“Main Theme” (Preview) – Starr Mazer DSP
http://www.originalsoundversion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/starr_mazer_Maintheme.mp3 [3]“For Starr Mazer DSP’s soundtrack, we’re doing a Venn diagram of music styles: combining the moody-melodic Starr Mazer sound with the ’80s style ‘Outrun‘ sub-genre of synth-wave. Inspirations include demoscene musicians like Lizardking, ’80s European disco records, arcade soundtracks like U.N. Squadron, and a visit to Miami. The main Stage 1 theme was written while on that trip.” – Alex Mauer, Starr Mazer DSP composer
Released by Imagos Softworks and PLAYISM, the “retro-sexy” soundtrack—combining electronic, chiptunes, and synthwave stylings imagined by Mauer is also available. You can currently save 10% on Starr Mazer DSP through Steam Early access until September 1st, and can learn more on the Starr Mazer DSP website [5].
