Alchemy is a short piano, bass and drum instrument I released in late 2024.

This song was heavily inspired by the game Inscryption, particularly during the second act, where we meet a Wizard character named Magnificus. I was entranced by the visual styling of pinks and greens, and the gorgeous music during the scene.

Magnificus from Inscryption.

At around the same time that I played Inscryption, I was taking a course in music theory, and we learned about the topic of modal interchange. While I was working on the assignment regarding it, I ended up making the main melody for Alchemy.

I wanted to capture the feeling of an alchemist making 'magic' in their workshop, which was how I felt about that melody at the time, and being introduced to so many new fascinating music techniques. I felt surrounded by magic - both in learning music theory and playing Inscryption, which is now one of my favorite games of all time.

Alchemy was finished a few days after creating the melody, but due to my busy schedule, it took me until November to finish mixing and publishing it. Alchemy is out now on Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music.
