Cross Realms v02 feels like an atmospheric, genre-blending piece — likely sitting between electronic, ambient, and lo-fi / downtempo with possible orchestral or game-score influences. The “v02” suggests an iterative refinement, so this version probably tightens transitions and texture layering compared to an earlier draft.
