While putting one of my sons to sleep, i always play some calming/lofi music after we pray. Your music is one of the four game ost that i use for this (others are Majula theme from DS2, Child Of Light, and Sonic Frontiers island movements). Also, Lonely job is my favorite song to hear while mining in the game. Guess the upbeat music fits the title as you would want some upbeat music while alone and working.
Great content, and what absolutely phenomenal soundtrack you put together!
I like this music so much, can you tell me what the genre is called?
Hmm, I'm not sure. Downtempo electronic, maybe? You should check out the work of Amos Roddy (Kingdom, Citizen Sleeper) if you'd like to find more music like this :)
@@CameronPaxton thanks 👍
Loved this.
Really glad you enjoyed it!
laser party is such a jam. great job!
Thanks for taking the time to listen :D
Great idea, nice work!
Thanks so much!
Great soundtrack. Excited for volume 2!
I've got some good news for you :D - ruclips.net/video/U8fRq9D_Fa8/видео.html
@@CameronPaxton didn't even see it lol, i'll take a listen
I'm sure you didn't master this because your work is very different from others on the bandamp site and your video of the track analysis, I'm sure someone helped you do this I hear a completely different sound I hear the sound of an analog
there may be a mixing
Hey there! I'm a bit confused by your phrasing. But to be clear: yes, I composed, mixed, and mastered this myself :)
this sounds like that one song in oneshot but remixed
Not sure I've heard what you're talking about, but I hope that's a good thing!
@@CameronPaxton ruclips.net/video/ssIobq_j8OQ/видео.html
I'm a bit late to the party here but you have to be the most underrated composer out there. I just picked up Dome Keeper yesterday and I was surprised how amazing the music was. Your music is beautiful, keep it up 👍
That's very kind of you! Really happy you're enjoying the OST :) I'm still pretty new on the scene, Dome is my first big game. Hopefully you'll be hearing more out of me soon!
My first run was pretty hectic and barely made it. And this track was a real treat! Amazing OST 👍
Thank you! Yeah it can get pretty hairy towards the end. I wanted to make sure there was a nice, exciting track to listen to and release some of the tension :D
new player to dome keeper, actually left a review on the collapse OST think you replied, i loved watching that as i grew a new love for the victory theme. i love how each song can interoperate their own story. this one in particular i would love to hear a remix, or a full instrumental with actual instruments that would be really cool to hear, thank you for this upload, thank you for all of your music and giving us something beautiful to listen too whilst trying to defend our domes from the evils outside on the planets, whilst we mine to keep our dome together and keep us alive. thank you for everything x would really love to write lore for this game engineers logs / assesor thoughts diary entries lmao
Thanks for taking the time to watch! And I'm really happy you've been enjoying the OST. I was really aiming for something immersive, so I'm glad I achieved that for you. There is a pretty passionate community in the Discord, including some people who enjoy talking about/coming up with lore. You should join!
The structuring, sound design and even some of the melodies lead me to believe you listen to Lorn :) the chord progressions in your melodies are burnt into my brain. Its not easy to get so much emotion out of a background sound track let alone one like this that leans towards ambient. Absolutely incredible work worthy of release on Warp or Ninja Tune.
Thank you! I remember listening to "Nothing Else" when it came out, but haven't really kept up with Lorn. I'm definitely massive Boards of Canada fan though, and definitely ripped them off quite a bit on this OST :) I'm really glad you've been enjoying it. I'd love to release something on Warp, that would be quite an achievement!
The music is 50% of the reason why I bought this, I do not regret it! Brilliant work, the atmosphere is impeccable and well done!
Aw, that's very kind of you to say. Thanks so much! I'm really happy you've been enjoying listening to it. The OST was a lot of fun to make :)
Самый лучший саундтрек из игр, который я когда-либо слышал
Большое спасибо! Я очень ценю, что вы нашли время послушать это.
Too cool
Thanks for listening :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! I want to make music for video games some day and is always interesting to know how other composers work! It's an amazing video! Thank you so much again!
Glad you enjoyed it, and that you were able to find some good info and inspiration in it! Thanks for taking the time to watch :)
Absolutely loved the soundtrack in the game, lovely to see it playable outside the game, very relaxing and nuanced
Thanks so much!! Honestly it's the game jam soundtrack I'm most proud of, by far. Really happy you're enjoying it 😊
Man, this is amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing it with us. From the first moment I listened to the game's soundtrack I started asking myself how did you manage to get those synth sounds, cause they are so good. Would you mind diving a little deeper into the sound design process behind them on Pigments?
To be perfectly honest, I just kinda dig through presets until something catches my ear! It's not usually EXACTLY what I'm after, but it's close. So I don't generally mess with too much inside Pigments. I may turn the preset effects off (there is usually some sort of reverb or delay that I don't want) and I may alter things like the attack, decay, and release... but other than that not much else! Most of the tinkering I do to the sound is with the effects I put on top: saturation, reverb, delay, bit crushing, etc.
