Govika Easily my favorite off the album. The whole thing is fantastic for listening through! Favorite track: Faraway Forest.

agarner Great album for use at the table! Lots of the tracks are loop-able and atmospheric which makes it simple and easy as a DM to have them going on in the background to set the mood. Favorite track: Chasing Dragons.

about

Chasing Dragons, Vol. 1 is a collection of music designed to be used during tabletop gaming sessions. Composed to be atmospheric, loopable, and tone-setting background music, the songs are a non-intrusive accompaniment to your tabletop adventures that'll help players and GMs better feel the world you're creating together at the table.

I set out to make a short soundtrack for an imagined and fantastical world that didn’t rely on the usual sounds and instrumentation of fantasy soundtracks—think somewhere between warm, instrumental folk and Dungeon Synth. And since I tend to be a perfectionist, I also imposed a limit on myself: to compose each song in a single day.

Originally crafted as a collection of songs for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign I play in, I hope this can be a backdrop to your adventures too! This album is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. It costs nothing to use for your tabletop session, indie game, podcast, film, or other media (please reach out and let me know if you do—I’d love to hear about it). Any money you pay for this will go toward creating the next batch of free music!

"The city is comfortably quiet tonight. Wandering through the empty, winding streets, you hear a familiar melancholic tune off in the distance. You swear you’ve heard it before but you can’t quite place where. You trace it to an old wizard playing a lyre as he sits on a bench overlooking the city’s deepwater harbor. He invites you to sit next to him as he continues to play and his song gently drifts off into the night ...”

무너지기 (Crumbling)

An absolutely staggering and unprecedented psych-folk experience that will transport you to another planet where synths bend like strings and drums sputter like lungs on their last breath. Gautam Srikishan

Tumbling Towards a Wall
by Ulla

A textured, multi-layered universe of soft sounds and barely-there musical motifs. Turn it up loud and revel in how gently it buoys you on its gentle waves. Gautam Srikishan
