Music from the computer game Hylics 2. This track was composed and performed by Chuck Salamone (c) Mason Lindroth & Chuck Salamone store.steampow... mason-lindroth... Soundtrack available for purchase at: masonlindroth....
I like how the song name can be taken both as "singing" (as in burning hot), and "singing" (as in singing a song) because its as if the sand is singing to you.
IMO Warpos are so mutated that they become mindless (and suicidal? idk) So they will never grow into adult Wayne who is far much stronger and become another potential enemy for Gibby, hence rendered 'harmless'.
I like the implications that _someone_ fed a larva wine to find that out, intentionally or not. “Hey, cool Wayne thing you have there. Where’d you get it?” “Oh, I just gave this baby some of my wine.”
My god, man... this game is... just such an experience, I don't even know how to say it but this game just inspired me creatively in such a way that I never thought anything would, thank you Mason and Chuck you guys made something that surely will carry with me.
Thank you for the kind words. Mason and I appreciate that. Go forth and make great things. We hope our collaboration on the music for Hylics 2 continues to provide you with inspiration uhhh...forever!
Having Mason consider me as a collaborator for this project (and future endeavors) has been so rewarding. He has helped me grow as an artist exponentially. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to compose music that embellishes his art.
@@chuck_salamone as a random fan excited to see the real Chuck- just want to say I hope I get to hear your music on more games if not another one of Mason's projects. Hylics, especially 2 is inspiring. Developed so recently, by so few hands, and it's iconic! Big thanks to both of you for the work you do. It's great stuff.
I got here ready to take on the world, but in the strangest way this song hit me with dread no other final lair theme could. I just froze. It's so chill, but intimidating beyond belief.
Agreed. Listening to the soundtrack in full lately, and I keep coming back to Singing Sand. Something about the step of the beat at a minute ish in... I don't know. I get this feeling like there's a path being carved before me. Do I walk it?
I like how part of this song sounds like a more sinister version of Xeno Arcadia. The entire song sounds so chill but also strangely intimidating, which fits the location it plays in.
I notice the almost the same chord prog at 0:59 is used in Xeno Arcadia, That's a Big Stick and maybe a couple other tracks, almost like an audio motif that keeps you grounded throughout the game. Cool stuff, great work.
I still haven't gotten around to playing the game yet, but I keep coming back to this soundtrack. It's wibbly wobbly in a way that most chill music isn't and I love it.
that's the first ost that i heard from hylics 2. spotify randomly added this to my shuffle and i was really obsessed with it. this sountrack was the reason that i bought hylics & hylics 2 and here we are. i couldn't thank more for making this game & ost, game turned out to be the best gaming experience i've ever had! so thank you for making this ost:)
fitting desert/hot sand theme. feels like being in an arid Arizona summer and watching the concrete contort and twist from the rising heat vapours. also tfw the sand sings
As a person from Tucson, this theme fits the desert way too well. Plus the clay houses, crazy people, weird plant life and animals - I might as well be living in the Hylics world :)
probably my favourite song in the game, I only just found out singing sand was a real phenomenon, and when I heard the sound it made I just though "damn this would make a good hylics sample" :^)
I read someone called Mason Lindroth's art 'timeless' today. I think Chuck Salamone's music in the game is just as much. It's almost like a 70s psychedelic rock sound but better than any of that. Almost like a water level from Super Mario 64, almost like No Quarter from Led Zeppelin..? I can only say 'almost like' because nothing is quite like it. I'd love a guitar tab for these chords.
Bingo. That’s the vibe, although, I wrote this song initially for the sage room theme. Mason wanted to to be for a whole bigger area (foglast) instead!
@@hiphyro I'm so far removed from it now that I genuinely don't even sound like this anymore. It doesn't feel like I made it, but I suppose that's what happens with the passing of time.
I really hope Chuck and Mason keep working together, the combination of experimental prog rock and bizarre setting are what makes this one of my favorite games.