@@CameronPaxton nice!
Plot twist: the big thuds in Jetpack Requiem are from the upcoming wave of enemies on the surface
That would be cool to use monster attack sounds in a track! Never thought about that... the thuds in Jetpack Requiem are from the Relic pulsing as you carry it up to the dome :)
this reminds me of risk of rain and noita! this ost i truly a masterpiece, sounds amazing
That's very kind of you to say. Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing, like your music!
Thanks for taking the time to listen!
I love this sound track so much. How long did it take to compose?
Thank you!! I'm not sure I have an exact figure.. I started working on it in April or May 2021, and finished it in August of 2022! But I wasn't working on it constantly, and also did a lot of concurrent work on Volume 2 starting at the beginning of 2022. Sorry, I know that's not super precise 😅
No@@CameronPaxton I appreciate the response! I played the game when it came out, but have been revisiting the sound track while I'm working. The thought just popped into my head!
@@ThatHipsteCat Really happy you've been enjoying it! Working on Vols 3 & 4 now 😃
@@CameronPaxton When will they play in game?
@@electrictoazt0915 Everything that has been released so far appears in the game at some point or another 🙂
I know nothing about composing and can't probably understand the intricacies of your creative techniques, but still it's interesting to watch. But man, it really is a science in and of itself. By the way, I wanted to tell you I really enjoyed the " _Alone with one's thoughts_ " track from the engineer pack, even though it finishes so abruptly. Despite having bought the soundtrack from Steam and having re-downloaded it, I can't get these new tracks unfortunately. Every time content is added to the game I hope there is going to be new music pieces. Your work really contributes to the game's atmosphere. Thanks a lot for your work.
Thank you!! I like that track a lot too 💚 Please email me at cpaxtonmedia at the popular email service starting with "g" and I'll get those tracks to you!
thanks for uploading this
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉
I've been listening to the whole game jam megamix, and I have to say that this one really surpasses everything. Your other compositions are really good, but these one, mamamia ! Kinda remind me of Chicory for the peace it emanates. Are you the one playing clarinet, flute and saxophone ? If yes, I really hope we hear more of those for the next characters in dome keeper. Also, I'm not sure to recognise, what percussions did you play ?
Thanks so much!! This particular soundtrack was co-composed with Jerry Wilkie (wilkie_jerry on IG) who played the live woodwinds. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much other recorded music that I'm aware of, he focuses on live jazz performance. He did a fantastic job on this. The only live instrument I play is guitar, so everything else on here (percussion, piano, etc) is made using VSTs or manipulated samples. I'm away from my editing computer so I can't recall the exact percussion samples I used, but they were just cobbled together from my sample library :) Thanks for listening!
Gives me early Final Fantasy vibes.
I think everything I make will always sound a bit like Final Fantasy :) Uematsu is such a huge influence!
first also awesome game and music
i love the perfect bounce
15:16 Man I just love this short synth here, it perfectly encapsulates the relative safety and wonder amongst the solitude of an alien world. Wish there was more of it but at the same time I always smile when I hear it ever so often. Perhaps it being played only once is a good thing.
There isn't really much that repeats throughout the soundtrack (except maybe on the last track). I always like those little moments too :)
What a vibe
Thank you! Really happy you're enjoying it 😊
Маленькая мечта: копаться в земле под релаксирующую музыку
Спасибо за то, что вы слушали! 💚
Feels very classical, many motifs feel plucked from song writers from the romantic era.
Thank you!! I definitely wanted to go for a sort of timeless/out-of-time feeling with this one, I'm glad it came through :)
Eternal dust is fucking insane
Haha, thank you! It's one of my personal favorites from this volume, and was definitely one of the more challenging ones to get right.
Hello! Will you add 2 new tracks from the dome keeper?
Hi! I won't be adding them to RUclips for a while, but they're available on the Bandcamp volumes of the OST and should be added to the Steam DLCs very soon (there was a hangup in the certification process)
i am so happy that there is a full soundtrack for the assessor, he is my favourite character!
Thanks, I'm glad you've been enjoying it! And yeah, the plan is to have a unique soundtrack for each keeper :)
"Further Underneath" and "Ode to iron" fit this game so well. It instills sadness of being lonely, as if you feel homesick for home, which is light years away, barely visible shimmering dot on an alien sky
Thank you so much! That was definitely the sort of atmosphere I wanted to create 💚 Interestingly, "Ode to Iron" was one of the last ones I decided to add to the soundtrack, even though it was one of the first ones I started. It took a long time to get it feeling just right!
I got the end-game artifact back to the dome just as the health bar ran out and the game played both Collapse and Laser Party at the same time. I came here just to make sure I wasn't hearing things.
Haha, that's amazing... I bet that was quite the cacophony!
Just mesmerising. It all works together so perfectly. Amazing job!
Thanks so much!
