It should be no surprise that I’m the kind of dork who loves the musical genre of dungeon synth. Really I love all kinds of music, but the overall tone and sound of most dungeon synth gels together for me to be a nice bit of ambiance to put on low volume in the background of a game, if everyone likes playing with music.
I recently stumbled on this album by lookfar, which seems to be the dungeon synth project name for Louie Zong, a really talented person.
This is becoming one of my favorite albums to put on while doing game prep, hacking system docs, typing up campaign ideas or reading fantasy books.
I’m not really a music critic but I love the specific effects that Louie has chosen, to me it really gives the music an otherworldly feel, and I really love the guitar work on songs like the Far Reaches to accompany the synth work.
