The next time you’re in The Mood, you can easily throw on the Tetris Effect soundtrack – it’s now officially streaming through Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube. That’s nearly three hours of good vibes.

“Mizuguchi-san (our producer) and Ishihara-san (our director and art director) expressed the idea of taking you on a journey through your mind, consciousness, and emotions. ‘This is like zen Tetris,’ they said. From there, I set the theme for the sound and music as elements that enhance your immersive experience or soothe, calm, and make you relax. Mizuguchi-san also emphasized ‘timelessness’ – sounds and compositions that are not ‘on-trend,’ but can be appreciated for many years to come.”

I’m pumped to have 🎵 Nothing can stop us. Nothing can stop us. We can touch the sky! 🎵 stuck in my head for the rest of the day. “Look Up” isn’t my favorite track, but dang does it stick with me.
