Me playing base game XB2: "There's no way this OST can get any better" Torna DLC: "Hold my beer"

[@luketatum4867]

Listening to this song and re-experiencing Gormott playing the DLC is when it first hit me. The Torna "era" is meant to be a call back to the 1920's. The gold, the angular and geometric elements found in Torna's architecture and emblem, and especially the jazz. In the characters, I think Addam embodies this hopeful passion for life as well. It boggles my mind how well the soundtracks for XC2 and the Torna DLC were handled.

[@maximmillennia]

[@Rides1283man]

@@brink7894 there is no such thing as "traditional" jazz. Jazz has evolved so much over the years and encompasses so much music, you can't really say that some jazz is less jazzy than others

[@brink7894]

@@Rides1283man actually i can. traditional jazz uses chord progressions built on 2-5s and has a down beat on the 2 and 4 in a 4/4 progression. generally speaking it’ll be more focused on improvisation so that each individual player is allowed more self expression. comparatively, acid jazz takes those concepts of improvisation and uses a more electronic sound to it, with a more standardized beat; for the most part they land on the 1 and 3, which is relatively common in western music. it uses a lot of the same concepts as traditional jazz does; colorful 7th chords, improvised layers, etc. but the music is more focused on the demonstration of unique chord colors than the demonstration of improvisation, as well as being “funkier” than traditional jazz. much of the torna OST gets closer to traditional jazz sounds and ideas, being improvised and having very natural sounds, whereas persona has a lot more of the poppy, acid jazz sounds. my original comment, admittedly, was a bit hyperbolic for the sake of getting likes, but don’t act like i don’t know what i’m talking about. when i hear this song versus a persona song, i’m calling this jazz before i’m calling persona music jazz.

[@Rides1283man]

@@brink7894 since when was traditional jazz the "base" of jazz? Although you could consider things that started jazz, like New Orleans jazz as "traditional jazz", how does that make other forms of jazz less jazzy? Jazz changing over the years shows that no subgenre of jazz is "truly" jazz or the "standard" of jazz. Classifying and basically treating different types of jazz inequally is the same mindset of people who considered bebop as a betrayal of jazz. All types of jazz are jazz, period. There is no need for jazz to be closer to so-called "traditional" jazz in order for it to be jazz.

According to an interview with the game's director the jazzy soundtrack for Torna was because he watched the movie whiplash and because of that he really wanted to include jazz into the main game's soundtrack, but it was too late to change up the music style so he just saved it for the dlc.

[@ericshenderovich6023]

My favorite part is at 2:54 when the chords are instead of repeating like in 1:17 (Fmaj7 to Em) go to (G C) which is come's as a surprise since even on the original track from xc2 they don't resolve that way. It's like a breath of fresh air, after all this time.
