Amen. Lena, with all of her work, has achieved something never achieved before in games with her unique sound and style. Every single one of her works feels unique, different and special. Which is amazing

I see what you did there😂

[@mvjbass9561]

What I really love about your work on Celeste, Chicory, ESC, Minecraft etc. is demonstrating how one can make amazing, modern soundtracks without a large budget and entire Orchestra to work with. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course (there have been countless very good orchestral soundtracks made by incredible musicians), it's just so inspiring hearing ost's this great that came from one person in their home & a few extra musicians.

It's neat to go from acoustic to electronic/chip (Square, triangle, saw) instruments in the boss themes. Like you're going from "The Natural World" to "Something extra-natural is waiting in this dark basement"

[@Ominousbean2024]

Thats exactly what I’m doing

[@amonre2628]

This is perhaps your strongest work yet. Overall inspiring and top notch both in terms of motif, melodies and arrangement. "Do the impossible" i think stood out the most, but the cohesion is so impressive that it is hard to choose between the tracks. Got to say i appreciate the teamwork with Emi Evans as well as she has the right voice for the feel of this game. The whole thing comes off as masterful!

[@MattNL]

Finally got around to playing Chicory on Game Pass and the music absolutely sold the experience. You absolutely crushed it here!!!! I aspire to write like you one day because these motifs and compositions are just so well crafted and the range in your works is incredible!! Between this, Celeste, Minecraft, Moonglow Bay, etc, it's getting harder and harder for me to choose my favorites!! You will be remembered as one of gaming's most beloved composers. I dunno if you'll end up reading this, but in case that you do, thank you so much for all of the wonderful music that you've created. Thank you for your amazing contributions!♥

[@Zanuvar]

Absolutely love this! The only thing I wish there was a version of was with the "boss battle" music sequences there was an indicator to the in game actions that melded in time with the music. Example when Chicory does her attacks and has that "screech" sound before the clawing attack it adds to the music sounds but it's absent from the OST version. Or with the Blackberry sequence the sounds of her "stomp" attack which was like a little drum/percussion sound that trailed after the player but felt in time with the music. It just adds a little more depth to the music I feel.

[@M3L4M4R]

Teatime Meadows legit makes me wanna sit down and cry every time i hear it. i can't stay in that area in-game for too long or it'll get to me, haha. What a beautifully melancholy piece of music.

I'm a little late to the party - just finally played Celeste a few months ago, then was in the mood to actually install Chicory, both games that have been in my library since release. It didn't take long to recognize some of the similarities with some of the music, but I didn't think too much on it. After finishing Chicory, I came to listen to the soundtrack again and I'm not surprised at all to find you as a key component of both games. In retrospect it's kinda funny to me that I played both of these so close to one another without any connection or reason, and you happened to work on both of them. All that said, thank you. You've made wonderful music and the memories of the experience with these games will be strong in my mind and others' for decades to come. Your uplifting melodies make me feel like I'm a kid again, not many people can do that! Keep doing you, and I look forward to hearing any future endeavors you're a part of!

I know it's been a while but Lena, you did so fantastic with Chicory's OST. You and the devs are an equal part of how amazing it is. It managed to even drag me from a serious depressive period in my life and you brought me back into something better, something that words cannot thank you for.

Just beat the game after seeing some footage and I had no idea you were the composer going into it. As soon as I heard eyes in the darkness I was suspicious it might be you, and Probably Ancient Evil confirmed it. Fantastic work again Lena, I'm always excited to see the work you do for Indie games.

[@Poondaedalin]

I remember when I happened upon pieces of the soundtrack when you posted some of it back in August (they didn't show up from a KZbin search, but they did appear through the sidebar). In particular, I found Soaking on Spoons Island. I can't really describe it, but the piece has a beautiful stillness and calm to it. Then, a few days ago, I heard mention of this game and decided to pick it up. I almost fell out of my chair when I got to Spoons Island and realized the pieces were one and the same. What a truly beautiful soundtrack.

[@AquesLevaro]

Thank you for creating this absolutely beautiful piece of art. I originally listened to the Celeste OST after playing through the game, and just recently came around to finally play Chicory. I knew I would absolutely love this game, and my intuition was right. The beautiful woodwinds, the piano as well as the composition itself, the different use of real instruments in crontrast to the synth and electronic ones as well as the audio manipulation translate absolutely beautiful the feelings taking place. And the well composed and extremely closly recorded arrangements are gorgeous. I just love beeing able to hear the acoustic of the instruments inner workings itself alongside its performance. I especially love 'More Than Myself' with it beeing ever so rarely teasered as a release of tension and mystery in 'Spoons Island'. I always longed for that moment, that brief piano piece and wished it would last longer. And when it finally played on that mountain top with that view, I was absolutely taken by the moment. Thank you so much for that. Of course that's what I love about the intro of 'The Mountain Top' as well. Not to forget all the other motives in there and alongside the whole soundtrack! It's a real inspiration, let me tell you that. I really wished more would know about the game and it's OST. Thank you so so much for making this beautiful, emotional journey. Thank you so so much.

[@soyadesu]

Lena, your music means more to me than you'll ever know. Hearing some of these sounds again while playing Chicory having played Celeste - it's like hearing the voice of an old friend again. So much love for you

[@BUGFlower413]

I finished Chicory last week and I have to say, I loved every second of it. Being somebody who likes to draw, but who always had insecurities about it, some of the moments hit me close, that and the whole situation with Chicory's depression, and the music was just gorgeous as always (one of the main reasons I wanted to play the game ngl) I loved so so much every single music ^w^. My favorite tracks so far would be Erase You, Abandon Me, Dinners, Song of the Wielders, MONSTER, She's Gone, The Wielder's Legacy, Something New and the 2 final boss' tracks (and personally, both final boss' tracks, History Against Us and Do the Impossible are my favorite musics from you. Those gave me the same hype as the first time I listened to Reach for the Summit in Celeste ^w^)

I wanted to say thank you for your work on these tracks for this wonderful game. I remember walking into Potluck to visit my parents, and was already enjoying the wonderful tones of the song, but then the layers got stripped back and I found myself getting so emotional when speaking my parents with the guitar in the background. I go back to my parents house regularly just to sit and listen to that guitar and visit. Then when its time to leave, hearing the bright tones kick back to life is so fulfilling. Thank you so, for your wonderful music

The Mountain Top - Chicory: A Colorful Tale (4:18) Lyrics: Standing on the mountain top The world looks very small They’re watching me, but they can’t see How scared I am at all What if they notice I’m just making All of this up as I go? All my fears cloud the frigid air Like flurried falling snow Standing on the mountain top Never thought that I’d belong I wonder how I climbed so far And proved myself so wrong What if there’s something I can do now That I’m way up high? Could I learn to be a better me? I guess I’ll have to try Climbing down the mountain side To find my way back home I want to be where they can see I can’t do it alone It’s hard to know where I should go When all those I love are down there I could guide them back to the top It’s a lovely view to share
