Perfect timing! Because I'm going to make a video on some other video game soon, and I was just wondering if I could use one of the Bionicle tracks as background music as I'm talking, if that's okay? I understand if not though.
I'm very humbled to see that finding my recordings on RUclips inspired you to post this for us BIONICLE fans. Thank you so very much! It's so pleasing to the ear to finally be able to hear these in high quality, and I'm always intrigued by prototype tracks. I particularly enjoyed the alternate take on the Piraka boss battle theme, and especially that mysterious Metroid-esque track at 30:25. I really appreciate it when a composer is willing to go out of his way to please some of his old fans. Thanks, again!
+VezonWireless You're very welcome, thanks for keeping the spirit alive after all these years. I hadn't heard these tracks in a LONG time. Some of them are pretty okay!
This soundtrack has no right being this good lmao. Even as a kid I didn't expect much from a Bionicle DS game. But while the game is actually fairly fun, the OST was always my favourite aspect of the game. I'd often find a corner of a level and just listen to the soundtrack through my headphones lol. Something recently reminded me of this game's existence so I started playing again and remembered how much I liked this OST, so decided to see if I could find a rip of it online. The last thing I expected to find was that the original composer posted high quality remasters of the music!
Words can't describe how happy I am to have finally met the author of the music from one of my most beloved games. I'm a huge Bionicle fan, and being 12 in 2006 I just couldn't be anything but obsessed with this game: I spent countless hours on my DS, and I still do today from time to time. Thank you so much for the amazing work you did with Bionicle Heroes: for how humble you may think of this specific soundtrack, it was perfect for that game and for the magical word of Bionicle. Something that really helped me staying strong during the troublesome years of middle school; in short you composed the official theme of my 12th year of existence, ahah! And you did the music for HP and the prisoner of Azkaban, right? That was another great title from my childhood, in his GBA version.
This soundtrack is great, I've never played the game but I've been listening to the soundtrack over and over for the past few weeks and I find it very inspirational. I'd say it's one of my favorite Ost's along with Chris Hülsback's Turrican and a few others. Great work and nice that the remastered version exists!
I still have this game. If there was no music to it, it'd still be a pretty great experience, but the music is what turns it into such a complete work. With all sincerity, *thank you for this*.

When I moved from the GBA to the DS, I was pretty bummed about the relatively minor increase in sound quality. Having dedicated sound channels was nice though...
T3KNUG3T5 The DS has a dedicated sound chip with 16 channels. GBA used the CPU for sound mixing, so it had to share processor power with the rest of the game. We would always do tests to see how many channels I could get away with, and it varied depending on the game and even scene within a game. On title screens and credits sequences I could go hog wild, sometimes over 12 channels. In-game it was usually 6-8 channels. I actually developed some tech to be able to be able to slightly increase or decrease the number of channels used, I think for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Ian Stocker hmm. thats actually pretty interesting. Its nice to see that the DS didnt sacrifice CPU usage for sound like the GBA did. I do homebrews for the GBA. and I just stick with 4 as if it was a Amiga
This is easily one of the most interesting and atmospheric soundtracks I've ever heard, and one that fits very well with Bionicle. Thank you so much for uploading. Is it possible to download the tracks in a zip or something by the way?
I love the voya nui bay theme, it's so awesome. One of my favourite themes in any game, period! I remember buying this game on sale as a kid and I played the hell out of it. This game should be considered one of the best if not the best fps game on the nintendo ds. The soundtrack is of course amazing too:)
This game still continues to hold a special place in my heart, both as my first FPS and as one of my favorite soundtracks. The OST was just so mysterious and haunting, yet calming at the same time. Machinery (and the variation used as the main theme) is still one of my favorite pieces of all time. Good stuff, truly iconic of Bionicle.
