notes: '"The full original game soundtrack for Cards of Heart, a narrative-focused
  cozy digital card game mixed with a fantasy top-down RPG about a young woman’s daily
  mental health struggles against her inner Shadows.

  Whew, where to begin? Like many new projects I undertake, this soundtrack pushed
  the boundaries of what I was comfortable writing for, culminating in some rich,
  cathartic orchestral tracks to hybrid ‘gamelan trap’ beats. Cards of Heart’s music
  juxtaposes between the quiet, melancholic routines of day-to-day life against the
  debilitating, distressing struggles caught in our minds, our inner shadows.

  Alongside director Marielle Brady’s narrative direction, my personal struggles with
  my mental health also informed a lot of the music’s emotional structure. I didn’t
  want to write music that represented mental health when it was ‘good’ or ‘bad,’
  ‘black’ or ‘white’— our struggles with our mind, thoughts, and feelings fluctuate
  often and over periods of time, and it can result in incredibly nuanced experiences.
  I hope that Cards of Heart’s soundtrack reflects that complexity, and I hope you
  can resonate with the music in some shape or form.

  Thanks again for checking out the soundtrack, and please remember to take care of
  yourself and to take it easy."
