  • 🎶 Kutná Hora: The City of Silver – A Fan-Made Tribute in Music and Art

    In the heart of medieval Bohemia, where ambition was measured in silver and glory was forged through guilds and grit, rises the city of Kutná Hora. Known for its architectural marvels and economic turbulence, this historic town serves as the setting for the board game Kutná Hora: The City of Silver by Czech Games Edition — and the inspiration for this fan-made soundtrack and artwork project.

    🏰 What is Kutná Hora: The City of Silver?

    Designed by Ondra Skoupý and Petr Čáslava, Kutná Hora is a deeply thematic eurogame that blends asymmetrical gameplay, a dynamic market economy, and layered city-building. Players take on the roles of competing guilds — miners, builders, innkeepers, scribes, and more — working together (and against each other) to develop a thriving late-medieval city atop rich silver deposits.

    The game is not only about resource efficiency or tactical decisions; it’s also a story about civic vision, risk, reputation, and sacred ambition — perfectly captured through St. Barbara’s ever-rising cathedral and the shifting value of coin and land.

    🎵 A Soundtrack Inspired by Silver and Stone

    This soundtrack project is not an official release, but a passionate homage. Each track has been crafted to reflect key moments in the game’s narrative arc: from the hush of the silver mines to the grandeur of the cathedral, from the clinking coins of the guildhalls to the whispers in back-alley deals.

    Highlights include:

    • Silver in the Hills – A slow-burning orchestral dawn as the town’s fate is unearthed.
    • The Miners’ Descent – Industrial tension and reward deep below the earth.
    • Guilds of Prosperity – Elegant, structured themes for each guild’s influence.
    • Reputation and Risk – Where ambition walks the edge of scandal.
    • Twilight Over Kutná Hora – A serene finale as the city’s legacy takes shape.

    Whether you’re playing the game or simply exploring medieval Bohemian themes, this music invites you to feel the pulse of the past.

    🎨 Immersive Visual Storytelling

    Alongside the music, we’ve created a series of AI-generated artworks that bring the town of Kutná Hora to life in lush painterly detail. These illustrations depict:

    • Miners and masons working by torchlight
    • The rise of St. Barbara’s Cathedral under a starry sky
    • Bustling marketplaces, tax collectors, and secret deals in candlelit alleys
    • A mystical chapel built from the sweepings of silver dust

    All art has been inspired by the game’s historical references, guild symbols, and its beautifully illustrated components, staying true to the tone and culture of medieval Czech life.

    📺 Watch & Listen

    You can explore both the soundtrack and illustrated scenes on YouTube through:

    • A full-length soundtrack video for immersive listening

    The consistent theme across all pieces is:
    “Merchant Ambition Rendered in Light and Stone.”

  • 🎧 SETI: A Sci-Fi Journey in Sound and Vision

    🌌 About the Game

    SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is more than a board game — it’s a strategic voyage through deep space, scientific discovery, and the tantalizing possibility of alien contact. Set in a near-future where humanity has the tools to reach across the stars, players compete as scientists and mission directors, coordinating probes, analyzing signals, and unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos.

    Each action in SETI — be it launching a probe, scanning a sector, or decoding an alien transmission — is rooted in real scientific thought. The game cleverly balances engine-building mechanics, modular planetary exploration, and a race for knowledge. With a rotating game board representing the solar system, it’s a puzzle of positioning, planning, and prioritizing — all steeped in a grounded yet speculative vision of space exploration.


    🎶 The Soundtrack: Melodic Science Fiction

    To match the game’s mood, we’ve composed a fully original AI-generated soundtrack. Each track is inspired by key gameplay moments and thematic beats, from scanning distant stars to uncovering first contact.

    The music blends cinematic orchestration with electronic textures, representing the meeting point of science and imagination. Across eight carefully crafted pieces, you’ll hear echoes of:

    • Cosmic patience in the quiet of observatories
    • Brave departures as humanity reaches skyward
    • Alien mysteries embedded in light and static
    • Hopeful encounters with the unknowable

    Each piece is more than background music — it’s an emotional companion to the player’s journey through SETI.