I love this game so much. Maybe too much even... To the point of completing it 1100% across several different copies and platforms/versions. Well, 1100% so far. ...anyway, what I think I'm trying to say is 1. This game has some absolutely stellar tunes 2. It's cool that the composer cares enough about it to put it out there for us all to enjoy 3. This music is great, man, nice work. They make a good game great
@@marcelkonnerth2634 The O-rune? Or just the N-rune? If it's N, those are a bit of a pain to find, only being dropped by frost beetles, but they're easy enough to grind, just play the Makuta level Ice Gap over and over, it's super short and has one of 'em, so a rune will drop eventually. If it's an O, you'll just have to look through the levels very carefully with the radar. Hope it was helpful, if not I'm working on noting down where every collectible is to see if I can complete the game in under 10 hours some day, so more precise info should become available sometime in the future.
9:42 Wow the clearer vibrato adds so much to this track, makes it a lot more dissonant Ghost also really benefits from the added clarity, a lot of the bass stuff got lost in compression I wonder why all those boss variants went unused? They add nice variety, and hell Reidak doesn't even *have* the boss theme play at all. I appreciate you adding all these prototype tracks, it gives good insight behind the creative process and how you finalized the style for the game, you did a great job making the whole thing purely atmospheric. I haven't played this until recently and it still immerses the hell out of me
I think this soundtrack really matches the Bionicle theme with that mysterious, mechanic and "native american" sound. It's a unic soundtrack and memorable. Especially the track that playes in the menu "Machinery". I wonder if there is some way to get an official downlaod of this? I would even pay for it!
@@codebacker24 kachinas though... I've noticed some design similarities between Bionicle and Native American kachinas. Plus they just have a similar vibe in my opinion.
Would it be possible to get an MP3 download of these? Would be great to add to the BioMedia Project archive for permanent hosting! :) EDIT: I did not realize this was 8 moths old. Somehow I didn't know about this until now. I also apologize for not crediting you properly in my initial gamerip for the site. (Chances are this is the recording from original hardware you've seen the most) I try my hardest to find the credits for my additions to the music archive, but I couldn't find you for some reason. O_o
Great work! Bionicle Heroes on the DS is my favorite Bionicle game to go back and play, and the music is all super spot on! You legitimately have made a positive impact on me through your work!
I really like the weird-ass growly sounds in the main title theme (which doesn't seem to be on here? or am I just being stupid), and some of the other tracks (like Machinery). Something about it really grinds my gears the right way.
+yuhwryu1234 Two tracks were left out: the main title, because it really is just an excerpt of "Machinery", and the hero mode song which probably worked okay in the game but it just too jarring to listen to as part of the OST. And yes, those filtered analog bass sounds have been my friend for a long time
I remember playing this game day and night as a kid as long with other ds titles but this was always stuck out because of how the music sounded and how it made me feel thank you so much for fueling my child hood.
These tracks sound considerably different without the compression its very interesting to hear the differences PS: I can't help but notice the main menu theme is missing, is there a reason for its absence?
Bionicle was blessed with amazing music all over. Whether it was just a little page on a website or a full out game or novel, there was passion from the artists and creators. this stuff is the reason I love electronic music
Hey there! If you're still willing to provide downloads of these, we'd love to archive them on our site! We've done the best we can with the video here, but the crossfading unfortunately makes it a little difficult, plus RUclips's compression doesn't provide the best possible quality, aha. Keep up the great work! :)
Words can't describe how much I love this soundtrack, it really sticked to me. And today, as I try to make music myself, I come back to this OST as it inspires me in terms of textures and synthesis. It's so unique, and the samples are so interesting in my opinion! Amazing work, I really wonder how some of the short breathy textures were made in "Stone" , that sort of Hi-Hat closing pitched down and bit crushed, great sounds! edit: I ended up reverse engineering the sound I’m talking about, and turns out it’s a two octaves pitched down hi-hat!
sorry it took 4 months to reply to this, just how things for me these days-- but congrats on reverse engineering, I learned so much by recreating and analyzing songs
The DS version of the game was more memorable to me because of its cooler, darker and edgier music, art and the first person gameplay than the GameCube version. Felt more magical and mysterious.
I finally finished the MIDI cover of Voya Nui Bay! www.vgmusic.com/new-files/Voya_Nui_Bay_3.mid You can also hear a version that uses the Clubhouse Games soundfont here: ruclips.net/video/vrkD4e8ql2Y/видео.html ...I may have to go back, revisit the Hi-Hats and that quiet Saw in the background, at some point, to try and get even closer. Definitely gonna look into covering one of the other tracks before I do, though.
