Cocoon

Description

Cocoon | ^{Jakob Schmid
Original Game Soundtrack}

Cocoon is an unforgettable odyssey through a series of hostile, techno-organic landscapes. Each of its nested worlds are distinct and unique in both their look and feel, but they also share a common ancestor, borne of influential artists and futurists like Moebius and H.R. Giger. 

Its soundscape, too, reflects a lonely vision of an alien future — reverberating tones and zigzagging synth notes dot ambient compositions, calling to mind extraterrestrials and arthropods alike.

We at iam8bit collaborated with Geometric Interactive and Annapurna Interactive to bring this irreplicable auditory journey to wax, just for you. This is the Cocoon Vinyl Soundtrack, a must-have for any serious video game vinyl collector. Composer Jakob Schmid has arranged key elements from the game’s unique generative in-game music to form a coherent musical experience — an arranged soundtrack that paints a complete portrait of Cocoon’s music, pressed on classic black vinyl. 

Plus, we worked with the game’s art director/lead artist Erwin Kho to capture the indescribable Cocoon aesthetic for the all-new, all-original album art. Kho crafted a piece that’s sure to stand out on your record shelf as a one-of-a-kind. 

Spin this record up, close your eyes, and get lost in an alien world beyond your imagination.
