The Amazing Digital Circus - Main Theme (Orchestral) 

Holy moly a million views people really ARE imagining silly scenarios in their head with this soundtrack

absolutley INSANE how unsettling this is. like it's just fucking wrong. the choir being slightly discordant, plus the bombastic and overwhelming feel of it all. makes my guts churn.

Me realizing I have to wait 6 more months until the second episode:

6 year old me realizing that school wasn't only a single day:

When it hits you that you're an adult and the weight of reality hits you SO hard...

Props to Kinger, He's been inside the circus the longest(among the currently non-abstracted) and his sanity is still on 30% while Pomni has just arrived and her sanity is already at 0.1% Also Jax probably won't be abstracted anytime soon, he seems to actually enjoy his time in the circus.

Me suddenly gaining conciseness at 4 years old:

Me at 2AM: ah finally a good night's sleep The entire weight of consciousness, existence, and mortality about to be streamed directly into my brain:

Me realizing Velma is going to have season 3 while all the other good shows being cancelled

7 year old me when I realized that the sun is gonna explode in 5 billion years: It is what it is😔

You can literally feel the dread and insanity in this song. Imagine being in her shoes. Your body has transformed into something unrecognizable, You can’t remember your name and you’re in some sort of wacky dystopia and the people around you are just acting like everything is okay while you try your best to leave and go back to your old life only to be told that there is no way out and that the only thing you can do is just accept that this is your new reality. That sounds absolutely terrifying

When you’re in your Uber and you get a notification on your phone that says *”Your Uber has arrived”*

This theme is gonna be so nostalgic after 10 years

I love the feeling of dread this track gives. You really feel Pomni's despair as she's forced to accept this as her new life now. There's no turning back, only *wacky shenanigans* :)))))))

What’s so great about this scene is that for the whole episode, Pomni has had barley any time to process her situation. She definitely understands the gravity of it, but her feelings have to be put to the side because she’s being forced to engage in a wacky adventure. All until the end, where the conflict has been resolved and she gets to rest. And thats when it finally hits her: *She’s never getting out of here.*

Me at the new year countdown while everyone else was celebrating:

I am impressed by just how well The Amazing Digital Circus is able to portray pure dread. "Pomni" has literally been locked in an endless purgatory, with no way out in sight. A fate that not only is naturally terrifying to the human mind, but also is a fate that nobody, no matter who they are, deserves to endure. I feel like this series would be a great way to describe mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety, because of way it displays feeling of dread and hopelessness. Nobody really knows where this series is going, but if I were to predict, I would assume that is has some elements of psychological horror and/or other types of horror.

This is my favorite scene from the pilot, it's so disturbing, and the music really does fit the scene.

This whole scene made me feel itchy inside, the pure dread of Pomni's situation, and imagining yourself in a situation like that where you were trapped and could never leave, all the while the people around you act like nothing is wrong. It's all kinds of icky and it's SOOOO EFECTIVE. A+ writing, hands down Glitch have struck gold with this

the artistic decision to make the food low poly, *fake*, was amazing

Lil bro playing with me in the console 0:11 Looks at the controller that i gave him 0:15 Realizes that controller was disconnected 0:19 Looks at me with murderous anger 0:36

Your fate is sealed, your past is irrelevant, and accept your new wonderful wacky world of chaos and fun. Welcome to Digital Circus

I love how this song just captures the feeling of how completely and underly helpless and terrifying Pomni's situation is. It's "I am completely fucked" in musical form.

Me realizing that reading is technically just hallucinating while staring at a tree corpse: Edit: y’all it’s a joke I know it’s just paper💀

When you learn that one family "secret" and it all makes sense

To be honest, if GLITCH literally ended the series on this ending, I wouldn't even be mad. It actually feels very sad but fitting. Pomni would be trapped in the circus for eternity, and would have to come to terms with it. You can just see this thought slowly set in as she starts to smile. "I'm going to be trapped here forever." It's so bittersweet.

i love how when the orchestra first kicks in it's like the song is struggling to keep itself in a major key, really fits the situation

oh yes "your new home" is probably short but one of the greatest musical pieces that I've heard

Everyone when trying to type pomni in the search bar:

I like how it starts all wondrous like a regular kids show ending, but it gets louder and louder and even changes key to really cement Pomni’s decent into madness as she realizes that this carnival madhouse is her new home

Me realizing that my favorite show was cancelled by Netflix.

24 year old me witnessing my old friends getting married and getting a job while I'm stuck in college and still single

realizing that The amazing digital circus became the next elsagate in less than a week

This rendition really helps sell the idea of “Remember! You’re here forever!”