    🖼 The Visuals: Concept Art in Motion

    Accompanying each track is a hand-crafted digital painting in a stylized, cinematic sci-fi concept art style. Dominated by warm orange, gold, and amber tones, each 16:9 image evokes the silent awe of space exploration.

    From glowing orbital platforms and Saturn’s radiant rings, to alien obelisks and crystal cities, the imagery invites you to see the story behind the game’s mechanics. These visuals echo the painted aesthetic of the board game while expanding its world through atmosphere and detail.


    🎥 Watch & Listen

    Our full soundtrack video combines music and imagery into a seamless experience. Whether you’re playing SETI, reading sci-fi, or simply relaxing under the stars, it’s a perfect backdrop to inspire curiosity and contemplation.


    🚀 Final Thoughts

    SETI captures the essence of what it means to look beyond — to search not just for answers, but for connection. This project was a joy to create, and we hope it brings depth and beauty to your next game night or creative session.

  • 🌍 Terraforming Mars: A Journey Through Sound and Vision

    In the distant future, humanity reaches out to its planetary neighbor with one grand ambition: to make Mars a living world.

    Terraforming Mars, the award-winning board game by Jacob Fryxelius and FryxGames, captures the epic struggle of turning the Red Planet into a thriving home for humanity. Players lead competing megacorporations in a race to raise oxygen levels, melt polar ice caps into oceans, and warm the planet’s surface — all while managing projects ranging from orbital mirrors to bioengineered forests.

    What makes Terraforming Mars so remarkable is its balance of strategy, science, and narrative. Every card played — from Deimos Down to Stratopolis — contributes to a shared story of planetary rebirth.


    🎵 Soundtrack: A Cinematic Voyage Through Generations

    To accompany this grand journey, we’ve created a thematic soundtrack, composed with AI-assisted tools and designed to mirror the phases of terraforming. Each track evokes a different moment in the process — from the first satellite launches to the moment a colonist removes their helmet to breathe Martian air unaided.

    Ten original compositions reflect not only the base game but also its expansions: Prelude, Venus Next, and Colonies. Whether you’re watching the clouds of Venus or riding the terminator line on Mercury, each piece tells a part of the broader terraforming epic.


    🎨 Visuals: Mars, Reimagined

    Each track is accompanied by cinematic 16:9 images, generated with a blend of photorealism and minimalist sci-fi graphics. Inspired by the visual style of Terraforming Mars’s cards, the images combine atmospheric landscapes with clean iconography — echoing the fusion of corporate data and natural beauty central to the game’s theme.

    From icy crater lakes to bustling trade hubs over Europa, the visuals help immerse viewers in a speculative but entirely plausible future.


    🎬 Watch and Listen

    You can now experience this entire audiovisual journey in our full-length YouTube video:

    Whether you’re a longtime fan of the game or a newcomer curious about life beyond Earth, we hope this project brings you closer to the spirit of exploration, resilience, and imagination that Terraforming Mars represents.

  • 🌲 Journey into the Heart of the Forest — Forest Shuffle Soundtrack & Art

    The forest is alive. In Forest Shuffle, you don’t just play a game — you cultivate an ecosystem.

    This beautifully crafted board game by Lookout Games invites players to build thriving forests by strategically combining trees with the many creatures and plants that call them home. Each decision blossoms into a richer woodland — be it through alpine peaks, shadowy forest edges, or vibrant glades.

    Now, this natural wonder has been transformed into a fully immersive audiovisual experience.


    🎵 The Soundtrack: Nature’s Quiet Symphony

    To bring the forest to life beyond the table, we composed an 18-track ambient soundtrack, with each piece rooted in the world of Forest Shuffle and its expansions (Alpine and Edge).

