a short note from the composer - This may not be the first thing you think of when you think Half Life, but I trust it will all make sense to you in the course of.....well, I'm really not at liberty to say. Due to circumstances in my life and career at the present moment, this marks the end of the road for me for on this project for the time being. I am looking steadfastly forward to my return to these distant shores with all of you. This project has meant more to me than you all know, fans and developers alike, and the journey up to this point is not one I will forget any time soon. In the meantime, this is where I get off.
It was Boris and Scott's masterfull music production that made me decide to apply for Project Borealis in the first place. Each track felt inspiring and you could definitely feel all the love invested into these heavenly sounds. I still listen to a playlist of all the soundtracks when I am working on the project. Thank you Scott, this is as perfect as it gets. Good luck in your life and career and may we meet again on distant shores. Sincerely, - TP4
Scott Stedman I love music, and I love soundtracks. I learned about music and started making it. I’m only 15 years old. I’m still young and I feel like my inspirations pushed me further, and made work harder. I’ve been trying to perfect my stuff for 2 years, and I’ve been researching ever since. I feel like I’ve gotten really good at it, but I have way more to go! I started with nothing, not a keyboard, not a drum set, not a synth. Just an iPad and my drive. I got everything I needed recently. This is an inspiration. Thank you so much for this. Thank you for inspiring me. This soundtrack is an inspiration. And it is incredible! Much love!
"And here we are. I spoke of my return to this shore. It has been a circuitous path to lands I once knew, and surprising to see how much the terrain has changed. Enough time has passed that few remember me, or what I was saying when last I spoke, or what precisely we hoped to accomplish. At this point, the resistance will have failed or succeeded, no thanks to me. Old friends have been silenced, or fallen by the wayside. I no longer know or recognize most members of the research team, though I believe the spirit of rebellion still persists. I expect you know better than I the appropriate course of action, and I leave you to it. Expect no further correspondence from me regarding these matters; this is my final epistle. Yours in infinite finality, Gordon Freeman, Ph.D."
Reading this still hits like a brick. Half-Life is my favorite videogame series, and knowing the creator of it just left it aside on the road will always hurt.
Yep. Hell, it's hard enough to even get a mod license for the engine. A process that should take weeks (if not hours) - especially due to competition from epic and others - is taking months.
@@jivey5123 True, I wonder what Half Life 3 would look like. How the story would progress. It's kind of up to the fans to decide that.. Maybe one day another team will try to create their own Half Life 3.
Oh man this stirs up the feelz. Sounds like a piece suitable for end credits. Keep up the splendid work guys and don't rush: good things in life require time.
@@unvisitantemas The score is brilliant, but, not sure if this is the right time for placing prices, the in-game level design is highly WIP and uses lots of dev textures, it'll probably become bigger and more over time, but you know what I mean.
Much love for the work you're doing. Claps and see you around the road, Scott. You got the world in front of you. Make it beautiful. Once again, congrats to the whole team. This is what people can achieve. It's unbelievable. I'm looking forward to see what's coming next
I wish I could join to the team. But, I do not have any experience about, almost anything. The only thing that I could do is music. But I couldn't probably do that too. My PC doesn't like FL Studio at all. I hope you can pull out something great. I wish you the best of luck, and my love. Thank you for reading.
@@As567na I can't. I don't know anything about UE4. The only things I _maybe_ could do is music. And my PC can't handle THE POWER OF THE MIGHTY *LOOPS OF FRUITS.* So, yea. :(
this is a representation of feelings of nostalgia and a sense of hope. on the one hand, and the nostalgia for a satisfactory past now corrupted by the present. On the other hand, we have hope in the future where a similar past can re-emerge, exactly like the one freeman..
I can't believe how beautiful this is. It suprised me how this song revived some exciting feelings inside me and made me sad at the same time. Im really happy because i think i will really see the end of a series that is so dear to me. You guys are awesome thank you.
You are the only thing that keeps the hope of seeing the universe of half life resurrected. A whole generation that woke up with Gordon Freeman, wait patiently.
Good portion of the community will cry at the scene when this music starts playing but my own will be mourning for the die hard fans who couldn't live to see that, will you guys do a tiny gesture for them if you can?
Episch Project Borealis is being made with love and talent. Hunt Down The Freeman was not made with love. It was made with money and feeding off Half-Life's popularity.
Gordon's journey isn't over yet. Valve wanted to finish it, but they never came around to doing it. This is our chance to finish it ourselves, as a community. And by God, we will see the end of the HL2 saga after all these years. We need this game. Go PB, and finish the job, once and for all.
I have not even heard it all but I know Iam gonna love u, keep hard working guys u are the true pioneers of community taking over something bigger than just a game!
I think of a gentle current to a familiar shore. One that I have not seen in a long, long time. Great stuff here. It fits the music of Half Life while standing apart on it's own with Borealis.
Excelente pieza, con esos toques de cuando descubres el borealis y después haces esa asociación con el universo portal. Se nota muchísimo. Me gusta como está tomando forma el proyecto, seguid así, tenéis todo mi apoyo
This song is one of my favorite songs so far, is to short, but verte emocional and i really like that Keep going Project Borealis, one day everyone are going to see how incredible is going to be this game
I hope this track makes it to the final version of the game, it could fit in a very emotional part or the ending/credits. Half Life doesn't have many piano based music tracks (I think Triage at Dawn is the only one, maybe I am wrong idk), so it would be nice to have some more of those.
Reminds me of the Portal 2 ending, i guess it's like a parallel to Chell being in the wheat field, on the other side of the Earth, Gordon is on a shore. Heroes that can finally rest. Poetic, no?
wenn gordon says to himself why dont i end this now this endless nightmare starting from black mesa all the way to here was it worth it? might aswell could end this now with my guns
well then get them cheap while you can! the summer sale ends tomorrow on steam and you can buy the entire series for dirt cheap. it's an amazing series, i highly recommend it.

