well spent.

    The structuring, sound design and even some of the melodies lead me to believe you listen to Lorn :) the chord progressions in your melodies are burnt into my brain. Its not easy to get so much emotion out of a background sound track let alone one like this that leans towards ambient. Absolutely incredible work worthy of release on Warp or Ninja Tune.

      Thanks so much! I was definitely going for vibe over complexity with this soundtrack :)
      I'm a big fan of C418! I'm sure I was influenced by the Minecraft soundtrack subconsciously, as it's one of my favorites, but I wouldn't say it was a direct source of inspiration. And I've gotten a lot of comparisons to the Kingdom OST! I'd never heard it before starting work on Dome, but now that I have, I'm very happy for the comparison. Amos is great :D
      More direct influences would be Metroid soundtracks (I wanted to capture that isolation and mystery) and Boards of Canada.

    I'm sure you didn't master this because your work is very different from others on the bandamp site and your video of the track analysis, I'm sure someone helped you do this I hear a completely different sound I hear the sound of an analog

    What is the genre of music?

      Hmmm... I guess I'd probably say 'ambient electronica' or 'downtempo electronica'... something like that. If you're looking for similar music, check out the Kingdom game soundtracks :)
