Smoking - Soundtrack (2024)

2:15 Nicotine entering the bloodstream part is so good. Gave me a Tarantino movie vibe

[@stevenfragoza46]

I like the part where Nicotine brings it's chemical buddies more (without context this sounds so weird)

[@Deltexterity]

you guys are capable of making literally anything, this is so different from what you usually do and yet you did it SO well despite that! i'm genuinely amazed, you're a huge inspiration to me

[@Epicmountainmusic]

Thank you so so much

[@themosaicshow]

3:40 sounds exactly like a smoker’s body starting to be destroyed by nicotine. 4:12 hit the hardest because it sounds like a smoker clinging onto the good feeling smoking gives them, but they’re aware they’re feeling worse and worse. 7:22 and onward sounds like beginning the arduous process of quitting. stellar job, epic mountain.

[@crow513AAA]

4:12 feels like a smoker's memories of smoking for the first time and it hitting so hard

[@XxjapanX]

I've never went the extra mile to check out the background music from kurzgesagt video. But this smoking video's soundtrack was so awesome, it made me find Epic Mountain. Thanks for the exhilarating ride! The mood shifts within the 9mins are phenomenal. My favourite part is the addition of base drums at 4:47 to resemble the heartbeat quickening, it makes it feels like the stakes are high now!

[@Epicmountainmusic]

A warm welcome to you! Glad you found us

[@C-Farsene_5]

I've been looking them up since the moonfall vid

[@MitchtopiaTechnologies]

I did not notice the heartbeat, there’s so much in this song I love

[@XxjapanX]

@@C-Farsene_5 thanks for that. Looked up Moon Crash from them and it’s so good as well. What a journey from start to end.

[@XxjapanX]

@@Epicmountainmusic looking forward to more!

[@AL1Fraz]

this is the first one utilizing vocals and it sounds nice👌

[@akamonanimations6260]

I think Epic Mountain has used vocals a few times before this but yes, it does sound awesome.

[@hazb8026]

Quaser uses Steve Taylor's voice. And biggest star uses a Latin style choir

[@flandrescarlet506]

​@hazb8026 The Largest Black hole also uses an operatic, possibly Latin choir

[@AL1Fraz]

Ah I see, I stopped watching Kurzgesagt for a while so I didn't know

[@MitchtopiaTechnologies]

Just to add to the list, What is Time

[@Popoill1]

The soothness and seducibility of that voice is truly smart representation of an addiction. The undertone is set to be exciting yet sadening (especially in the final segment). A masterfully crafted OST!

[@GrinScar]

The title of the original video left me flabbergasted

[@-WMD-Edutainment]

It draws attention from ,,pro smokers" wich is good, if you want to convince them otherwise.

[@stevenfragoza46]

"snocking is..WAIT WHA-"

[@flandrescarlet506]

I'm still flabbergasted Kurzgesagt made the video to begin with

[@Epicmountainmusic]

[@ChasingMoonMoths]

The riffs, vocals and instruments are perfect! Epic mountain doesn’t disappoint again

[@norsehorse84]

The echoing sax that starts at 8:00 is such a great way to end this melancholy journey of addiction, especially when the video ends with some positives that people can do to help themselves out. Gives off a sense of both sadness and hope that makes me tear up for some reason. This is definitely one of your best, Epic Mountain! :D

[@hmk1635]

This a nice piece. 8 days of no smoke guys :)) Thankyou Kurzgesagt.

[@XelVedra]

Very different style from what you usually create, but you did such a great job portraying in music the seductive-like attraction that nicotin creates ^^ The start reminded me so much of Crash Bandicoot though xD

[@akamonanimations6260]

That’s what I’m saying

[@snaukball8764]

Starts with a soothing vocal melody then hits you with harder instruments later on, just like smoking does.

[@IslaKariese]

Why are these soundtracks always so damn catchy!? *starts bobbing my head to a song about smoking*

[@1.125-u6i]

I don't know why, but the melody at 2:52 is so catchy

[@russizmaylov4875]

Angelic. Amazing. Addictive!

[@Techmoblad]

Heard this song in the intro and immediately had to come find it. Really good work!

