"I don’t know how I have not done this one yet. It’s one of the first tunes people bring up whenever the topic of odd time signatures in video game music comes up. However what most people DON’T bring up is...beyond that it starts off in 7/8, it has one of the longest periods of rhythmic ambiguity in any VGM that I know of... About half of the people who hear this will hear beat 1 of the section from :49 - 1:56 to be one 16th note off from where the other half of people hear it to be. The way drumbeat there is written, and the way that section is transitioned into, it leaves it equally openly to two interpretations: 1) Beat 1 of the 4/4 section starts immediately after the 7/8 section. The kick drum is on beat 1. The snares are on the ‘e’ of 2 and ‘e’ of 4. (Visualization: K, _, _, _, K, S, _, _, K, _, K, _, K, S, _, _,) This forces the beat to turn around at 1:56 (meaning you’d have to put either a 17/16 or 1/16 bar right before there), where the beat changes to definitely having the snares on 2 and 4. 2) Beat 1 of the 4/4 section starts with a single 16th note beat gap between it and the 7/8 section. The kick drum starts 1 note before beat 1. The snares are on 2 and 4. (Visualization: _, _, _, K, S, _, _, K, _, K, _, K, S, _, _, K,). This evades the concept of having the beat turn around at 1:56, but means that instead you’d have to have either the first bar of the “4/4 section” be a bar of 17/16, or put a single 1/16 bar before it. Both of these two interpretations are equally valid and it seems pretty evenly split in my experience which of the two a person will naturally hear (they may even alternate between the two without realizing it!). I’m not sure how intentional it was to make it possible to hear in two entirely different ways, and I’m also not sure which way was “intended” if only one way was intended. Was probably just meant to make a really GROOFVEY FUNKY funke GOOd groove .. . (it succeeds it is really cool) Also kind of funny that the most rhythmically difficult to explain part is “the 4/4 section” The 7/8 section from 0:00 - 0:49 / 2:11 - 2:26 (and when it loops) is all just very clear 4+4+3+3! Hopefully I described this in an easy enough to understand way! Hard to visualize this with text only and not being able to show audio/visual combo examples. Also I think it’s amazing and also even kind of hilarious that on what’s regularly cited as one of the most technically impressive soundtracks on the system only uses 5 of the 8 channels the SNES can do at once. IT DOES push that self-imposed restriction pretty far though! That’s for sure. Amazing soundtrack. (ALSO MAKING SURE TO CREDIT GEOFF FOLLIN FROM NOW ON BECAUSE he might be even more rhythmically experimental than Tim Follin from what I’ve been observing on stuff credited to solely him. Doesn’t get the spotlight he deserves to share with Tim.)"
What's funny about this is that the beat thing happens to me all the time, then my ears fix themselves and I hear the section normally. I still love the song though.
I remember saying an RUclips comment that in an interview, Stephen Ruddy (the sound engine provider and audio programmer), Geoff would do the majority of the OSTs, but it was usually Tim who did the best bits.
"Was probably just meant to make a really GROOFVEY FUNKY funke GOOd groove .. . (it succeeds it is really cool)" It's super cool. The 0:49 caught me way off guard on first listen, so I went to the comments, and sure enough, I found the 411. Great comment man. It's funny to think about sometimes. We do all this music analysis after a song is written, but are we conscious of it in practice? Do the best musicians consider these complicated theory-based structures as they compose, or do they do it by feeling? Then, in the case of a brilliant song, could it be that the composer's feeling was just so great and intuitively awesome, that so many theoretical patterns and techniques can be derived from it? His feeling is aligned with the theory, that's maybe what I'm trying to get at. Cool to think about either way
So this is what happened to me while listening to 0²'s theme for the first time. I heard an entirely different version of it because of the percussion/time signature (I don't know a lot about music, my bad).
Anyone else notice how to used the drumline & an integer overflow envelope on one of the synth channels to accentuate the bassline *so* well that it almost becomes an entirely different bassline?
@@MrKennyWilliams I know, I am talking about the filtered square waves he sampled for this, which I refrred to as 'electric guitar samples', since I cant exactly compare it to MMX if I call it 'square wave'
Keep this in mind while listening The SNES only had 64KB of RAM, programmers had to fit every sample, sound effect, and every instruction needed to run the music into that tiny space.
64 KB of Audio RAM, 64 KB of Video RAM and 128 KB of Main System RAM. Actually it is the 4th gen system with the largest amount of total RAM, exceding even the Neo Geo (which makes up for that by having massive ROM cartridges). Indeed storing all the song samples + sound effects for the whole game level into these 64 KB of Audio RAM is quite the achievement.
Thank you for not disabling interpolation in this recording. The easiest to find, most-listened to uploads of Plok's soundtrack on RUclips have interpolation removed, and as a result they sound much too crispy.
My favorite OST of the game above Akrillic, FleaPit, and Creepy Crag. Takes you off guard with the beat drop at 0:50. Absolutely love those pitch sliding keyboard synths which also really stands out the most, but this track it really shines and sounds absolutely fucking badass, and Tim and Geoff went all out on this track and really worked that sound chip like a son of a bitch lol. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, truly something that would NOT be heard on a 16 Bit video game and or console, maybe something more like on a PS1 or something that is 32 bit, and something also that would be more from the mid to late 1990s, not 1993! The element of that pitch sliding synth is truly atleast 3-4 years ahead of its time. Tim and Geoff are truly mad man!
I will always be baffled over the decision to limit Tim to 5 voices for the music in this game. Sound effects do not need three whole voices. The whole soundtrack could have been much richer. It's almost like they mistakenly told him that the SNES had only 6 voices or something.
Using that little amount of channel was somewhat common among European game/demo musicians. If you want to hear some more extreme examples, Amiga has only 4 channels, but it's less limited on sample size compared to SFC's 64 KB RAM, and demoscene composers in the 90s managed to squeeze a lot in those 4 channels (sometimes even 3).
@@MakotoIchinose Preaching to the choir. I made mods back in the day. The Plok situation really does feel like some kind of oversight. Tim didn't arbitrarily limit himself on other platforms, such as his work on the Mega Drive. Hell, Equinox is even worse. Four voices!? It's baffling. I doubt there's a point in the entire game when all 8 voices are being utilized, no matter how fast you spam the fire button.

Interesting. Listen to 2:30, then jump back to 0:00. The tempo has noticeably slowed by that point in the song. Anyone know if the loop in the actual game is forever slower after the first iteration?
Colby Trimble Oh yeah. I heard that songs with a faster tempo are typically 7/8 while slower ones are 7/4. I'm guessing 7/8 but the only way to know for sure is to ask Tim Follin himself!
Frankly, it doesn't really matter. The groove (which naturally defines the time signature in tempo fixed music) is obviously divided in bars of 7/8. That alone convinces me Tim Follin wrote it in 7/8 and _not_ 7/4: Programmatically, sections are significantly easier to multiply in bars. In addition, that symmetrically makes each harmonic phrase four bars long (as opposed to two). This is the convention of contemporary music.
the different between the division of eighths or quarters doesn't really matter 'cause it's not notated nor is it being performed. The difference between two time signatures with the same metre exists only to make notated music more clearly notated so that it can be more intuitively read by a performer.
