Horizon Forbidden West | Composer Spotlight (Part 1)

[@SnaxanGaming]

We all know how great the soundtrack yet it's still an underrated part of the game, it's that good. So much work and love went into it.

[@TheGlintJaw]

This is legit one of the greatest games I've ever played. From the open world to the combat, the platforming, the puzzle solving, the graphics, the environments, the story, the lore, the music, the characters, the Cinematics, everything! I freaking love this game! Bravo Guerrilla, amazing stuff!

[@kelvinr2507]

Man, the amount of collaboration and respect for each artist's process and talents is so cool to see and hear. They all really did a fantastic job to give Horizon such a unique and memorable sound. Bravo to all.

[@davidguerrero941]

Thank you for City on the Mesa.

The soundtrack evokes so much emotion from me when exploring the Horizon world as Aloy. They have done an exceptional job at creating music which compliments the narrative and environments so well. So happy to see the composers in the spotlight this week, along with the voice actors during previous weeks.

I am a Horizon series super fan when I say this, yet bias aside the music here is beyond special, I dare say perfect. I do not have a background in music either but from a listeners perspective it’s infallible. The sound tracks have this level of reverence to the old world/ new beginning/emotional/ euphoric sound to it that is awe inspiring. I listen to the Horizon Zero Dawn soundtrack at work almost daily and can’t wait to be able to play Forbidden West when I get off work in about a week. Once I experience the music in game first, then I can listen to the new sound track while I’m at work. Thank you for the incredible thought given to the work y’all did musically and understanding the importance that music does for a player in a game such as Horizon’s. It is much appreciated!

I listen to lyricless music while I work, and HZD Soundtrack has been my #1 on Spotify Playlist since 2017. Thank you for bringing your amazing talents to this. The game would not be as big of a hit without all of you.

Oh how I love the music!! I’m especially soo very amazed by the music production! So much color and variety and especially creativity, work sooo well in like the quests and to help set up the mood for when like you’re in a fight or something. Or just everything really. And all the creative ideas on how you play the bass or guitar or any instrument- really allow it to fit in with the setting and mood of the situation is stupendously phenomenal!! The music production or behind the scenes of the music of HFW is just… by the forge it’s incredible!! And don’t get me started with Julie because her voice is just…🤯🤯🤯😭😭 it’s just straight up beautiful. Anyway the artists Joris, Niels, and the other music producers (can’t remember sorry.😅😅) and of course, JULIE ELVEN!!! God bless you guys! You guys are soo talented. Anyway have a blessed and exciting week ahead everyone!!!☺️☺️☺️ God Bless you always!!!😊😊😊

[@kellyramirez7465]

I adore all these behind the scenes! It makes me appreciate the game all the more!

[@carlosalcaino]

One of the instruments I most enjoy listening to is cello, I love the different variations of it in both games

[@gamegnome]

Loving these behind the scenes content, keep them coming.

[@georgiabradley1712]

The music is truly beautiful and sparks great emotion! And I love videos like these! Need to do more interviews xx 😁💖

[@drewlindstrom5976]

I play the soundtracks of Zero Dawn, Forbidden West, and Burning Shores all the time while I work remotes at home. It's so nostalgic with memories from the game, but it's also just legitimately awesome in its own right. Bravo, composers!

[@TheArtOfKrieg]

Wow, I love hearing insights of composers and developers and I love the music of Horizon (and music in general, but especially videogame music), so I’m very appreciative of this type of content. Incredible work from these composers. The blend of tribal and futuristic themes, while seemingly at odds, come together to create a masterful soundtrack.

[@Nighthawk5015]

The amount of thought and work that goes into making this world is amazing. It really shows in the final product.

[@rachelkiesser5406]

I listen to both HZD and TFW soundtrack all the time. I find time to be so compelling, moving, and calming. Each song is so special and unique. I never get bored of of them! The love you all have for your work makes me so happy as a player! I know I'm supporting an awesome company who really cares about each aspect of this game. I'll admit I'm not very knowledgeable about music but I love listening to musicians discuss their work and learning about why things are the way they are. This was video I have been waiting for since the original "Meet the Composers" video. I'm so glad it was a full episode! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@SieNoel]

this makes me miss my old job so much 😭it's awesome to see how similar this process is to what we did, and yet how different. i love the way it came about!

[@robertlawrence9000]

Amazing games! Graphics, music, sound, acting, story and gameplay is top notch!

[@reydecangrejos7087]

So glad you did this video - the music was absolutely the reason i fell in love with HZD

[@danehbear]

Yes, let's not forget the musicians who were another important part of this masterpiece!

[@shaynesaulnier]

They did a fantastic job through the series. I really loved the ambiance they created multiple times over

[@josiahdipietro2855]

The Music in this game is wild!

[@BlueTrain77]

Would love a reissue of the HZD score on vinyl along with a deluxe vinyl edition for HFW, please. I have so much respect for the work that these composers do and I’d like to support them with more than the tiny profit they get from Spotify even though I’ll listen there too.

[@orionmich20]

Great, now put the soundtrack on Spotify

[@AS-vr6jw]

It’s already on Spotify…

[@orionmich20]

@@AS-vr6jw where? It doesn’t show up when I look it up

[@AS-vr6jw]

@@orionmich20 Try looking for ‘Horizon Forbidden West: The Isle of Spires’. It shows up for me when I search.

[@AS-vr6jw]

@@orionmich20 You can also try the soundtrack on KZbin if the Spotify search doesn’t work. I found one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5zXioh_jJd6qdk

[@mangrulgaming]

The soundtrack for HFW is amazing so far

[@kevandmal]

I love the music in the game! When is the soundtrack going to be available to download?? I can't find it anywhere 😫

[@grahammetcalfe6679]

The HZD soundtrack inspired me into getting into game composing! Love the soundtrack, although I miss the more obvious diegetic music cues in the HFW soundtrack.

[@Flint_Inferno]

Can this be added to Spotify as a podcast episode?

[@Red_Rebel]

I want te new Aloy Theme and the combat soundtrack!

[@6helloworld938]

Horizon❤️

[@gamploy9957]

I really liked the game

[@DominickvdHoff]

Gaaf!

[@mia_plays-ib1sd]

i see this on years ago

[@gamploy9957]

I don't know if this letter will reach the PlayStation itself. I don't know how to write to the PlayStation company itself. I'm from Russia. Games for me are the most precious thing I have, they help me in the most difficult moment of my life. And what do I see now that games have begun to turn away from me, publishers send me to fight with something, and take them away from me, games, the very value in my life, I don’t understand, I’m a simple player, why games give me, games that should bring me closer, repel me more and more from others. Now games are frustrating me more and more, games that should bring me joy turn away from me. Why? I don't want to go back to my gray and meaningless life without games.

Best Game Forever Sexy Guerilla Team love you Boys and Girls 🏆🖤🌲🖤

[@tilda5944]

I state that I have been waiting for this game for a long time and I like it a lot, but unfortunately it has a problem that bothers me a lot, and I think it's not valid only for me, I'm talking about the shimmering problem, the weed in the game is really bad to see, not all height of an 80 euro Sony first party .... I hope you fix this problem as soon as possible.
