Entry 1135 - Dim - Compendium I


Style: dungeon synth

Primary Emotions/Themes: A beautiful take on the dungeon synth genre that focuses on classical instrumentation and Renaissance harmonies 

Thoughts: Dim is a newer dungeon synth artist to me. I was introduced to their work through one of my closest friends, and I am in their debt for this introduction.

The music contained on Compendium I is pure bliss. Driven primarily by the harpsichord, the music has a whimsical, light, and airy feel to it. This is the kind of music that feels at home on a warm summer day, or the first blossoming of flowers after a long and hard winter. It's beautiful.

The music contained on Compendium I is a phenomenal introduction to Dim and their music. There's nothing harsh or unbecoming about the music in the slightest. The appeal of the music likely expands way beyond the dungeon synth genre as well. It's so well crafted and composed that nearly every person I've played this for is swept away into a place of wonder.
