![]() ![]() The full unused bass version can be listened to here.Īn early version of this track's calm loop plays in the December 2019 preview trailer. The slow-paced, bass-heavy segment in the soundtrack release originates from early experiments where the soundtrack adapted to the weapon in use, which was scrapped for interrupting tempo and combat intensity. The third clip is sourced from a later track, " Cerberus", which used to play in the earliest version of ULTRAKILL's intro. ![]() This samples a chord from an old, low-quality recording of "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite. Second section while approaching the Piercer Arena.įourth section plays through the rest of the level.Ġ-3: Fourth section plays throughout the mission. Released on Bandcamp and YouTube September 11, 2020.Ġ-1: Different parts play in different sections. This album makes up the music of ULTRAKILL's prelude as well as most of the music in ULTRAKILL Act I. Act 3's soundtrack will presumably become available after it launches. The soundtrack for ACT I: INFINITE HYPERDEATH and ACT II: IMPERFECT HATRED are available now. The ULTRAKILL OST is divided into individual albums, typically coinciding with either the game's own acts or EPs of Prime Sanctum themes with secret level song or two. Frequently sampled by ULTRAKILL's songs is the Amen break, an insanely widespread drum sample that is frequently used in popular music. Many of the songs use MIDI tracks as a base, overlaying actual instruments to add depth, giving the game's soundtrack its classic yet modern feel. Much of the soundtrack is fast-paced metal or rock with breakbeat, mixed with some calm songs interspersed throughout. The OST is available on Hakita's Bandcamp under the alias Heaven Pierce Her. You’ve probably heard it already.A majority of ULTRAKILL's soundtrack was composed by Hakita himself, with the exception of Clair de Lune, Sourire d'Avril, BWV 639, Take Care, Beethoven's 7th Symphony part II, Tenebre Rosso Sangue, and The Cyber Grind. Isn’t it nice? Try this one, “Fantaisie-Impromptu,” aka “ Fantasy Impromptu.” It’s one of Chopin’s most performed works, its allegro agiato (fast and cheerful but played in an agitated manner) tempo a fine showcase of a pianist’s skill. Hearing that music, which my mother used to play when I was much younger than I am now, in a colourful anime video game, is jarring, but comforting. To me, “Raindrops” is about nature persevering through dark moments. The piece starts out light and whimsical, then grows darker and more dramatic, only to resolve in a reprise of the lighter opening tune. This piece is known for the A♭ notes that repeat throughout, which reminds listeners of the gentle patter of rain. 15,” “Raindrops” is one of Chopin’s 24 preludes, short piano pieces covering each of the major and minor keys. While veteran RPG composer Motoi Sakuraba does a fantastic job composing the game’s original music, it’s Chopin’s work, as performed by pianist Stanislav Bunin, that carries us through the adventure. The game is split into eight chapters, each centered around one of Chopin’s popular works. The constant musical references are endearing, giving the game a lighthearted tone that balances out the game’s occasional trips to the real world, where Chopin lays dying. An anime-styled version of the famed pianist fights alongside a group of colourful adventurers with music-inspired names like Polka, Allegretto, and Beat against villains like Count Waltz. It’s a 30- to 40-hour turn-based role-playing game that takes place in the final hours before the 39-year-old composer’s death by tuberculosis. That’s right, come at me.Įternal Sonata ( playlist / longplay / VGMdb) is a delightfully odd video game. This morning I am totally cheating by presenting you with tracks from Eternal Sonata, the Bandai Namco RPG that features music composed by 19th-century Polish classical superstar Frédéric Chopin. Welcome to Morning Music, Kotaku’s ongoing hangout for folks who love video games and the cool-arse sounds they make. ![]()
