Soundtrack Release

At long last, Songbringer's soundtrack has been released. The game's glitchy, somewhat-procedural bass music has been codified into the form of an album for the pleasure of your ear drums.

This is a gapless album. One song flows into the next to create a seamless, coherent whole. As such, it plays best start to finish rather than being shuffled.

Did you know the game actually has all music in procedural form? The rhythms remain constant yet the melody can change slightly depending on your world seed and dungeon number. For example, world seed PEANUT might have a dungeon 1 in the key of A while world seed YELLOW might have it in the key of C#. Additionally, the game's music is adaptive, so when there are more enemies on screen the music gets more intense by adding layers.

In a way, this soundtrack is like a snapshot of Songbringer's procedural music content. It starts with the first song in the key of F# then using harmonic mixing takes steps of five to arrive at the next song in the key of C#. Thus the circle of fifths is used to lend the soundtrack a sense of cohesion and continuity. Note that some of the original songs have been split into multiple tracks.

23 tracks, 50 minutes.
