Destiny 2 Fan-made Witness Raid OST

[@Breshi123]

Please let me know what other kinds of Destiny music videos you'd like to see me upload? More pyramidified mixes? More fan-made music like what's heard here? Did you like the motif videos? Let me know below!

[@mayhem-2889]

@@Breshi123 it’s really a shame these soundtracks aren’t in game the final soundtrack is so fitting for the raid version of the witness cus it keeps it dark and not so triumphant making it a fight for death and existence! Amazing job splitting them up into phases almost makes me want a redo of salvations edge

[@harrymarshall4080]

Ghost of the deep brought up the question, what would lucent oryx be like. Would love to here a lucent version of regicide.

[@follychiwa]

I really need a video showing off all the songs where there reference the Destiny theme leitmotifs..

[@itskingcactus4618]

One idea I had was showing every instrument all of the destiny tracks or every destiny like track you have made e.g To victory & fighting forever. Make have a example of the sounds being played in the background. EDIT: what do you mean by motif videos?

[@Breshi123]

@itskingcactus4618 I used to do videos that would showcase every time a certain motif was heard in Destiny.

[@erikm8373]

this music makes me feel nostalgic for my first time going through a raid which I didn't even play because it doesn't exist

[@ShadowMan-BO6]

You lost me

[@thehamburglarxl6574]

i felt that the pyramid motif was heavily underused in the raid. thank you for this

[@Breshi123]

It was odd to me as well how little "Salvation" showed up in Final Shape. I wonder if it had to do with The Witness and Dread no longer being the "darkness".

[@davida1229]

⁠@@Breshi123the Witness was revealed as not being “the darkness” in TWQ (and teased in the BL seasons as well), Salvation was always the Fleet main theme regardless of this fact. I don’t know why it wasn’t used more in the raid, probably because they used it a lot since ShadowKeep and maybe wanted something a bit more different here, regardless the “instruments” and the overall atmosphere still feels really close to the Witness imo.

[@Breshi123]

Ah. I'm not as familiar with the lore. Thanks for the explanation!

[@BrazarB]

@@Breshi123 plus the Witness's main motif kinda has the start-up of Salvation but with a little more notes at the end. Salvation as a whole is more of a Witness thing than a Darkness thing, as it does preach of Salvation alot. Ig as we got more familiar with the Witness, we saw through it's "Salvation" you could say. Now that the Witness is dead tho & it was the villain behind the Darkness, they might have Salvation (Veil version) be more associated with the Veil now since that version sounds like it's uncorrupted by the Witness in a sense

[@Brrrstrument]

@@davida1229 what i am confused about through the entire tfs campaign, is that at the end of lightfall, pyramid ships got sucked into the portal, where did they go? unless their material was repurposed for the monolith, which i guess is plausible, but then, were there no disciples? seems unlikely, unless the herald is a disciple, though the herald appears to have some taken energy, it may simply be similar to sloane, or oryx, oryx had a taken form, appeared taken, but wasn't, same thing may be with the herald, also taken have all of their armor, corrupted, the herald does not, and taken have blighted eyes, the herald does not, can't rule out an eliksni disciple.

[@SaltykovAlexandr-y5n]

DUDE. THIS INSANELY GOOD. Im blown away, did he really did it all himself? this guy 100% must be a professional. there's so much work and effort put into this that it's even hard to believe it's just fan-made music, not unreleased part of commercial work. not only it's great music, both overall and in de-tails and sounds, it's very smartly done to fit game-like music system with all these ambient-action-dps-etc. structuring. unbelievable amount of work and skill. thank you

I feel like this is the end of Final Shape in another timeline lol. This is really really pretty. As much as I enjoyed what final shape brought, this feels incredible.

[@Shadow-r7e]

it is crazy fact this is the universe the witness envisioned everything frozen in time so he and the precursors could only exist in the universe. this was going to happen to us if had not stopped him an order of chaos and stillness in the universe

[@ARavingLobster]

Holy crap Breshi this is unreal. The tonal continuation of what we got in Light Fall and Witch Queen, but finally at it's darkest and most forboding point, is incredible. Your understanding of the musical feel and formula present throughout a lot of Destiny and Halo is amazing and really shows here. Unbelievably well done dude!

[@schwarzegnade7503]

These tracks always give me some feeling of mournful determination. Catharsis. "This needs to be seen through." Makes me imagine some version of the story where our relationship with the Witness was more personal. Lamenting both what it did to us and the Traveler, but also taking pity on the Witness in a way.

