01 The Path (Luna) - Music of the Spheres

[@loganpaulcaveman1848]

Thank you Marty O’Donnel, Mike Sechrist, and Michael Salvatori for the best ost in gaming history. I dont think bungie can last without their contribution for long, they really were the best.

[@AtlyxMusic]

Good comment, but I did want to say that while Michael Sechrist did write some absolutely fanastic tracks, this piece predates Sechrist writing music for Bungie by over 5 years. When this piece was written, Sechrist was in QA. Crazy how every one of the original Bungie composers is gone now though. No one even noticed but C Paul Johnson (who worked on every track from non-MotS D1 and TTK) left Bungie in 2016 and then wrote a couple pieces as a contractor, and then he was completely gone with Warmind in 2018. C Paul wrote tracks such as Tranquility, Relic of Hope, Regicide, Cabal Stomp, Temple of Crota, Holliday, Rise, The Wretched Eye, A God on Mars, and so many more. O'Donnell/Salvatori/Johnson really were the magic of so much of Destiny's sound. Skye Lewin is still there so I think we'll still get some good tracks, but I'm not sure how they're going to write music for Destiny (which already took 6+ people), Marathon, and even more. I'm worried Bungie is just going to start getting contractors. :/

[@Archotech-c7e]

[@adamherrick8754]

For me, this is and always will be the main theme of Destiny. It's what I heard bits of during the opening cinematic with man's arrival on Mars. That's that. It was the beginning. I hope it comes around again for the end.

This is like farewell song to the Bungie we once knew and loved and at same time I feel like this song describes what Destiny could have been...truly epic scifi experience with great storytelling instead of looter shooter it became. Fuck Bungie's leadership for doing all the wrong decisions they did....

[@Andromeda-57]

@@Balnazzardi Yes while I am young, I do have very very, VERY vague memories of D1 and it was awesome. I love the older sci-fi aspect instead of this ability driven cringe fest. I love the cosmodrome because I love seeing those massive colony ships. I like its sci-fi parts I was very, very young and did not know how special D1 was. I still play it and will until there's no D2 to play. It hurts me that the memories of D1 keep fading with only old playthroughs to bring them back. And eventually ill forget it'll exist. I took a break from it, and I am now playing again I just like playing weekly activities doing strikes etc. I'm good enough to do raids and other things like them but it's just not that fun. It just feels like any other looter shooter sometimes, but something is still different idk what. You are right they never got it to its potential.

[@sneaklone_]

I seriously think The Path is the single best piece of composition in the entire Science Fiction genre as a whole and it doesn't even come close. This piece is a one in a billion masterpiece. I feel like the only Destiny OST since then that comes REMOTELY close to music of the spheres is Beyond Light's, Witch Queen does have drown in the deep (which has a vibe that reminds me a lot of MotS for some reason) and fantastic orchestral epics but still doesnt come close

[@Hardrive2677]

I totally agree Music of the spheres is a masterpiece that Bungie tries to shove under the rug because of their issues with Marty. You could definitely argue it’s the best video game soundtrack of all time. This music shows us what Destiny could have been if Bungie wasn’t ran by incompetent morons. The melodies in music of the spheres are iconic and it’s baffling that Bungie barely uses ANY of it. It’s like if Star Wars only played the force theme once. It pisses me off.

[@Balnazzardi]

​​@@Hardrive2677indeed, Destiny could have been Bungie's new Halo...instead it became a turd and they only partly managed to redeem themselves shortly with Destiny 2 before they fucked things up with it too. But even more sonits a shame how original Destiny was but a shell of what it could have been and original Destiny unlike original Halo for example was completely forgotten as soon as the sequel came out. No one will ever look back fondly at original Destiny unlike ppl will look on original Halo and its all thanks to their incompetent leadership who went and sold themselves to devil aka Activision-Blizzard. Bungie should have just stayed with Microsoft and negotiated a deal that would have allowed them to develope Destiny instead of making more Halo.

@@abdoul5176 How so? This music was composed for Destiny, used partly in Destiny, and then never used again. I understand that Marty was fired, but they've already used other pieces that he has composed in Destiny 2, and it is necessary to keep the games feeling intertwined. Let's use the track 'Guardian' as an example. It is used multiple times in Destiny 2 to keep continuity and to add an emotional, resonating value to the pieces. If they invented an entirely new theme to replace it in D2, it would feel a lot less impactful. If they use this in Shadowkeep, it will make Destiny 1 and 2 feel a lot more connected. I feel like the inclusion of a single track isn't unfair. Adding it in another game is better than letting it collect dust.

