Dreams Aligned OST

by Karl Brueggemann

supported by

Colum Wilson Holy moly this album came out of nowhere to suddenly be the best OST of the year for me. It draws inspirations from classic and beloved older sound fonts, but has no trouble finding it's own imagination.

metalman As immersive and captivating as any of the classic JRPG sound tracks I've heard over the years. Favorite track: Ranai Mountains.

Inspector_specktor With this outstanding JRPG tribute, Karl answers the question, 'Is it possible to be nostalgic for a game that never existed?'. Dreams Aligned explodes with life, emotion, melody, and groove. A must-listen for fans of Uematsu, Mitsuda, and the golden age of JRPGs. Favorite track: The Forces Now Aligned.

about

Dreams Aligned is an expansive and imaginative original SNES soundtrack and world by Karl Brueggemann. The music of Dreams Aligned is partly inspired by many beloved JRPG and adventure games, while also incorporating an original, fresh aesthetic.

This ambitious project is quite unique in that it takes how a game is typically created and flips it on its head. Here, the music, lore, characters and world were all created first, without an actual game to accompany them. The goal then, is for the game to eventually be made, and take inspiration from this music and world.

The story of Dreams Aligned follows protagonist Delmont, his longtime partner Selene, and their adventure to overcome the darkness that the evil Mavios has beset on the land of Calcaria. For more immersion and context, you can view the map of Calcaria here: bit.ly/3rPmZBF
And you can read descriptions of each track here: bit.ly/3KhAYGG
