Kaidan 怪談

by Goryō

MarsDragoner Vague and threatening, like in an old dungeon crawler RPG but not quite. The sense of anticipation is palpable throughout the entire experience. It's like taking part in a nocturnal ritual of unknown origin, with an unforeseen conclusion. The composition and atmosphere which elevate this album are really simplistic and through these means quite foreboding. Favorite track: Dark clouds 暗雲低迷.

Aradaan I can't wait for your upcoming works.

I could totally see you creating soundtracks for asian themed parts of new VTMB games.

karmafish Another fantastic output by Goryō. Ritualistic ambience filled with folk ingredients and an exceptional minimal orchestration. \m/ Favorite track: Dark clouds 暗雲低迷.

about

The new moon sits behind a veil of dark clouds, shadows dancing behind them. A bad omen. My days are plagued with fear, and my nights restless. Under the light of the last moon, I saw my sister's face beneath the surface of the village pond - bloodied, twisted, bloated. Was this but the tides of moon, or was this something else? The void of her absence looms in this town.

Her widower lives on unphased, as if he has moved on. He tells me that she visits his dreams, and claims that she is now at peace. I am not convinced, but I cannot bring myself to look upon that pond, in fear of discovering the truth...
