I'm excited to finally share something I've been working on for the past month.

Today I'm launching a new free service for the Dungeon Synth community:

Dungeon Synth Bestiary

I'm happy to finally release The Emerald Saga: Interactive Experience.

This project has been created as more than a digital book and more than a music player. It's a handcrafted space where the story, illustrations and soundtrack come together in one immersive experience.

Sit down by the fireplace.

Open the book.

Insert the cassette.

Take your time.

The current version includes the complete first chapter of The Emerald Saga with an illustrated digital book, the full soundtrack, an interactive cassette player, dynamic fireplace, CRT & VHS effects, bookmarks and English/Russian localization.

This is just the beginning.

My goal is to continue expanding the Interactive Experience with every new chapter of The Emerald Saga, gradually adding a world encyclopedia, additional music, artwork and new interactive features until it becomes the definitive companion to the entire universe.

You can download it here:

Thank you to everyone supporting this journey. Every purchase, download and share helps me continue building The Emerald Saga.

Green Waves is a three-track EP dedicated to the tragedy of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

This playlist follows the final hours before the explosion:

• Dawn - the beginning of an ordinary morning
• Bustle - the city alive with movement and routine
• Flash - the moment everything is destroyed

At 8:15 AM, an atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, killing an estimated 70,000–80,000 people instantly. By the end of 1945, the total number of deaths reached around 140,000.

This release focuses on the last moments of normal life - before everything changed.

Today I released a new version of the TopfHelm website.

Main updates:

– modernized design

– radio mode with randomly playing tracks

– timeline with releases and details

– fully reworked shop

– The Emerald Saga page with listening and exploration

The goal was to make it feel less like a page and more like a world.

Today marks the release of the first chapter of The Emerald Saga.

This is the most ambitious project I've ever created — a musical story built with more than 300 instruments, over 30 original synthesizers, and a world inspired by the Early Middle Ages.

But the music is only the beginning.

🟢 Digital Deluxe Edition

A complete digital package including:

🟢 Digital Album (By DM)

The complete soundtrack in high quality for those who simply want to immerse themselves in the music.

🟢 Collector's Cassette Edition

(By DM)

A handcrafted, limited edition release featuring custom packaging and the complete narrated story, available exclusively on cassette.

Thank you to everyone who supports the project.

Your support makes it possible for The Emerald Saga to continue growing through new chapters, music, illustrations, handcrafted editions, and the upcoming Interactive Experience.

The journey has only just begun.

Because some stories deserve more than a play button.

I'm happy to share the official teaser for The Emerald Saga: The Still Place, the first chapter of a long-term dark fantasy project I've been working on.

The album will be released on July 24, 2026.

For those who want the complete experience, I've also prepared a handcrafted Collector's Cassette Edition. It features the full soundtrack together with the complete narrated story, turning the first chapter into a true audio journey.

Thank you for supporting this project from the very beginning. It means more than you know.

Enjoy the teaser!

The first handcrafted collector's edition of The Emerald Saga: The Still Place is finally complete.

Every part of this release is assembled and finished by hand:

📦 Handcrafted collector's box
📼 Handcrafted cassette case
🎵 Professionally duplicated cassette
🎨 Individually finished artwork

No two copies are exactly alike.

This video is an exclusive first look at the final edition before it begins its journey to collectors.

Thank you for supporting TopfHelm and helping The Emerald Saga become something much larger than music.

Because some stories deserve more than a play button.

July 24, 2026.

The first chapter of The Emerald Saga begins.

A world changed by a forgotten catastrophe.

A journey driven by hope.

A place that should not exist.

The Still Place is the musical opening of an original dark medieval sci-fi fantasy told through music, narration and illustration.

Blending Dungeon Synth, Dungeon Folk, Synthwave, Fusion Jazz, Comfy Synth and other influences, each composition follows the events of the story rather than existing as a standalone collection of songs.
