Randomly came across this yesterday. Bought it as soon as I listened to the first two tracks!
A bit of information though:
Globulous is a puzzle game for iOS made by Firestarter Games. The soundtrack is written and performed by zircon and Jeff Ball. I’m a recent fan of zircon (The “Fittest” OST is fantastic.) and I’ve been a fan of Jeff Ball for a little longer, so you can see that this collaboration would be very interesting to me. I would try and describe it but their description sums it up very well.
Our inspirations for this soundtrack were really varied, ranging from the soft ambience of Machinarium’s score, the electro-acoustic fusion of Bastion, and the retro flavor of NES-era chiptunes and basic synths. Creating a cohesive style took experimentation; we played off of each other’s techniques and compositional styles. We wanted the music to be exciting and interesting, without being too chaotic or distracting.
The tracks “Aurora Magnitude”,”Dawn Oblique” and “Cavern Omega” are my favourites here. Two of those feature Jeff Ball’s wonderful violin playing. I will say that the album makes for very good coding/studying music.
I think that’s enough procrastination for me now. I shall leave you with the track “Aurora Magnitude” and I hope you enjoy!
now playing!
