      I dunno… According to this, Gerudo Valley should have a sitar and zurna flute, but instead the flamenco jam comes in hot with the Spanish guitar and trumpet.

        Different kind of dessert.

        Zitar and zurna flute for deserts with camels and sand dunes. Spanish guitar, trumpet, and I think drum rim? for deserts with cliffs and tumbleweeds.

    Sounds like a good game.

  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Ok uh, barely related, but:

    Is there an actual name for the genre of music of Half Life 2, Ep1/2, Alyx?

    Its like… progressive rock but sometimes also hardrock guitar riffs, but also with … basically ‘experimental’ industrial/techno usually mixed in quite well, and then also very often with essentially breakbeat drumming, and a lot of it also uses some pretty uncommon time signatures and switchups.

    And then sometimes there is either classical instrumentation, or, essentially some kind of filtered or synth version of it.

    … I literally fail to describe it succinctly, I don’t know how, I’m not aware of anything else that really sounds consistently like it.

    source
    • AlexLost@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      So, like Nine Inch Nails then. That’s called just industrial.

      source
      • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I mean, NiN and industrial in general has many elements in common with it…

        I dunno, its less … orthodox, in time signatures, than basically all NiN I can remember listening to, with the exception of Ghosts.

        Ghosts has a lot more just… weird timings, but they’re also paired with melodies and chords that are dissonant or off in some way…

        Not much of Ghosts is high tempo, ‘action-y’, and HL2’s melodies are actually not as odd and dissonant, they’re more conventional, just often played with unconventional instruments/synths.

        And, NiN’s drumming, cymbals and such is usually nowhere near as frantic.

        … Maybe I just don’t have a wide enough industrial palette, and I guess maybe yeah, ‘HL2 style’ is best described as a subgenre of industrial?

    I don’t mean to offend anyone but I cannot respect you as a human being, let alone a sentient organism, if you enjoy video game music at any time other than whilst playing a video game.

    “I like the music in doom, it’s weirdly ambient despite being so aggressive.” Perfectly fine, even respectable. “I was listening to the mortal kombat soundtrack the other day…” You are lesser than a sea cucumber.

      Was the last time you listened to game music when it was all chip and midi? There’s some beautiful and moving music in games.

      source
      • Aqarius@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Hell, even with the chip tunes alone, it’s amazing what people managed to squeeze out of a sine, a saw, and a square channel. Bloody Tears comes to mind. Or Willy’s theme from Megaman 2.

        It’s excellent for the setting it was made for, but is lacking compared to the collected discography of generations of musicians tuned to at-home listening.

        I listen to opera at the opera. I listen to symphonies at the symphony, or at home if I’m particularly nostalgic. I listen to game music when I’m playing games. Each has an environment crafted around it to maximize enjoyment. I can’t even listen to edm without dimming the lights.

        Listening to a game soundtrack made to evoke specific emotions at specific times? It feels like the point was wholly missed and vast horizons entirely ignored.

      I could sympathize with your point if VGM was still the blips and blops of cheap midi synths like it was in Doom’s hayday. Heck, I still someshat sympathize with the idea that VGM just doesn’t work as well as albums for making a pure listening experience because the game inherently restricts it’s format (though I’d say it depends on the game). But VGM by [current year] has gotten so good I must ask what VGM you have heard. Would you make the same claim for film soundtracks?

      Unsolicited VGM suggestions that I think prove my point

      Expedition 33, Neon White, Ultrakill, Team Fortress 2, Hyper Light Drifter

      • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I do feel the same way about movie soundtracks. My partner pulled the full interstellar soundtrack into their chill out playlist and I wince a little every time.

        I liked the music in bioshock, shadow of the colossus, kingdom hearts 3, horizon, undertale, etc., quite a lot. But devoting time to listening to it, rather than modern music made for home listening just doesn’t appeal to me. It feels like pulling out a jigsaw when you need a dremel. Like, you can do that, certainly, but there are infinitely better options

      Look, I think gamers should definitely expand their tastes because I know a few who almost exclusively listen to games soundtrack, but that doesn’t mean games soundtracks have no artistic value outside of the game… now, not all of them do, but it’s not all black and white