@@CameronPaxton Your piano is super nice, I can see this album is a lot more piano-y and experimental with the melodies, works so well man
@@Toebex Thanks! The piano is Kontakt's Noire. Each keeper is going to have their own soundtrack, and I'm trying to do something a little different with each one. This one is almost entirely piano, except for a few bits in "The Perfect Bounce" and "Final Push"
@@CameronPaxton Youve nailed it my man, I'll be looking forward to hearing the next soundtracks for the next keepers!
Certainly one of the best original soundtracks I have heard for a long long long time. So immersive and original. Never heard anything like it before. Amazing work, I hope you were paid well for this piece of art. That little shift at 6:41 is just mysitcal. So nice.
Thanks so much, I'm really glad you're enjoying it! Of course, being in my own head I can hear the inspirations all over the place ^^; but I'm happy to hear you've not heard anything like it, that is encouraging! Thanks for taking the time to listen <3
@@CameronPaxton you’re more than welcome!! It’s a really amazing piece of work. Out of interest, what other soundtracks inspired you for this?
@@Toebex Hmm, I don't know of any soundtracks that inspired me directly, although I definitely wanted to capture the loneliness of Metroid since I felt the games have similar atmospheres. But a direct influence would be Boards of Canada for sure. I feel like the fingerprints of Geogaddi and Tomorrow's Harvest are all over this soundtrack.
@@CameronPaxton Man, you got good taste! I can definitely feel some of it in this soundtrack, especially Metroid. You have really done something special here man, I cant wait to hear more of what you work on next
@@Toebex Thanks again :) There is definitely more on the way, working on some new Dome Keeper stuff now. Not sure if you knew, but Vol. II is already out, should be my most recent upload!
Found you from the comments section of "Real Civil Engineer" and then arrived here and holy shit this is great.. Loving your tracks and the state of the game in general.. Also would love to have Dome Keeper mobile😉 Wishing you the best of luck and much love mate❤️
Thanks so much! I'm really happy you're enjoying the tracks. There are definitely more to come :) Mobile is something we'd definitely love to do, and hopefully can in the future when/if we start porting to other platforms!
This whole ost really reminds me of the societ cartoon Mystery of The Third Planet, especially A moment to breathe or Between the waves. ruclips.net/video/1g3h7bwNA1Y/видео.html One could thing you've taken inspiration from it. Love it woth my whole heart. ruclips.net/p/PLwoU935FdjXze9laD6eZf2QatiL3PY1K- here's the cartoon's full ost if anyone wants to listen
That's really cool! I've never heard that soundtrack before. It seems like the world of Soviet-era cartoons is really rich and I don't know much about them. Thanks for sharing!!
@@CameronPaxton yeah, the sovietwave is sure something that you don't hear every day. I'll send some more from other si fi cartoons if you're interested. I take inspiration from those when I'm writing music for my youtube channel time to time
@@Россиянин-ъ4е Sure! Yeah, feel free to drop them in the replies here and I'll check them out!
@@CameronPaxton @Cameron Paxton for some reason youtube doesn't let my comments through. This is the channel where i post my music, i forgot to switch accounts. Here's a mix of some interesting stuff, somewhat close to either the stuff you make or that ost that i sent 2 weeks ago: ruclips.net/video/DMoCM_FgLP8/видео.html
Also, i just wanted to say, this music that you're creating goes right up my valley. It's exaclty what i want to learn to write, perhaps you'd be willing to chat a bit on discord?
the ost is PHENOMENAL in this game you absolutely nailed it
Thank you so much! I appreciate that :)
laser party is a banger
Why thank you!
My daughter and I love your music!
Thanks Corey! I'm so happy y'all are able to enjoy it together 💚
I FOUND IT I FINALLY FOUND IT but it’s name Jetpack Requiem this whole time?! I LOVE IT it is definitely going to my list of musics for rest Note: Thank you so much Cameron you made my day and for that you deserve a like and a sub ok say ya later take care.
hehe, I'm curious: what did you think the name of the track was? Thanks so much, and I'm really happy you're enjoying it! Thanks for the like and sub 💚
@@CameronPaxton Honestly I had no idea but I would imagine I would name it something that pairs well with the song’s flow so I’d probably name it Salvation (don’t read following unless you haven’t played dome keeper) since that song only plays when you get the final relic and putting it in your dome’s basement in dome keeper and if you failed protecting the dome using your defences the final relic or as I like to call it "Nightmare’s True" it will just fly and stay above your dome annihilating all the dark creatures out of existence and then…you win or survive whatever you call it. Alright that’s all peace be upon you.
@@AdhvaithSane That's a good name too! I picked "Jetpack Requiem" because it's the last song you hear as you're flying up to the dome for the final battle :) Peace to you too!
Absolutely amazing, fits in the game SO well, masterful. i can imagine how hard it is to create something from scratch and be so creative and fit with the game so well. the music is so alien
Thank you!! There were definitely some challenges, but I think I was probably also just a good fit :) I've listened to a lot of Metroid music and Boards of Canada, which both have pretty alien feelings and I think you can hear those influences all over in the Dome music!