    The music flows between acoustic folk, ambient textures, and gently cinematic moments. You’ll hear:

    • Soft woodland strings at dawn
    • Snow-dusted melodies drifting through the Alpine slopes
    • Flickers of twilight mystery from the forest edge
    • Gentle, celebratory sounds as creatures gather beneath falling leaves

    Each track was carefully guided by the Forest Shuffle rulebooks, echoing the peaceful yet intricate systems of the natural world.


    🎨 The Artwork: Illustrated Stillness, Inspired by Flow

    Alongside the soundtrack, we’ve created nine original visual scenes, each accompanying two songs. The art draws from the painterly, semi-realistic style of the animated film Flow — capturing the forest’s layered beauty with:

    • Gentle brush edges
    • Stylized but elegant animal forms
    • Balanced daylight tones, from golden hours to moonlit paths
    • Subtle glowing details (fireflies, mushrooms, magical dusk)

    Each illustration offers a window into a moment — a deer drinking at dawn, butterflies above blooming fields, a white bird glowing under the stars.


    🌿 Listen. Watch. Breathe.

    Whether you’re playing Forest Shuffle, relaxing, or just dreaming of trees, this soundtrack and its companion art invite you into a slow, enchanted rhythm — the breath of the forest itself.

  • 🎨 Harmonies: Where Nature Sings — A Journey Through Art, Music, and Game Design

    In a world filled with chaos and conquest, Harmonies invites us to slow down — to breathe with the rhythm of rivers, listen to the wind through the trees, and walk alongside the spirit of the land itself. This board game is more than just a strategic landscape builder; it’s a love letter to nature, expressed through exquisite art, thoughtful gameplay, and now… music.

    🌿 The Game: A Peaceful Puzzle of Patterns and Presence

    Published by Libellud and designed by Johan Benvenuto, Harmonies asks players to build layered landscapes using colored tokens that represent forests, rivers, mountains, fields, and buildings. As you carefully place tiles and form habitats, animals settle into your growing ecosystem, rewarding both planning and aesthetic intuition.

    Unlike many competitive games, Harmonies fosters a meditative flow. There are no battles here — only balance. With beautiful dual-sided player boards and optional Spirit cards, the game offers variability and depth while maintaining serenity as its core.


    🎼 The Soundtrack: Music That Grows Like a Forest

    To honor the atmosphere of Harmonies, we’ve created a full-length original fantasy soundtrack — 20 unique compositions inspired directly by the gameplay and visual aesthetic. From the gentle sunrise of “Song of the Harmonies” to the mysterious twilight of “Spirit of the Nature’s Guardians,” each piece is designed to transport you into this world of layered landscapes and gentle spirit energy.

    Whether you’re playing the game, writing, or simply relaxing, this music brings the board to life with:

    • Calm orchestral textures
    • Ethereal ambient soundscapes
    • Folk-inspired acoustic passages
    • Subtle magical motifs and organic rhythms

    🎧 Listen to the full soundtrack here on YouTube
    (Featuring cinematic visuals generated to match each pair of songs)


    🖼️ The Artwork: Painterly Journeys into Fantasy Nature

    Complementing the music is a gallery of AI-generated landscape art, created in a soft painterly style that echoes the game’s visual language. Each piece corresponds to two tracks from the soundtrack and portrays key emotional settings:

    • Sunlit valleys and misty forests
    • River-carved mountains and sacred groves
    • Twilight animal migrations and enchanted islands

    These images use a consistent dreamlike aesthetic: warm glows, rich natural textures, and magical realism that honors the spirit of the original game art by Maëva Da Silva.


    ✨ Why This Matters

    In a time when much of board game media is loud, fast, and competitive, Harmonies reminds us of something different: that quiet moments, patient design, and natural beauty can be deeply moving.

    This soundtrack and visual experience are our tribute to that feeling — a celebration of design that dares to be peaceful, musical, and meaningful.
