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.

Everything about this album gets me emotional. I get this tight feeling in my chest while listening to the second half of Resurrections, Confronting Myself, and Reach for the Summit. Like I can accomplish anything. I think having a visualization to go with it helps for when I first listened but I always think back to the rush I felt first completing it. Without your soundtrack this game would be incomplete, and I thank you for making it. 🧡 peedeesmiley

I'm a fan of darker, ambient soundtracks, which is why this is such a great album to me. I hope Jim Guthrie will continue to experiment with this style moving forward. This one is my favorite of the three volumes, but all three are great! alfacore
