A downloadable asset pack

### 🎹 About the Project

"Held" is a deeply atmospheric and evocative instrumental arrangement composed by Mastering Silence. Built upon a slow-moving, suspended pad foundation and grounded by low sub-bass notes, the piece creates an immersive space of heavy emotional tension. Over this ambient canvas, a sharp and beautifully isolated right-hand melody cuts through the silence—acting as a raw, melodic anchor that carries the composition forward.

### 🎬 Perfect For:

* **Atmospheric & Cozy Exploration:** Ideal for walking through beautifully empty landscapes, quiet open worlds, or reflective puzzle screens.

* **Narrative Drama:** Perfectly scores intimate character moments, slow memories, or scenes dealing with isolation and hope.

* **Ambient Background / Menus:** The stable, shifting pad movements provide a non-distracting but deeply emotional backdrop for title screens and main menus.

### 📦 What's Included

* **High-Quality WAV Mix:** Production-ready audio with full dynamic range, ready to drag-and-drop straight into Unity, Unreal, Godot, or RPG Maker.

* **Full MIDI Score File:** Complete instrumental data giving you total control to customize virtual instruments (VSTs), re-assign sound patches, or dynamically layer the arrangement within your game engine.

### 📄 Licensing & Terms

* **Free for Indie Projects:** This asset pack is 100% free to use in non-commercial game jams, demos, and free indie releases on itch.io.

* **Attribution Required:** Please credit the track in your project's credits screen or description page as: *Music by Mastering Silence*.

* **Commercial Use:** Globally registered via CD Baby and ASCAP. If your project expands into a paid commercial release (Steam, consoles, etc.), please contact me directly via private message to secure a formal micro-sync license.
