Truly amazing work! I have been wanting to change up my music for awhile now, but I couldn't put into words what I wanted. This, this is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
This is so ... evocative. I can really see this becoming a thing, both the game and the aural aesthetic. Perhaps the best science fiction storytelling and music is being born in the smouldering, suicidal wreckage of the old IPs.
Are you the composer for this?! Holy crap, I came across this while looking for new OSTs to listen to as I work as on my thesis. I've listened to over 15,000 OSTs starting from games, movies, random mobile apps, TTRPGs/TPRGs over the years since the 80s. This is a powerful OST. Questions. 1. What inspired you to write this? 2. How did you determine the "mood" and "genre" for each track? 3. Inspirations for this OST? 4. As always, favourite song from this OST?
Thanks man! Im glad you like it. Most of the inspiration came from the concept art that leyline press commissioned by some very talented artists. Also we tried to fit the genre to a lofi post apocalyptic western based music genre that you might find people playing and creating in the salvage union universe. I tried to come up with different mood tracks, like combat tracks or atmospheric tracks, town tracks stuff like that. Im a big Bear McCreary fan, and anything of Yoko Kanno's and Joe Hisaishi. And favourite game composer is Will Roget at the moment :) Funny enough my fav track is Bad Feeling, it was one of the first original tracks I wrote back at the start of the project in 2022, it was that one and Salvage pt. II that shaped the concept of the OST. Thanks for the question man and for listening!
I keep coming back to the first track. It's the opening credits to the ultimate scifi TV show. "Salvage Union." On Netflix or something. Canceled after one season despite being a massive critical success. Beautiful work, Greg!
Thank you so much for the kind words Dave! I’m glad you like that one, I’m very happy how that came out in the end although there is still a few things I’d love to tweak haha. Thanks again!
Thanks mate, glad you liked that one. A lot of the beats I used a drum sequencer called XO by XLN audio, you can add all your drum samples into it and then cycle through the samples till you find something that fits what your looking for. It has a pretty easy to use covert to .wav stem function to so you can produce the beat more with kit separation. Say if you want to side chain your kick and snare its makes it pretty easy workflow 😊
Thanks man ha I'm glad you like. I spent forever trying to mix that one, used to have a completely different ending too. Glad you noticed the bass line too :D
Wow, I came here thinking I would hear it for 5 minutes and then go on. But WOW. Not only Ive found an amazing TTRPG Im gonna introduce my friends to next weekend but also an amazing ost. So many emotions while keeping that reminicence to western music!! Would love to have a download of each track in lossless FLAC or smth like that.
Thanks for the nice comment! Yeah the game is amazing, such a cool concept for a TTRPG and leyline did such a good job developing it. The lossless flac's are up on bandcamp, sorry it's not the most ideal seeing as the streaming services compress it down to mp3. If you sub to Tidal service they are going lossless flac from the 10th of April for the few handful that sub to that 😂
This album is awesome. I've been listening to the individual songs repeatedly for the last few weeks. Glad that there is now an album version. Is there a way to download the individual songs for offline listening? (Like is it for sale on Bandcamp or something similar?)
Thanks so much mate glad you like it! Yeah it’s up on bandcamp and iTunes to download. If it’s not individual then just message me on here and I can send over which ever ones you want 👍