Jesus. This is probably one of the most terrifying and suffocating themes I have ever heard in any series. really conveys the fact that everything is over for Pomni, that this place is where she will be forever, until she eventually falls into madness and becomes a monster like Kaufmo... although perhaps that is a better fate than remaining conscious of your new eternity all the time. I also feel in a way that the song is basically a "I give up" from Pomni, like a last swan song before giving in to despair, you can literally FEEL the sentiment of "it's over". It's genius. Honestly, my applause to both Gooseworx and the music team. The way they manage to transmit so much with just music and without a single word is to be admired.

Me realizing I won't be a child but an adult with new responsibilities of taking care of myself, and my finances which I have no idea how to do while balancing my studies.

Me when school comes back and I have to deal with new annoying people:

This whole plot is so sublime. It’s so endless and great and incomprehensible you just can’t tell if it’s heaven or hell.

me when I graduated from high school and realized I have to spend the rest of my life working to make money just to have my basic needs met

Me when I realise that you work at school to find a work all to end as a vegetable and remember old memories

when you get your first part time job and realize your gonna have to do this every week if you want to go to college

God, Pomni's reaction is so damn chilling. Not only is she forced to finally realize she's completely trapped, she has to SMILE through it to keep her sanity, because she also realizes that if she doesn't, she'll become abstracted and just dumped into that pit. Fucking hell this show is so dark.

WE AREN'T MAKING IT OUT OF THE DIGITAL CIRCUS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🗣🔊

Me when gummigoo suddenly gets killed for no reason:

Me at the tender age of 17 realizing I'll be stuck with chronic pain for my entire life because it is, in fact, chronic:

“Despite all my rage, I’m still a jester in a digital circus”

How long do you think it will take before pomni tries to kill caine Edit: NO MORE COMMENTING JESUS CHRIST

"Maths next mate." "maths next mate." "maths next mate" *MATHS NEXT MATE.*

이노래를 들을때마다 현재에 존재하는 모든것에 회의가 들고 철학에 빠지는 느낌이야

This scene is grandiose. I've never seen a character have a reasonable reaction to being trapped in a foreign world up until this. As someone else in the comments said, this is the ONLY moment of the episode where Pomni was not talking to someone or doing something or running away. It's the first time she had the time to think a little bit and process what happens and, for once, we have an actual normal reaction. She's going absolutely nuts realizing she can NOT leave this place ever. If there's one thing this studio nailed with TADC, it's emotions. this is INSANE

goes hard

People being pissy about waiting 6 months for a new episode: Deltarune fans waiting an entire 3 years for new content:

this scene GENUINELY sent shivers down my spine like holy shit????

I like how from 0:21-0:43 it sounds vaguely like the kind of compressed synth orchestral music you'd hear on a SNES or PS1, emphasizing the fact that, as the Circus is apparently within an old computer system no-one has remembered to turn off, it's been stuck in the wacky wonders of the 90s Internet for a looooooong time, making the dread of Pomni's apparently eternal future stuck at this place all the more disturbing.

Love how the volume gradually increases lol

12 year old me finally having a little brother and thinking that we would have so much fun, until he starts crying for 2 and a half hours straight

i gotta say, out of all the theme renditions i’ve heard, i like the one at the very beginning of the episode that’s bitcrushed the most. i hope we can get a full version

You know how good of a theme this is when it's the ending theme and is considered the main theme

I woke up and realized I hadn’t seen the person I loved most for five months.

Me when the weekend is over and the cycle starts again

I never felt so fucking insane listening to this and it replicates the exact feeling of going down into insanity like THIS IS INSANE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR MUSIC

when you realize you'll never relive your childhood ever again:

8 year old me when I randomly gain consciousness in a Walmart parking lot (Shit has hit the fan)

Me realizing that I have to work for the next 50 years of my life after graduation

The “thousand yard stare” that Pomni does before looking at the digital food hits different.

Me when I put on some weird VR headset thing and got stuck on a digital circus with other people (oops silly me): Edit: thanks guys y'all are goofy

Me after realising I have to go to school for 20% of my life

Just moved into a new house. Listening to this helped a bit.

The track's official name is "Your New Home" for those wondering. GLITCH has released the full ost of the pilot on youtube and other streaming services.

There is something seriously unsettling when thinking about Pomni’s situation. She has been ripped from the reality that she was born and lived her whole life in, and thrown into one that is artificial and digitized. Pushing aside the fears of existential annihilation (the fear that the simulation your within simply shuts down and ceases to exist, either destroying or trapping your soul in the process), what ends up being really tragic is that without any ability to leave her digital dimension, and when all of her senses can no longer sense the reality she grew up in, she loses the ability to sense herself. Her fabricated body is the only thing she can sense, and while she knows it isn’t really her body, there is no longer any physical proof from her perspective that it isn’t. The only thing that attaches her mind to actual reality is her memories, but without any ability to know how long you can live without a true physical body, then how do you know how long your memories can survive. She has no way of knowing whether her mind has been transplanted into the digital reality, or it is still in actual reality, and being tricked into thinking it’s in another reality. Without any ability to sense her true self, then how can she know she’s her true self? Especially if she can’t even remember her real name. She wants to believe that she had a real life outside of the simulation, and she wants to return to it desperately. But now from her perspective there is zero proof that reality ever existed. There is now only, from perspective, just as much chance of leaving the digital reality as there was of leaving the one she believes she inhabited. It is in these circumstances where she’ll question the very idea she even had a life outside the simulation to begin with. Her very idea of reality is being torn between memory and sense, and the tension caused by this internal conflict will destroy her mind. From this point on, she will never know which reality lied or is lying to her, causing the destruction of all that she thinks is her, and that which is truly her.

