I really had to animate this piece from the OST cover they released. This needs to be a full wallpaper asap. I set the rhythm to Quixotic because I feel like that's THE song for this image.
Quixotic, Feel and Divine Service are my top 3,
but honestly Someday is a sleeper, it makes me think of Romeo a lot for some reason.
They're all so good.
For someone who never played a souls-like before ever this was the best first experience. I sincerely hope Neowiz/Nough/Round8 wins something at GOTY - nominated for best art direction and best RPG, but we all know there's gonna be a BG3 sweep.
Tough matchup 😭
This is the ending portion of an original soundtrack I made back in 2021. Not sure if I'm going to use it in the series, since it doesn't sound as good as I remember (it sounds silly actually). It was for a chase scene.
'There was one I noticed particularly, about the man out late at night upon a fairy hill, who heard the sound of a woman singing “sad and plaintive” from the very rocks of the hill. He listened more closely and heard the words: “I am the wife of the Laird of Balnain /The Folk have stolen me over again.”
So the listener hurried to the house of Balnain and found there the owner gone and his wife and baby son missing. The man hastily sought out a priest and brought him back to the fairy knoll. The priest blessed the rocks of the dun and sprinkled them with holy water. Suddenly the night grew darker and there was a loud noise as of thunder. Then the moon came out from behind a cloud and shone upon the woman, the wife of Balnain, who lay exhausted on the grass with her child in her arms. The woman was tired, as though she had traveled far, but could not tell where she had been, nor how she had come there.'
(Diana Gabaldon - Outlander)
Both the scene and Bear McCreary's music were so convincingly spot on, that in my enthusiastic ignorance I thought, at that point in time, this was an authentic Scottish ballad. That it is not, is a testimony to both Herself and McCreary's resourcefulness.
A few years ago I created the soundtrack for acclaimed short film 'Artist Depiction: Steve R Dodd’ which tells the story of an artist with no phone, internet or computer who has been creating extraordinary sci-fi artworks since the 1970s but only recently came into the public eye via social media. Soundtrack out now:
Looks like I never posted the BtWD album cover here, but might as well! Our comic Kickstarter reached its first stretch goal recently, which grants a free digital copy of this album with every backer tier!