Stone, Earth, and Fire are perhaps my main favorites in this soundtrack. Warped is giving me some bad vibes, though only because I'm associating it with some levels that made me ragey. Not a lot of fondness for those, enemy placement + a few of the puzzles and secrets were rather frustrating.
the track at 1:50 "air". reminds me of oldchool jungle drum an bass at the start . any chance there is a way I could get these tracks in a reasonable quality format , I understand if you had to release them as a very low quality and small file but is there any chance you have the original lossless files ?
I recorded these recently from the original source files, so I do have lossless versions. It's a common request to get higher quality download versions in MP3 and FLAC but I haven't really gotten around to it, and I'm not sure where to host the files..
the one at 28 mins is very much like early progressive/hard trance . very cool stuff for a game I used to play when I was 8 or so haha . Do you do any more recent stuff like this ?
Though I listened to tons of electronica/trance back in the 90's and 2000's, this isn't a style I go to very often. There's nothing recent that fits this, but I did dig this track up from 1997. Not as polished as my later stuff but you can hear the trance influences: ruclips.net/video/xE0ERjYlCCU/видео.html
Just wanted to say that I grew up absolutely loving bionicle when I was a kid. After I got the DS game for my eighth birthday and playing through it god knows how many times, I’d try my best to manifest “Earth” and “Fire” in particular in my head while actually playing with the toys. Know that might sound a little strange, but I just wanted to say how big an impact the music from this game had on me as a kid. You did an absolutely incredible job with the soundtrack and just a few days ago when I played back through the game again on my 3ds I found myself being taken back to my childhood. Party by the gameplay, but most of all by the music. The feeling of pure nostalgia I had when hearing “Air” for the first time in over a decade is something I can safely say I’ve never experienced. Hope you see this and thank you so much for crafting such an amazing soundtrack. It’s absolutely brilliant
I somehow have only just come across this despite the DS port of Heroes being my favorite of the games and I'm absolutely in love with it That being said, is there any chance we could get the individual tracks uploaded for us to download, including the cut hero mode and title screen tracks?
I have a library of samples I've bought in packs, or taken from the various synths I've owned over the years. I also did a lot of sampling from the synths in Buzz, my composition tool of choice in the 2000's.
I played this from age 4 till now just had to pick up a new copy from all the great memories and there is not a doubt in my mind that the music didn't take part in my love for this game Thank You-p.s machinery was my jam!
Hey, a couple of places credit the composer for this game as Tom Miller. Are they mistaken for the GBA version composer, or is it a pseudonym of sorts?
I believe he made the music for the GBA version of this game (completely different design). Through a mistake, my name never made it to the credits list, so very few people knew I wrote the music for this game, until I chimed in and introduced myself on another youtube video's comments section.
Your name did make it to the game's end credits though. However, it was under "Sound Designers" with a few other people and there was no specific composer credits. Apparently even the game's manual misattributed the music composition to Tom Miller and Ian Livingstone.
I have been getting lots of requests for song extensions lately... not sure when I will have time for it but it's nice to know there are tracks people want to listen to on repeat
@@IanStocker I know it's basically a part of Machinery, but the main theme made the way it is sounds so perfect, I used to listen to it on repeat on my DS not even playing the game. I'm talking hours. Over the years I have listened to the OST many times and played through the game more times than I care to admit. Thank you for the amazing memories that are still very much present to this day!

Sounds very inspired the the original Unreal game, as did the gameplay. This was easily the best version of the game.
Same composition tool (tracker), plus I was a big fan of Unreal so it definitely influenced me
I never owned a Bionicle... the algorithm brings me to strange places... perhaps this will serve as a background for my drifting.
The DS version of the game was more memorable to me because of its cooler, darker and edgier music, art and the first person gameplay than the GameCube version. Felt more magical and mysterious.

