This piece, Encounter, is the BGM that plays when you open the ship encyclopedia.

The composer, Kaori Ōkoshi, apparently created it with images like looking up at the water’s surface from the seabed.

It begins with electronic tones that drip like falling water droplets, then a synth bass rises from below, gradually warming the track.

In the latter half, strings weaving a mysterious melody and the sound of piano add color.

It feels like the kind of music that would help you sleep soundly if you drifted off while listening to it.
