A Life Elided Music in “Gyro” – An Indy Puzzle Solving Game
July 14th, 2026
On July 10th A Life Elided officially became video game music by being featured in the newly developed independent game, “Gyro”. The game was developed by Shane Mattox, who is also the singer in {ELSE}, though he didn’t share the work with us until it was nearly done back in May!
The project truly is a labor of love, developed almost over 10 years. It’s fitting given that the music used was also a labor of love, or at least of inspiration and free time, written, recorded, and produced over a decade ago now. Given the much more recent work on Arden I hadn’t been thinking about the music of Lear all that much lately, but it’s incredible to see it come to life in this way.
