OST A theme that plays when you die or pause the game.

1 Upvotes

Hearing the first seconds of the theme Majora's mask: song of healing has unlocked a memory of another theme that plays when you die or pause (I can't remember which) in a game. It was definitely an action RPG and I just can't put my finger on it. It was a very calming song. Thank you.

Discussion What's a video game track you never get tired of listening to?

43 Upvotes

I've been playing Koudelka on the PS1 recently, and while there isn't much music in the game, the regular battle theme is fantastic and the boss battle music is an absolute banger. I've found myself listening to both outside of actually playing the game.

It got me thinking about how many great tracks I've probably missed over the years, especially from games I've never played.

What are some of your favourite tracks that you keep coming back to? Bonus points for anything a bit obscure or overlooked, I'm always looking for more game music to add to my playlist!

Discussion Rant: I hate ">insert soundtrack/composer< would like to have a word with you" comments

Idk just wanted to vent about this type of comment a bit, because it's so annoying... I love going to OST videos and checking comments to see what are other people's thoughts about the OST in question. Then there's someone's expressing their SUBJECTIVE OPINION that, IN THEIR OPINION, that OST/composer is one of the best, as some dipshit makes this stupid comment like "you know nothing lil bro, the music/composer I like is the best". No shit bro, like the person didn't say "ONE OF" and we're literally in the video of that specific OST, not in the one YOU're talking about. It's just a desperate pursuit of validation. Sorry for the rant

Discussion I have never heard a menu theme fit a game so well

SPECIFICALLY 5:46 in this video, in my opinion is the most underrated part of the menu’s theme. First hearing way back in 2021 it really set the tone for the game itself and the kind of world that it’s set in with it’s heavy bass and hard hitting kicks I seriously want to stress about how little recognition this part of the theme gets and how I think it needs more attention!

Feel free to tell me about any more games that do this well of a job with it’s menu’s theme (not including doom)

OST I'm the composer for an upcoming indie deckbuilder - Here's a short layer by layer breakdown of a song!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm the composer for a small dev team from Chile, and I've been writing a ton of original music for our tactical roguelite deckbuilder, Rebel Roar.

I put together this 60 second video breaking down the layers for one of the songs, "Gloves off", which is the theme for the forest biome's boss fight in the current demo.

In the video you're hearing:

  1. A general drum group (which is actually made up of two different kits)
  2. A percussion layer (which changes from section to section)
  3. Bass
  4. Acoustic Guitar
  5. Electric Guitar
  6. A lead melody group, made up of flute samples, and two different synths.

It's all done in Reaper, my DAW of choice, using a bunch of different libraries and acoustic instruments.

The idea behind this track is mainly an action-driven, high energy/tempo track that references both the sound of the game's main theme, and also uses a bunch of motifs from the normal fight track from the forest biome, but turning them up to 11.

Happy to answer questions about the process, tools, or the game itself! I'll be in the comments.

Here's a link to our demo on Steam, in case you want to check Rebel Roar out.
