I love continuous repeating varying high pitched arpeggios like this in songs. It creates this ethereal quality to the music. They often use this for underwater or ice/snow levels, the most well-known example being probably the underwater theme in the 1st Donkey Kong Country. The piano gives it a sorrowful/nostalgic feel. The guitar then brings the mood up, making the song feel hella cool 😎 The piano then takes back over, doing some darkly beautiful melancholic melody, keeping the listener invested. Later the strings have their turn to shine for a short bit, giving some poignant notes, before giving it back to the hella cool guitar. 😎 It generally gives unsafe/uncertain vibes, like you're a little baby that could die at any time... But you'll have fun fighting and facing adversity. It reminds me a lot of Maridia theme in Super Metroid, in terms of mainly just vibes. All in all a really wicked tune. Loving it. 💙
This song was the reason I downloaded the Antibirth OST mod for Repentance. Now after listening to the entire OST, I just won't launch Repentance if I don't have these bangers playing.
i rlly like the fact that this theme is a bit chaotic but also stays to some sort of rhythm to stay true to its name terminal lucidity which is a return to consciousness and some sort of normal life before deatg
Listening to this song takes me to another world, one where llamas rule an entire kingdom and where everyone serves them by power I don't know if it's because I have a strange imagination, but your works continue to take me to different worlds because they are so unique and special 2024, going for 2025 and I still appreciate your work you are amazing ❤🌟
“Wow! You manage to handle the smoke, literally. But you can’t cool off now as an enemy will simply heat up the battle with a single molotov. To make it even worse, that giant chicken lover is back but his love with chicken wings grows stronger, and now his chicken wing becomes his very own personal first aid kit.”
I'm not sure if it was the intention, but the sound that comes around 00:41 makes me think of like... someone throwing a rock at a sign attached to a lamppost and making it spin around wildly ... In short, vandalism
As always, loving the music, fire as always 🔥 I can't help but ask how isaac vol 4 is going though, It's something I haven't really heard anything from since the original vol 3 came out. And I'm still really looking forward to hearing it 😅 Is there any place where I can potentially follow any updates on how it's going?
So I've just been /really/ busy. I'm planning to take a month long work/holiday hybrid thing in September where I hope to spend some time playing Isaac and if I get some momentum going I'll start on volume 4. I just want to enjoy it and really get under the skin of it, and I haven't played Repentance enough at this point. If I start, I'll post updates on the channel because I'm keeping away from other SM.
@mudeth IMHO, you've earned your fair share of breaks considering the stellar soundtrack(s) we have already- and thanks for sticking with us ❤ you've worked so hard and done such a great job on this stuff, I always find myself coming back to listen to more
