“Mind-nourishing and atmospherically luxe, 'Music For Save Rooms 1 & 2' is a fine example of how video game music can cross brazenly into the avant-garde.” - Boomkat
John Also Bennett (JAB)’s Music for Save Rooms 1 & 2 compiles two volumes of minimalist music “meant to color the atmosphere of a room in which you can stay a while, but that you will have to leave in the end”. Recorded across five years, the music was initially conceived as a set of infinitely looping and morphing compositions for conceptual “save rooms”, temporary safe spaces within video game maps. Music for Save Rooms 1, released digitally in 2020, has been definitively mixed and expanded, and is presented here alongside Music for Save Rooms 2, a second album of music stemming from the same original sessions. Save Rooms 2 differs from its predecessor - instead of a collection of disparate works centered around a theme, the album presents a narrative, a tour through the mind’s eye of an artist searching for an elusive place, somewhere in the open world of our collective consciousness.