[@defeatSpace]

It's a shame that newer info says otherwise. Bungie has creative control over Destiny, Activision does want enough money to make a handsome profit and the Destiny that was initially planned would have done this. The Bungie executives wanted more though so they scrapped everything and set the game up to be a money cow just to squeeze a little more out at the expense of what Destiny was going to be. The only reason Activision is bad is just because they don't care as long as they make money. Bungie has lost its culture, they no longer make games that they want to play, they make games to stuff their accounts.

[@CurtisJensenGames]

Yeah, that’s true that Bungie’s still very in control. Unfortunately it’s also because video games are so expensive to make now in days so this is the price we pay, but companies like Nintendo show that there’s a better way to monetize games anyway.

[@azure9809]

Curtis Jensen Games are more expensive but more people are also buying them. It's sort of like saying " Movies are so much more expensive to make these days with all of the cgi and such. That's the price we pay for having to buy the last ten to twenty minutes of the movie separately to be able to see the end."

@@revenants.6992 Actually Microsoft always had the rights to Halo since around 2000 when Bungie was bought by Microsoft, that was the deal. Under Microsoft they were just a studio name, not their own company, anything they created was Microsoft IP. The deal to leave was to make 2 more Halo games after leaving, with a profit sharing agreement. Destiny was a different story. After leaving Microsoft they became an LLC and a real company again, then finished the agreement. Meanwhile Bungie sought a publisher who was willing to fund their new project without buying them and allowing them to keep all their IP to themselves, essentially just an investment/profit share. Only one was interested. Activision wasn't supposed to be allowed to make any decisions on Bungies projects. Though it kinda seems like they interfered anyway. At least Activision let Bungie go early from their 10 year contract. Bungie has the capital now to go without a publisher.

I guess we don’t. Because they can’t even do things on their own.

Destiny could've been something great, greater than Halo probably. But the higher-ups' biggest misstep was shafting the people with true talent and creativity. I'll always wonder what could've been. :(

[@Balnazzardi]

Well impossible to say as Bungie's original vision for Destiny seemed to have been killed off quite early in development. Ive recently played the opening part of Destiny 2 (which is exactly the same as in original Destiny in my understanding, that starting area) and I can definitely see the epicness/potential of it from there in the setting/world design, but right from the start I couldnt care less for characters or the story, it seemed like completely second thought. So idk, for me its hard to imagine them being able to create something better than Halo, but I can definitely say that had Bungie just stuck with Microsoft and not demand them having Destiny IP for themselves, I think Destiny would have turned out so much better than what it eventually did. I mean I was extremely disappointed to learn through its development that it turned into "cheap man's MMO" instead of story driven singleplayer epicness...I mean I wouldnt have minded co-op obviously, but its clear that Activision wanted that kind of looter-shooter/cheap MMO design instead.

[@PurePancakes113]

@@Balnazzardi the original campaign of D2 was a lot better but they had to reduce the game's size and replaced it with a crappier d1 campaign. I'm not gonna say D2 launch was perfect but red war was a great campaign.

[@bigbaz4632]

@@PurePancakes113 I hate this decision and it’s one of the two reasons I hate D2.

[@sneaklone_]

Ultimately though the raids and dungeons have been what defined Destiny at this point, the fact that there is an MMOlite FPS game with raiding content is fantastic and unfortunately no other games do it. I'm not going to argue that the singleplayer could've been fantastic but its been the social content that's kept me playing all these years@@Balnazzardi

[@Balnazzardi]

@@sneaklone_ ye I know many did enjoy both Destiny games just for that and propably enjoyed them lot more than they would have if they had beem just story driven games like Halo with some multiplayer aspects/raiding aspects (but not as their main focus). In the end I dont even know how much Bungie's original vision changed for Destiny because of Activision-Blizzard but I do know they completely screwed over what Marty O'Donnel and Joseph Staten had in mind and both left or were kicked out of Bungie before the game was released. Lot of us were wanting and expecting more of Halo like game with storytelling as its focus but all of that was in the end put at the background while raiding/looter shooter aspects took the main focus
