Anon composes game soundtracks
(sh.itjust.works)
> dark and snowy level
> church organ
> clockwork/steampunk level
> 3/4 beat
> Aztec empire
> big band jazz straight out of an old-timey gangster flick for some fucking reason
Probably inspired by Donkey Kong - Jungle or anything associated with jungles are just jazz now
that seems kinda racist.
blame Tarzan, that was the first assosciation of bongo drums with the Jungle
That or Civilization by Danny Kaye and The Andrews Sisters.
I love that song though
Yeah, but it's still a bop. Soken usually sticks to the tropes, but after fighting things like fairy kings and bug dudes to very... unique boss themes, I think he gets a pass.
(I wonder if it was scored to be a "America" style theme. Would make more sense, lol)
I think he might have watched The Emperor's New Groove.
I did feel like the main theme that plays during certain montages had a bit of a 90s feel to it. Probably the use of a choir. Lol
When I try to think of stereotypical "American" music, it's always either this, Trace Adkins, or Earl Scruggs. Soken made the right choice with Bones Malone and The Spooky Boys.
Oof, can you imagine a Trace Adkins style town theme. I can stand that of it music, haha.
Then again, you know Soken must have at least thought about it for the Western areas, complete with Koji Fox doing a fake twangy accent singing about booze, his ride, and those cow analogue things you can ride.
Neon colored VR landscape: PVC pipe percussion
Public domain Unity asset smooth jazz.
Cyberpunk level - industrial metal
"We like the paiiiin..... we like the paiiiiiin..... we like the paiiiin.... we like...... pain"
"pain.......pain......."
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Y-you shut your whore mouth right now! This is one of the jewels of that entire soundtrack.
and who could forget:
"... nowhere to run.... I'll rub your bum.... EVERYTHING BURNS.... EVERYTHING BURNS..."
or
"... cuz it makes me feel better..." x 1000
I will say that I do completely like the "Lift me Up" song. It rewards the general drudgery with intermittent tranquil harmony
See you just have to find the thing that works for you. For me, I just love the variety and the odd little surprises (most of the stuff you can hear on the OST vol. 1)
And if I don't like it, I just shoot every goddamn speaker and radio in sight. That usually does the trick.

Amen
I will have none of that. That soundtrack is the best thing about the game.
With either 90s techno or 80s synths in another track.
Underwater level : PTSD from that temple
And the music speeds up when you start running out of air.
Thanks, now it's theme song is stuck in my head again.
Water? PTSD from Hexen 2
Now that's a name I haven't heard for a looooong time.
Relevant video:
Seth? Yesssss I was right
Do you know La Hee?
I recommend viewing this for the most immersive la hee experience
Soken survived cancer while also composing one of the best songs for the single best story arc. He gets a free La Hee.
What level/level design would use Kpop?
Discuss
Inner city/theme park area, especially if it's nighttime with lots of neon. Maybe a carnival pier.
I need to work on my education.
I know what drums are and I think the xylophone is a wooden glockenspiel.
Tbh I’m surprised you know what a glockenspiel is but not a xylophone, lol (For the record… it’s pretty much just a bigger glockenspiel, yeah)
SHP9500? Nice.
If this was real, the poster would have just listed the General MIDI program numbers.
Hiroki Kikuta: Everything vaguely polynesian somehow.
I dunno... It slightly remembers me of Terraria soundtracks. Or RuneScape. I played them a long time ago, so I can't exactly remember.
