Don't Starve Together - Main Theme on a music box

Meet the newly discovered fourth transformation of Chester that occurs when you feed him with nine papyruses: Music Chester! He looks just like good old Chester albeit more square and with a crank on its side.
Don't Starve Together is a cooperative survival game by Klei Entertainment with very cool hand-drawn cartoony graphics where you are dropped into a wonderful yet unwelcoming world in which you have to explore and do your best to survive against a plethora of things such as - but not limited to: the hunger, the cold, the heat, hounds, frogs, bees, mosquitoes, weird spiky tentacles, the hunger, fire, giant walking trees, angry mechanical chess pieces that want you dead, your own insanity, and, oh, did I mention the hunger? Together with my friends Willow ("I assure you, there is no way this forest fire I started will reach our camp"), Wigfrid ("If it moves, I shall fight it") and Webber ("I HATE those pigs"), we tried and tried again, and eventually managed to survive an ENTIRE year! Well, once. And then we died of hunger. Or a giant, I can't really remember, but definitely some of that thing about not starving. At least we always had our nice little walking dog-like hairy chest along with us. You most definitely should try it with some friends! (or at least people that won't try to steal your beefalo hat or set you on fire)
In the game, each character's voice is represented by an instrument that is played when they speak such as a flute or a trumpet. To me, the game's theme sounds like a sort of conversation between those characters where each musical phrase involves different people. Listen to it carefully, you can always hear three or four voices in each one, with small interjections and exclamations here and there! That would obviously not work on a music box, but I tried to keep around two melodic lines per phrase.
I actually started this arrangement two years ago and had to come back to it several times until I was happy with the result. I was so glad when I finally managed to get a good take after messing it up near the end a grand total of seven times in a row! The chesterising of the music box was also a ton a fun 😁
The original score of the game was composed by Vince de Vera, Jason Garner, and Emmett Hall.
Arranged for a 30-notes music box with MusicBox Composer.

Excellent.

[@HalfemptyPropaneTank]

This is so cool, I love how it makes don't starve even more unnerving then it already is!

[@corruptiongaming72]

It really shows just how terrifying the constant can be.

[@404_coffee9]

YOOOOOO this is so cool you should send this video to klei!

[@varvaravahrusheva3257]

it's so scary and beautiful

[@MultiBadboy666]

This sounds really cool. I think music boxes is something I need to look into now....

[@BoxedMusic]

Now you have been converted too! Need... to make... more...

[@Shadow_Wolf557]

[@malcariel]

Tu as oublié ce terrible fléau qui nous a valu de nombreuses morts également... le laaaag...

[@BoxedMusic]

Noooon, pas le laaaag !

[@oleksii-kozak]

[@dirklops]

[@lameysemateo4770]

Terrifiant !!!!!!

[@BoxedMusic]

N'est-ce pas ! Même si en vrai il se comporte comme un petit chien tout joyeux qui nous sautille autour en faisant "Boing boing" :p

[@levangus]

Very cool! Nice one,man)

[@Dodo-bz5yt]

Крайне мило

[@MURDERPILLOW.]

Can you do Ragtime? Theres a music box cover in the game that leaves stuff to be desired

[@BoxedMusic]

Is it another track of DST?

[@MURDERPILLOW.]

@@BoxedMusic Yes

[@Ministreperso]

Nan mais combien ça couterait pour vous en acheter un 0_0 ???

[@BoxedMusic]

Ha ha, en vrai ça serait trop cher si j'en faisais d'autres 😅 Le mécanisme coûte dans les 35-40€, la boîte je l'ai faite découper et graver au laser pour environ 20€, et y a un peu de visserie, en plus de l'assemblage et de l'expédition. Et ça c'est sans compter sur les quelques heures à percer des trous... ^^'

[@Ministreperso]

@@BoxedMusic Et si vous devriez donner un prix ? 😅 car c'est pour un l'anniversaire d'un ami qui est traumatisé par don't starve et nous cherchons depuis pas mal de temps mais rien qui peut arriver à la cheville de ce que vous avez fait...

[@Ministreperso]

@@BoxedMusic Car je serai prêt a y mettre le prix aha

[@BoxedMusic]

Oups, j'ai oublié de vous répondre 😅 Alors, je ne suis pas vraiment intéressé par en refaire une car ça me reprendrait trop de temps. En revanche, si vous êtes motivés pour faire la bande vous-même, alors vous pouvez acheter des assemblages boîte + mécanisme sur Etsy pour ~65€ avec quelques bandes cartonnées à poinçonner (cherchez "Pack DIY Boîte à musique 30 notes"), et je peux vous envoyer le fichier à imprimer pour faire la musique sur les bandes, soit juste le "thème", soit en complet mais très long à faire vous-même et il vous faudra plus de bandes vierges. Niveau déco, je peux aussi vous scanner la langue et les pieds, il vous restera juste à faire les cornes (je les ai faites en pâte Fimo blanche). En tout cas c'est à la fois très attentionné et très diabolique comme cadeau si je comprends bien 😁

[@iceman6887]

Only 30 likes that's complete rip off you should deserve more than that

[@BoxedMusic]

Well, that's 31 now ! 😁

[@0954082674]

Could you do goodnight sweet possums from ice age ?

[@BoxedMusic]

I listened to it and it's nice and quiet. Not sure if it would work on a music box but I've added it my ever-growing pool of tunes to pick. Thanks for the suggestion 😉 Also, I haven't seen Ice Age in ages and I don't remember seeing this particular one at all, so I'll have to check it out!