Though I listened to tons of electronica/trance back in the 90's and 2000's, this isn't a style I go to very often. There's nothing recent that fits this, but I did dig this track up from 1997. Not as polished as my later stuff but you can hear the trance influences:

Thats cool man , i like the synths that come in at around 50 seconds. The start of the track reminds me of megaman battle network haha :P
Just so freaking nice imo to ear this ost after all this times And! in this quality !!
Thank you so much for this.
thank you for this masterpiece❤
you're welcome!
Now this brings back memories, I used to play this game years ago and I still do on occasion, I can never grow out of it
Me too.
Just wanted to say that I grew up absolutely loving bionicle when I was a kid. After I got the DS game for my eighth birthday and playing through it god knows how many times, I’d try my best to manifest “Earth” and “Fire” in particular in my head while actually playing with the toys. Know that might sound a little strange, but I just wanted to say how big an impact the music from this game had on me as a kid.
You did an absolutely incredible job with the soundtrack and just a few days ago when I played back through the game again on my 3ds I found myself being taken back to my childhood. Party by the gameplay, but most of all by the music. The feeling of pure nostalgia I had when hearing “Air” for the first time in over a decade is something I can safely say I’ve never experienced. Hope you see this and thank you so much for crafting such an amazing soundtrack. It’s absolutely brilliant
the track titled showdown definitely reminds me of break beat or some sort of industrial

I somehow have only just come across this despite the DS port of Heroes being my favorite of the games and I'm absolutely in love with it
That being said, is there any chance we could get the individual tracks uploaded for us to download, including the cut hero mode and title screen tracks?
I added a link in the description to uncompressed WAV recordings of these tracks. Enjoy
The only FPS I'm good at!
Maybe you could talk with BioMedia Project to include these original tracks on the site?
I get a ratchet and clank/mario 64 vibe from this, I really like it.
Cant lie. I wish I could get this on CD 😅
Still wish you had downloads for all your remasters :(
Oh gosh you did this too
Were there any particular sound libraries used to create the soundtrack or were the instruments all built into the software?
I have a library of samples I've bought in packs, or taken from the various synths I've owned over the years. I also did a lot of sampling from the synths in Buzz, my composition tool of choice in the 2000's.
@@IanStocker Any specific packs? I find the origin of samples to be a very interesting.
I think I wanna do remixes and remasters of some of these highly underrated themes
I played this from age 4 till now just had to pick up a new copy from all the great memories and there is not a doubt in my mind that the music didn't take part in my love for this game Thank You-p.s machinery was my jam!
Would you happen to have the original tracker files saved somewhere?
❤️❤️❤️
OMG old memories :)
Sounds super Metroid Prime like to me
Hey, a couple of places credit the composer for this game as Tom Miller. Are they mistaken for the GBA version composer, or is it a pseudonym of sorts?
I believe he made the music for the GBA version of this game (completely different design). Through a mistake, my name never made it to the credits list, so very few people knew I wrote the music for this game, until I chimed in and introduced myself on another youtube video's comments section.
Your name did make it to the game's end credits though. However, it was under "Sound Designers" with a few other people and there was no specific composer credits.
Apparently even the game's manual misattributed the music composition to Tom Miller and Ian Livingstone.
Ah yeah. Poor Tom had to set the record straight on one of the GBA OST videos too-- he also got accidentally credited as Livingstone. 😓
Told you
Can you extend the water theme sometime?
I have been getting lots of requests for song extensions lately... not sure when I will have time for it but it's nice to know there are tracks people want to listen to on repeat
@@IanStocker I know it's basically a part of Machinery, but the main theme made the way it is sounds so perfect, I used to listen to it on repeat on my DS not even playing the game. I'm talking hours. Over the years I have listened to the OST many times and played through the game more times than I care to admit. Thank you for the amazing memories that are still very much present to this day!
Absolutely adore the OST for this game, especially Destruction
Any updates regarding my previous comment about archival?
24:50 I can still hear Hakann's cocky laugh. Hands down probably the coolest boss fight in the game.
How did you find the bonus tracks?
He probably still had the original files on his computer.
in what program did you make these?
Impulse Tracker, running in DosBox
great stuff tho
thank you :-)
Could I make a request for the intro?
I will make a note to look for it, not sure when I can get around to it though
@@IanStocker that would be awsome!
