[@SomeGalNamedEve]

You know it's a killer theme when people with hundreds of hours in this game still don't turn the music off

[@reidnothing]

And continues to listen to it even when the game is closed, like with this video.

[@m4rcyonstation93]

omg its some gal named eve

[@Battlemage15]

It's the same theme for hours with some variation for what you are doing, but it never, ever gets old. It's the dictionary definition of evergreen music.

[@noahstrube1027]

I only have it muted now when I play it at work. When I'm at home? Full blast baby!

[@Alex_Magnum]

I muted it anyway, I play with other music sometimes

[@rollyproductions]

I love how it's just the one theme but it seamlessly changes depending on what's happening. It's basically a 4 minute loop but you can play for hours and not get sick of it.

[@Mono_nc]

That description of the song works perfectly as a description of the game too

[@SofaMuncher]

[@perma_]

I appreciate how its in the time signature 7/4 As in lucky number 7

[@user-eg6fl6lr7e]

For me, I think it could be a tension thing. My ears aren't musical trained, but I can't hear a part of the song that feels like a resolution, you know? 7/4 adds to that, seeing as the 8th beat is a common place to throw resolutions, outright skipping it keeps the feeling of tension going. It's a very chill tension, but it's there

[@AngeliteEntyshak]

What a fantastic catch!

[@whawiz]

And 4 leaves like a lucky clover!

[@grogpod_roguelike_podcast]

The soundtrack rates a 7/4 for me as well

[@KhairiHamed]

@@user-eg6fl6lr7e That's a good way of explaining it. To me it's more of a waltz where my ears separate the full 7/4 bar into a 4/4 bar and a 3/4 so it flows between the two.

[@robertonome2448]

thats gotta be one of the most hypnotic *single track* game OSTs out there lmao usually its a very risky move just to have a single track looping over and over again, but here I'd even go as far as saying it benefits the game's vibe

[@H4wKindGD]

Welp the secret ingredient from this ost is adaptive music where in some moment like shopping for joker and facing a boss changing the music slight different melody

[@robertonome2448]

@@H4wKindGD still requires excellent composition nonetheless. a slightly modified boring song is still a boring song.

[@zaxolotl]

@@robertonome2448 I agree completely! I also have a feeling some of it comes down to the song being in 7/4, which people aren't generally used to, so the skipped beats subconsciously just keep being interesting even though they aren't new info after a while

Mastered the art of relistenablility, 50 hours of gameplay and still listen to it while driving/working. Such pleasantness cannot seem to get tired of it

[@fytos_]

This game is peak psychedelic vibes and the music helps TONS with that. Could listen to it for hours. The boss blind theme is so oddly menacing and the moment the blind is defeated, the music change is soo relieving. Masterfully made, great job!

[@LiarJudas666]

omg yes. that music change after the final score is calculated is a breath of fresh air lol

[@gunner8319]

On the boss blind I'm pretty sure it's that background organ sound (at least I think that's what the sound is going for) that makes it more tense/menacing. It does its job so well

[@gbpooky]

your music is a major reason why this game is such a good time. just subtle enough to never become annoying when listening to it for hours, while still being extremely catchy and smoothly produced/constructed

[@HC-qc5rp]

I hope this goes down in history as one of the greatest pieces of video game music ever composed. It takes magic and some secret sauce to make a four minute loop this addictive.

It's amazing how the arcana theme instantly makes me feel like I'm considering which arcana is best for my deck

Hard to believe my favorite video game soundtrack of 2024 was commissioned by an artist the dev found on Fiverr

[@gerbilcakes2841]

Might be my single favorite video game track ever. I listen to it while doing school work, programming, household chores, etc. There's just something so meditative about it but rhythmically interesting enough to keep me focused

[@BrianM_3rd]

This is gonna go down as one of the all-time greatest pieces of video game music ever made. Guaranteed.

[@lactoselucifer]

i'm obsessed with the music in this game, seriously great work

[@cuddleslapine]

there's something in this song that just grabs you and never let go. My friend came to my place one day and showed me this game. the volume was really low and he was talking over it about the game, but the music immediately peaked my attention. The game looked fun and all, but holy shit, this music...

[@I_am_Mic]

i dont know how a single looping theme song could have SO MUCH replayability, its so impressive, that it almost comes off as this song possessing magical properties.

[@deshawnthomas]

I’m convinced this music is what snagged me in and the gameplay addicted me. Ironic given it’s a poker rogue like. But thank god Steam randomly recommended me this! An absolute vibe.

[@darrenmcclung5935]

Would love an Apple Music or Bandcamp release of this.

[@chrisjia8627]

I can't get this music out of my head since i played the game. It's LITERALLY looping even while i'm sleeping.

Not only did you make such a sick banger, you did the unimaginable and have them mixed like in the game, perfect thinking music, thank you for the amazing work!

[@gamemaniac2013]

Need a tool that seamlessly transitions and loops between all the different versions. It'd be so cool to be able to just put it on for like 2 hours straight without worrying about how it loops and shuffles.

[@rileybaker8294]

I was thinking that too. Balatro OST app.

[@Spax_]

I was thinking of making a piece of software specifically for this tbh. software development is hard so we'll see when I get around to it

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

It's rare for music to be so good that, despite the option of just throwing the KZbin video into one of those MP3 rip websites, I go ahead and legitimately BUY it. This is one of those times. This game and everything about it should be supported.

[@timothymark]

If there was a joker that turned off this music in exchange for x5 mult I would NEVER take it. Such a banger.

[@Vyruz64]

Amazing soundtrack that, just like the game itself, accomplishes so much while keeping it so simple. It just works. Something you can listen to for hours that never becomes repetative. And the squeeze and release feeling of fading in and out of the boss theme is just superb. When it fades from the boss theme to the main theme for the first time you just realize how much you've been holding your breath, and all the details coming back into the music feels like such a relief. Just amazing.

Lovely theme! Could you tell me if the BPM is around 54 or 108? I was guessing the first one. Which would make the time signature 7/8 if I have it correct. I love the meter in 7, it's fun to count and matches the theme so well. I'm also curious how you got the gig, I love music stories!

[@Tallcat_TV]

I am also curious about this.

[@jauwn]

The BPM is 108 and the time signature is 7/4 throughout. The main droning chord is an F# and B held pretty much forever. This allows the rest of the music to move freely around E minor or G major while still sounding great. It's so simple yet so genius

[@Rubbly]