[@angryscotsman2504]

Fingers crossed you win #MOTW, you put a crazy amount of effort into the D2 music scene ❤️

[@korakatk318]

Even though I stopped playing Destiny, this reminded me of why I used to love it

[@Altherot]

My theory on why Salvation wasn't used as much in Unmade - Salvation represents the veil of Darkness The Witness was hidding behind. It represents the mysterious ancient evil that was approaching from the deep corner of the universe. It represents the Black Fleet. However it does not represent The Witness itself, because when we finally face that entity, we've already overcome the Veil of Darkness - the Black Fleet, Dread, all the enemies. The veil is lifted and we face The Witness in its most exposed and vulnerable state. We no longer fear it. It is no longer scary, mysterious entity with insane army at its disposal. We don't hear the theme, because we've reached past it and engaged The Witness at face value. It is us vs it with gloves off. It is no longer about Salvation.

[@MasterNorris2014]

44:42 this is outstanding. I see you took a page out of John Williams book on turning The Emperor theme triumphant like the phantom menace. You did the same thing with the pyramid motif. Well done… VERY well done

[@SlimeyZockt]

Oh I absolutely LOVE the inclusion of the pyramid sounddesign from Witch Queen. A reason why I like that raid aswell. Especially because the Witness isn't supposed to be as violent as Rhulk, more composed yet that makes it even more deadly I also love that you captured that drive in the music throughout all the encounters, like other raid osts

[@GhostCakes23]

What an incredible arrangement, this is some really amazing stuff Breshi, well done! I love the difference between this arrangement and what we got in Salvations Edge. I can see some clear inspirations throughout the track as well as very well thought out chord progressions. The percussion section in the Witness phase 1 tension was especially impressive, and is eerily similar to what they actually had created for the Witness, but both are super unique and well crafted. I loved the way that as DPS concludes, there are some clear draws from Oneirophobia in how the percussion evolves and how supporting vocals come in. In a very similar way to the actual raid as well, you wove the darkness and guardian motifs so beautifully together and it really made for an authentic Destiny music experience. Great job with this arrangement, you seriously nailed it.

[@Matthew-wb5mt]

I genuinely cannot tell that it’s fanmade, you did an amazing job!

[@harrymarshall4080]

The DPS music for the witness encounter is so good. It's fits the artwork for the video so well. It sounds angelic but us as players know the significance of the tune. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the tide changing... Of evil being purified. It's almost biblical in how it sounds. Would love to here a full version of this track.

[@kosame33]

Love your content! I started listening to these because for some reason Bungie's music isn't well documented and it's hard to find good tracks from particular segments of the game. Really appreciate how you form these OSTs because it really does make me feel like I'm fighting my way through a raid!

[@kosame33]

As a suggestion for future content, it would be cool to see more of these raid OSTs and maybe even organize some of Bungie's own music to do this with their music. Although, I'm not sure what your policy is for content yet because I only just started following your channel.

I much prefer the way you've approached Lightfall and Final Shape music. Your work has much more of the sound I would've expected from either DLC than what we got. I would've taken your work for the official over Bungie's for both. Your work around the two have way more weight, emotion, and general depth behind them than Bungie's which is something I never thought I'd say for something fan made. This is just, so much more fitting.

Hey Breshi, I know you made this now that the Raid is out and whatever but, I REALLY enjoyed the old version and I don't see why you can't have it on the channel still along with this one. Specifically the Witness track, here its a much more generic evil thing going on which is good and all but in the original raid mix the track was "We're here to win" and I just fucking LOVED the Low/Action/High Action mix. The build up with just the war drums into Laura's amazing voice kicking in for the pay off is what really made me fall in love with Fight Forever. Laura was also something I felt was missing in Final Shape since they kind of used her less, so please reupload the old version for my sake. Thanks

[@Breshi123]

Appreciate the kind words! I'm very proud of how We're Here to Win turned out so it's always cool to see folks liked that one. That old mix is still up and can be listened to here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqjdiGtsZa2VosU I had gotten a lot of feedback that We're Here to Win didn't fit the vibe of a Witness raid encounter which over time I agreed with.

I'm still on the first encounter music and I'm stunned by how easily I can picture this in game. You have mastered the Destiny music sound perfectly. This is truly amazing. You mentioned in another comment you use FL studio and Kontakt for this, how easy did you find it to mimic the sound style of each instrument? For example the drums in encounter 1 phase 2. Also the music nerd in me would love a behind-the-scenes video for some of this! :)

[@Breshi123]

Thank you for the kind words! It took a few years to get familiar with each Destiny composer's style before I got into making music myself. Once I started learning music production I had done a ton of research looking into what plugins and libraries the Bungie team use and invested into getting those for a more authentic sound. The drums in the first two encounter tracks were heavily inspired by Pieter Schlosser's style. Pieter likes to use libraries from 8Dio and Audio Imperia most.

[@wavelength6722]
