Sanctuary
by @benbarden
Liner Notes
Inspired by videogame soundtracks, Sanctuary is full of retro sounds. It is my first track for FAWM 2026 - and my first track of the year.

Great work! Love your instrument choice. Everything meshes together very well!

As a lifelong gamer, this is legit! I feel like I just leveled up =)

Nice work! Feels like the soundtracks from FTL or Terraria. Love it.

Such a nice clean mix, I love the little extra white-noise percussion brush that starts to become more prominent at about 1'50" and some of the snappy melody lines that weave in and out of major and minor! Something about the groove really reminds me of "Not a Robot, but a Ghost" by Andrew Bird.
