The Gardens Between — Original Soundtrack
Tim Shiel's complete score in lossless audio — fifteen tracks of tape-warmed synths, cicadas and weather, plus two ambient mixes you'll only find here.
A score that already sounds like a memory
Melbourne composer Tim Shiel built the soundtrack from vintage synthesizers, field recordings and honest tape hiss. The result doesn't accompany the game so much as float beside it — half score, half weather system.
Many players discovered the album standalone. It works as a focus record, a sleep-adjacent listen, or the thing you put on when a house is too quiet.
- 15 tracks — every island's theme
- Two exclusive ambient mixes, nowhere else
- Lossless FLAC + 320kbps MP3, DRM-free
Seventeen reasons to put headphones on
Every track titled like a memory you're not sure was yours.
Are We Dreaming?
The opening theme — soft synth pads over distant thunder. Three minutes that set the whole game's weather.
The Treehouse
Music-box melody wrapped in cicadas and tin-roof rain. The track most players hum without realising.
Your Memory Lane
The emotional centrepiece — played during the island the team calls 'the heavy one'.
Storm Suite (ambient mix)
Exclusive to this release: the finale's themes stretched into a twenty-two minute ambient piece.

I finished the game a year ago and still write to this album most mornings. It's the rare game score that grew up to be an album.— Bandcamp listener review
