Baumarius

Hey there, I’m Bau! I’m a soundtrack composer who makes film electronica, psychedelic orchestral music, and more. I released my 16th album Tendril Talk on October 11th, 2025 and am now working with another developer in Unreal Engine 5 to create Synesthetic - a real-time synesthesia simulator for VR. Synesthetic will enable you to see music as colors, forms, textures, and movement through 3D space, encouraging a special form of choreography that will let you touch music. I do this without software in my day-to-day life, and my hope is that one day you can too. The game will be paired with a research study to determine synesthesia trainability, which I hope to get published in a journal after its conclusion. Synesthetic will come pre-loaded with a variety of song experiences/packs, similar to how Beat Saber is set up, as well as a campaign that will teach you how to use the simulator, interact with music, and make it more enjoyable. I intend to include parts of Tendril Talk and Starlight Telepath as part of the main tutorial. It will also come with an editor that you can use to sync visuals to your own music, then upload online to share with your friends. After Synesthetic is complete, I will be gearing up to create Tenera - a metroidvania about a telepathic wolf in a post-apocalyptic world. The message I hope to communicate through it dwarfs everything I've ever made. But, in order to make it in the way that I envision, I'll need some of the underlying systems from Psynesthetic to be completed first. Your support of this Ko-Fi campaign helps make these games and my music possible. Thank you!
