Inspired by his work on the highly anticipated indie game The Gardens Between, Tim Shiel presents an album of rich ambient music that resonates with the game's core themes of time, memory and childhood.
Glowing Pains seamlessly weaves together elements from the game's otherworldly score with improvised contributions from many of Tim's closest musical friends from around the world, to create an album that is as gorgeous and as moving as the game that inspired it.
The Gardens Between was developed by Melbourne game studio The Voxel Agents and will be released on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam on September 20, 2018.
