Pixel Mixers decided to go with relaxing/soothing covers of some of the most beautiful themes in VGM to make Tranquility a wholesome listening experience in support of SaveTheChildren.

Save the Children works hard to help children gain access to quality education and health services, support them in times of great need, and protect them from risks and harm. We work with the government in developing policies, plan and budgets to ensure that children, especially those living in poor communities all around the world, have access to quality basic services and have their rights protected. https://www.savethechildren.org/

Tranquility features 33 tracks from more than 50 musicians, featuring some of the chillest tunes from games like Final Fantasy VIII, Animal Crossing, Xenoblade, Chrono Cross, Wind Waker, Mario Galaxy, Undertale and many more!

Nobuo Uematsu‘s style of simple but how effective melodies is a real open door to creativity for arrangements, it was a real pleasure to hear those old classics getting a new face and I hope you’ll have fun discovering what we have done with those songs.

Simply click on the cover arts to open a download link.

Seas of Time
The 1st album ever released by the Pixel Mixers community is a 4 disc album covering the full OST of the Playstation classic: Final Fantasy VIII and it’s unforgettable soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu.

Songs from a Nightmare
For our 2nd album we decided to make a tribute to the horror genre. Not only the usual survival-horror games such as silent Hill, Resident Evil or Dino Crisis but also games like Castlevania, Medievil, Parasite Eve and many more.

Clockwork
The desperately too short Chrono series remains today one of the most beloved J-RPG series of all time. We decided to make a tribute to Chrono Trigger and Cross with this album and to salute the genius composer Yasunori Mitsuda.

04

Disc 1 streaming

Disc 2 streaming

Disc 3 streaming

 

The Great Tale of the Little Ones
Indie games have been more and more successful last years with hits like Super Meat Boy, the binding of Isaac and more recently Undertale. If those independent games can offer new ideas and concept, gameplay and/or story wise, they are also an amazing playground for composers and naturally for us, cover artists.

Catch This!
That’s crazy how time flies, isn’t it?
Yes, that game we all played, the 1st generation of Pokemon turned 20 years old in 2016. It’s the good occasion to take a huge load of nostalgia thanks to Junichi Masuda’s music revisited by our community.