8 years old kid realizing his dad couldn't pull out in time and now it must live a meaningful and happy life

Why is this already nostalgic to me

I have a feeling that this theme would be super nostalgic by next 10 years.

It gives me chills it feels like a ending to a movie

The mood of this show is so unique and messed up… *I absolutely love it*

When the teacher scolds the whole class for not completing tasks and says “Look what a great guy John is, follow his example” And at this time you just nod and say “Yes, yes...” But he didn’t do anything himself😳😳

I believe that each character in the show was given a role. Caine himself in the promotional video said “here’s Pomni and her signature smile!” despite only frowning aside from her grin at the end. Jax seems to recognize this and plays along to the role he was given as the trouble maker to not become abstracted. This may be significant to point out the true purpose of the digital circus. The circus’ purpose--in my opinion--is supposed to be a sanctuary for people’s wishes. Since Caine talks about Pomni’s smile so much, maybe in the real world her wish was to be happier. It could also be where they have regrets. Maybe Pomni regrets not being happier.

I think the fact that the horror elements are treated more as an underlying thing acting in the background while the goofy stuff happens to draw your attention away from them absolutely pays off. The look that Pomni makes during this scene when she's trying to force herself to smile has unnerved me far more than anything in [insert your favorite analog horror series here] because it perfectly captures the cocktail of shitty feelings that come from forcing yourself to try to be positive in an objectively terrible situation. Especially one as existentially devastating as this.

God damn this track is so well composed, it’s timeless already

You're transported to a new reality. Your friends, family, memories, name, identity, *GONE.* Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus. Are you ready for tomorrow’s adventure?

My jaw dropped with how good it sounded. I keep that part on loop!

When the food is burnt but the inside is still cold

POV: > Be me > 13th birthday > Big fun party at nice restaurant > chilling with my cousin who has a job as he tells me how it is > slowly overtime begin realising that in only 5 years I’m gonna have to find a job, buy a house, work for my money and have to pay bills > existential crisis > can’t enjoy birthdays anymore

The theme just sends chills down your spine, I feel like that its always in pomni's head, just that theme, If I was in here situation, I would go insane too. I see why kaufmo abstracted now.

What I love about the ending piece is how it starts off so gentle, then gradually becomes this huge orchestral piece. In a way it represents Pomni finally coming to terms with the new life she's been handed. She finally has time to process things and as she does, the music begins to become louder and much more apparent. Just like her understanding of the fact that *she can't leave*. Plus it's the same exact tune that started off the episode in such a cherry and upbeat tone! God, it gives me chills!!!

Me, a week before my school year ends (The cycle repeats again)

Me after 5th grade realizing im gonna be locked up in school for another 12 years:

A bunch of people stuck in a place that's basically an unending nightmare, just massively coping so as not to lose their last pieces of humanity and get thrown into The Cellar. Disturbingly poetic when Pomni gets to the last stage of grief and forces a twitchy, crooked smile onto her face.

"And you said you'd love to be in a world of fantasy and wonder, but noooo. The moment you're actually there it's all screams and terrors, no laughs and cheers."

When it's Sunday and Monday is right around the corner:

5 year old me realizing moms name is not actually mom:

This theme is already nostalgic and heartbreaking.

Nothing says "welcome to your new life" like eating your first meal after your first failed escape attempt

Me when a manga that i really liked gets cancelled or axed and realizing that i never will see the full potencial of that manga

6 year old me realizing that school isn't better because you don't sleep and you have homework:

This theme makes the vibe completely unique, gives off a hopelessness + acceptance feeling but also a sense of denial too. Can’t be any more bothered about it, I’d have lost in on the first day in Pomni’s shoes too 💀

This scene is so fucking good. The main theme slightly changed to make it feel more uneasy, like we’ve discovered a secret that we weren’t supposed to know. And then the the fucking forced smile at the end as you have to accept this new reality knowing that if you break you basically just perish. And honestly that’s the scary part, the fact being a mindless monster is better than being conscious. You can’t even end it all because Caine will just bring you back. It’s fucking horrifically beautiful.

Me just standing in the podium forgetting what I said for my class project:

Me on my period realizing i'm only 19 and will have to endure this sh1t until I'm 60

THERES NO REASON FOR A SONG TO BE THIS GOOD, IT FEELS LIKE IM FLOATING