This soundtrack is an inspiration. And it is incredible! Much love!
I do think it fits perfectly! and from 1:30 is mindblowing. It sounds like hope and nostalgic at the same time. Gorgeous sounds!
catch me later I'll buy ya a beer
I think the wobbly fluctuation sounds (excuse the lay terms) are very Half Life-esque!

Looks like Freeman went into a Mental Breakdown. Still hurts me
I trust that you guys will finish this project one day, at least i hope you will! Valve has forgotten its roots :(

Half life alyx is out
@@kettle1817 yeah its funny reading this now
You know how hilarious this comment is now?
They became another valve it never came out :(
So this is what the ending to the Half-Life series sounds like.
It's beautiful. It gives me so many different emotions.
This is just Half Life 2 Episode 3. So Half Life 3 is still chronologically next.
@@jivey5123 True, I wonder what Half Life 3 would look like. How the story would progress. It's kind of up to the fans to decide that.. Maybe one day another team will try to create their own Half Life 3.

this franchise is the most bittersweet series in gaming...
Sounds like.
This song is awesome. Really glad to be part of this community
The Half Life community is WAY better than the undertale community.
So this is how the ending of Epistle 3 sounds? Hard to describe with our limited vocabulary how beautiful this is. :’)
Epistle 3*
@@damonnugent1993 Happy?
@@richardsemerad2864 More than one person keeps saying Project Borealis is HL3, it's not just you, and it confuses people. **shrug**

Which is why TF2 took like 8-9 years of revision to finalize.
This is some good stuff.

whenever there's an update or a new soundtrack release first thing i do is spread it to everyone i know, you guys are doing god's work
This song is going to make me cry. Damn you PB!
1:32 when you see The Aperture Science logo in Borealis
One of the greatest soundtrack what i've ever hear. Good job, I hope you will soon finish the development and show Valve how to make games
At the end, Gordon is just a human like we are.

Oh right
I was hoping for so long to have a song with path of borealis... when I heard it, I got chills, I can't wait to play this
this is a representation of feelings of nostalgia and a sense of hope.

Almost the new Triage at Dawn, yet slower and more calming.
Love it
Os sigo desde el comienzo del proyecto, sois increíbles.
new minecraft music?
jokes aside, this is absolutely amazing! Good job!
Not really a joke and more of a complaint considering how good Minecraft’s music is
@@DogsRNice Yeah, true, the Minecraft soundtrack by C418 is amazing :D
It's more like Halfcraft music...
This soundtrack is based on Half-life 2 triage at dawn soundtrack. The piano part is excatly the same just slower
@@DevilWolf000 nope, you're looking at 03 Recurrence Theorem.
Good portion of the community will cry at the scene when this music starts playing but my own will be mourning for the die hard fans who couldn't live to see that, will you guys do a tiny gesture for them if you can?
by far the most beautiful song in the soundtrack.
edit: don't fuck up this game.
They won't, the amount of work put into each and every element of the game is bound to be succesfull, unlike Hunt down the Freeman xdd

it seems a combination between the laboratories of Aperture and the artistic mountains
I have not even heard it all but I know Iam gonna love u, keep hard working guys u are the true pioneers of community taking over something bigger than just a game!
Why do i get C418-Sweden vibes XD
No, seriously, some parts kinda reminds me of it.
I got that too, I wasn't brave enough to ask if this reminds anyone of Minecraft lol
Nostalgia, grief, good and bad moments all resumed in a simple melody
Its the slow, soft piano tones.
Mee too
This piece of music have some aspects of C418 style , I like it tbh
I think of a gentle current to a familiar shore. One that I have not seen in a long, long time. Great stuff here. It fits the music of Half Life while standing apart on it's own with Borealis.
Path of borealis comes in mind from beginning
1:48 exactly
This OST really marks the game, good work!!!
We are in Endgame now.
Excelente pieza, con esos toques de cuando descubres el borealis y después haces esa asociación con el universo portal. Se nota muchísimo.

I am glad I don't sleep, I could miss out on updates
Brilliance. Absolutely astonishing.
Beautiful
Simply amazing
I love atmosphere like this
You guys ever think of releasing this OST when the game eventually comes out? Everything we've heard so far has been fucking god tier.
Omg so hyped don't let us down. This sounds so good
I love this song, i'm sure it will fit well where you intended it to be!
Damn... this is incredible. Can't wait for Project Borealis!
This song sounds so nice! It sounds calming and kind of interesting.
This is beautiful
Its beautiful!
This song is one of my favorite songs so far, is to short, but verte emocional and i really like that
Keep going Project Borealis, one day everyone are going to see how incredible is going to be this game
beautiful song, I'm looking forward to the game's release
Beautiful feeling... :') Nice job PB team.
the music is phenomenal looking...
I love project borealis, and i want to play it!
The right music in the wrong time can make all the difference in the world.
Amazing vibe. Shooting Combines and zombies during these tunes will give us the chills for sure. Can't wait!
I don't think this music will be in an action packed gameplay sequence...

I’m just wondering what kind of ending needs this music, I can’t wait to see
I'm gonna go with greek tragedy.
after 12 years the community had enough, and finnaly broke free of waiting on this goddamn episode 3... but now the time has come.
