I’ve just added a prize draw to win the Minimoog and the Gas 0095 collection on my blog for the Gas 0095 15 year anniversaryĪnd I have a Gas 0095 Q&A and have set up a page for people to submit any questions (also via Facebook and our contact page). More from Mat / Microscopics, including an improved, higher-quality papercraft Minimoog: If you want still more music, the fantastic High Skies EP Sounds of the Earth is free for Osmos customers. Vincent et Tristan – Osmos Theme (two excerpts)Īnd yes, that includes the most-definitely-unreleased samples by Vincent et Tristan, which are short but quite beautiful. (sadly, there seems not to be an open format for doing this, and one of the only creation tools is GarageBand – I’d love to hear alternatives) M4A extended podcast with visuals and chapter markers If you’ve already gotten the game but got stuck on Epicycles (ahem), we have a solution for that, too – see the recently-released video from the game developers, who must have heard your pain. The most recent news, as seen on Synthtopia and the Microscopics blog: an iPhone version of Osmos is coming soon. (I’m still working on loaning a multitouch laptop stay tuned.)
Owners of multitouch PCs have been treated to a multitouch version on Games for Windows Live. By the end of last year, Osmos migrated from its initial, Windows-only release to Mac, too. The release is overdue, but it comes at a good time. A huge thanks to the artists, whose generosity made this compilation possible – check out their work if you haven’t already. It’s one of the rare game soundtracks you’d want to hear even after having heard it on repeat while solving some of the title’s trickier puzzles. Now, I’m pleased to offer a lot of that music for your listening pleasure, for free. Their sonic craft is a great example of what digital music can be.
But it’s the soundtrack that sealed the deal: ambient-tinged work by artists like Gas 0095, Julien Neto, Loscil, and High Skies helped us imagine an unseen, microscopic (or perhaps macroscopic) world. The independent game Osmos won our hearts in 2009, with transcendent, meditative gameplay built on simulated particle physics, starting as a floating wonderland and ending with some deliciously punishing difficulty.
