so! i might have mentioned it quite a while back, but i was hired to do some composition/production work for the soundtrack of an indie game a friend of mine was making. it is, finally, finished and out in the world.
it's probably easiest if i just quote the description the director of the game/my friend Santo wrote up, so:
cybeRRRevolution (cyber-R-revolution) is an Indigenous Cyberpunk game about the consequences of imperialist war and how those who survived struggle for the future. An action-adventure game about talking with monsters, piloting godly mechas, and taking down bandits to secure a prosperous future for a nation in a post-war reality. Play as Sepsis, Rebel, or Barrett, each working toward a common goal of Recovery, Reconnection, and Rebuild.
While cybeRRRevolution exists in an alternate reality, it is closely based on Guarani customs and traditions, particularly of the communities that live throughout so-called Brazil and Paraguay, with physical locations also being inspired by the jungle, wetland, and arid Chaco regions.
i composed three songs for the game, one of which was included in the launch trailer, and you can see/hear that here.
youtube
you can buy the game on itch.io here. i've already been paid for my work but i do make a couple extra bucks if you also buy the soundtrack on bandcamp, which you can find here.

The theme colour isn't green, but purple. Fans speculate that it is because it is a mixture of P3 & P5 in tone. Haters think it's because the devs are trying to be unpredictable.
Reality: it is because the director really wanted a raggae soundtrack without the game being associated with weed.
I love and appreciate game soundtracks but there’s not a lot of game soundtracks I would be heartbroken to never hear again. I have my few for sure, but not a lot of them. We have our time together and then that time is over.
Paradise Killer is not like that. Hyperbolically I think I would die if I could never listen to some of these smooth jazzy soundtracks again. That’s just good vaporwave right there. If I only had a few albums I could listen to for the rest of my life in the apocalypse I want one of them to be this one. I feel like this game had its time with me and left. Not the other way around.
The people have spoken! According to a poll on my Discord server, "F-Zero" is one of the absolute top franchises that needs its soundtracks immortalized. I agree - It's a must!
Gamers from all over the world had their wigs blown right off by the relentless speed and action of the original game that pushed the Super Nintendo to its limits. From there, the characters appeared in manga, anime, Nintendo Power features, and (of course) future sequel titles.
But did you realize there were Japanese exclusive follow-ups? Every single game is included here, alongside featured themes from the retro Smash Bros. games.
And did you know that there were several official arrangement CDs released? Those are available as well, from the reconstructed tunes on "F-Zero X Original Sound Track" and "Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music," the thrashing music of "F-Zero X Guitar Arrange Edition," the Jazz versions of "T Game Music Album #13: F-Zero," and even the mellow piano covers on "Tanoshii Beyer Heiyou Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music."
No duplicates here! If any game or soundtrack shared a song, then only differences are included. For example, the F-Zero GX (GameCube) and AX (arcade) titles had largely the same soundtrack, but there were a few exclusive songs in the arcade version, so those exclusives are present rather than duplicating the whole soundtrack twice).
As games in the series or related material reaches the 15 year old mark (like the F-Zero content in 2012's "Nintendo Land" will in 2027), I will add those to this archive as well.
