The Music
The Neon Youth is a dark, story-driven RPG centred around two young protagonists, with pixel-art visuals and a mysterious atmosphere.
Musical approach
I was initially commissioned to write a piano piece for a night-time forest scene, focusing on simplicity, innocence and unease. After developing the concept with the developer, the project expanded to include additional music combining orchestral and electronic elements.

“I would certainly say that TKIMUSE has satisfied my expectations and my somewhat rigorous requirements. I still listen to TKI's music when I'm working. 'The Tower Reversed' is a truly catchy tune with a bit of mystery.”
