Now Playing: Prescription For Sleep: Stardew Valley – Exclusive Winter (Nocture Of Ice) Remix Reveal
The album features performances by Gentle Love, the group comprised of Metal Gear Solid performer Norihiko Hibino on saxophone and Etrian Odyssey’s Ayaki on piano. The album was made in close partnership with Stardew Valley developer and composer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, who chose all 11 tracks and wrote commentary for the album. ConcernedApe also conducted the interview that users can read in the digital booklet if you buy the album on Bandcamp.
For the new, original track–“Beauty in Seasons”–Every two bars of music from the Stardew Valley Prescription for Sleep album represents a month of the year, making for an unquestionably unique way to express the music. Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano says it was a “huge honor” to work with ConcernedApe on this album.
“I almost feel bad that we turned things around and put him to work, but I must say having the personal touch of the composer and creator of Stardew Valley makes this volume all that much more meaningful,” he said. “We hope fans enjoy it and continue to enjoy the series long into the future!”
ConcernedApe said in his own statement: “As a long-time fan of Gentle Love, it’s been an honor and a pleasure to collaborate with them. I believe this is a deeply relaxing and beautiful album.”
