soundtracks on Audion Song Records

The logo of Audion Song records: over concentric circles, progressing inward from brown to a creamy yellow, we see a hand-lettered outline of an audion (an early electronic component something like a fuse or vacuum tube) with the words AUDION SONG, in all capitals, contoured to fill the audion's outline.

a little label
putting awesome soundtracks out into the world
for games, films, and series
both real and imagined

The cover art for the "Sleepy Donut Jams" album from Audion Song Records, a compilation of music by Spaced Out Studios and Michael Spicer that includes music from three video games: Asterisk, Department of Demise, and Hare Runner. Over a background that fades from deep purple on the left to a rich reddish orange on the right, we see the Sleepy Donut logo transformed to read "Sleepy Donut Jams." At the bottom left, looking up toward it, is the astronaut main character from the game Asterisk. At the bottom right, running toward center, is the cyberrabbit main character of the game Hare Runner.

Audion Song's first release, "Sleepy Donut Jams," celebrates with some old school VGM and no shortage of bangers.

These three fantastic little game jam games by Sleepy Donut are available on Itch.io, and their three fantastic little soundtracks are collected here for your listening pleasure.

Plenty of head-nodding rock-outs to be had here, along with a few other delights. Alexa Thanos and Sean Ettlin of Spaced Out Studios flex their composition muscles a little as over the course of three video games they absorb classical tunes, funeral dirges, and jazz standards and turn them into 8-bittish soundscapes flush with mounting intensity, big synth hugs, and glorious grooves. Michael Spicer contributes a lovely banger of his own to round out the set.