[@mosquito5032]

As a saxophone player, the sax solo made me so happy, and it is beautiful, I love the reverb and the high section. Not sure if there has been a saxophone feature in your music before. (Do it more often) This is definitely a new contender for your favorite song of mine. You guys are the best!

[@mosquito5032]

Also the sax earlier is great too, just less obvious

[@flandrescarlet506]

This is so different from your other songs, I love the unique style for this! It's great at representing the pleasure and grunginess that comes from smoking.

[@happymaster19]

0:01 - Get Lit 3:41 - Party of Poisons 7:22 - Snuff the Puff Very different. Epic Music is most of what I listen to because they are not a band bound to genre or sound. Whether I'm looking for something fun, sad, ominous, or just pure awe, Epic has it. This felt very noir. 👌

[@themosaicshow]

the timestamp titles are perfect fr

[@jacoponobile7752]

Why it is so catchy?

[@snaukball8764]

Because it's repetitive and predictable, which makes one thing stick in your head instead of constantly changing. Just like smoking.

This is so incredible. There is really nothing better than a video with music custom taylored to every moment, what a treat. I love the vocals at the beginning, so beautiful, but alluring like a siren... dangerous like cigarettes! And the moment at 0:1:14 building up to the lighting of the cigarette, really great musical storytelling. You've outdone yourselves Epic Mountain!

[@neovink6922]

This rivals your absolute masterpiece that was the rouge planets theme

[@flandrescarlet506]

This song is great, but if we're talking about masterpieces, have you heard The Largest Black Hole by chance? If you have a different opinion from me that's valid, but for me that's their masterpiece

[@MrHeartbleed]

Now I have this song's motif stuck in my head. Very sticky and fun! (It sounds a bit like Marijuana for me.)

[@tops1954]

Yeah you can hear the inspiration from the cannabis soundtrack in this one :D

[@AlexanderOnFire]

Starting from 7:22 has some of the Loneliness Melody as a base in it. Very nice.

[@Davued00]

I love your work! You guys are always innovating. So much of your music has become a daily companion of mine, always stimulating my imagination.

[@thibaultghesquiere]

this track is insane. The Piano part from 7:20 is especially good.

[@ExileCestus]

Yes absolutely. The build up to piano as well. 🎹

[@bolestah]

This song is absolutely perfect for the video damn.

[@yunfengzhou]

love the vocals with this one

[@tops1954]

This is another fire song as you could probably tell from the smoke. This has to be the most distinct soundtrack you guys have made so far & gives me jazzy feelings like the cannabis track & some parts remind me of the milk ost oddly enough. The ending sounds more somber as they explain the problems with smoking :(

[@akamonanimations6260]

Wow, this is so cool! I love how first it kinda sounds like a sly soundtrack, giving it that unhinged feel which is generalized about people who smoke. Then the harp at the beginning is like that temptation making it seem like it’s really good.

[@akamonanimations6260]

I meant spy instead of sly

[@Jan-z5p5m]

Genuinely incredible song, really hope more people use your music

[@HC_Petrie]

Copyright? They only make it for Kurzgesagt, not any other channel

[@Epicmountainmusic]

​@@HC_Petrie We do make custom music for other channels too. But each soundtrack is only allowed to be used for that specific video/project. You can hire us to compose more music, but please don't steal it

​@@Epicmountainmusic are transcriptions allowed? Like, taking the melody and using it as like, a backing for another piece of music, or maybe a remix

[@atkvin]

3:40 this part on is just my favorite part. it's so catchy and groovy! (i wonder, is the catchiness of the beat intended to parallel the story's focus on the addictiveness of nicotine? mindblown)

[@stevenfragoza46]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@Technicellie]

I really really love this one! It is definetly one that is more risky than usual but you have mastered it so well! ^^ (On a side-note: I really REALLY want to have a voice like that... Not exactly that but into that direction. Tho I know there is not only luck but a ton of training involved so I have the deepest respect of the singer!)

[@toetie2019]

Is the graphic department separate from the Motion Picture Soundtrack devision? Do they supply the graphic design for the cover art ahead of time? Or is all the composing done after the general constructs of the original video have been concluded, because of how the music transitions and fits perfectly into the segments of the animation and overall construct of the video and it's narration. How does stuff like that work, I'm really intrigued.
