La Danse du Gobelet en Papier (Dedusmuln’s Theme)

[@mrbones9332]

it's literally the dance of the paper cup. Has the Muln dedicated his entire life to study of the water cooler?

[@NeoNovastar]

Some seek knowledge they venture for their entire lives!!

[@mrbones9332]

Truely the greatest invention since the swivel chair.

I imagine being at a water cooler in an office setting and this just plays while the water slowly pours for 4+ minutes.

Somehow a sexless, faceless, ass-tentacle monster is the most relatable character, because he just wants to explore the hylics world and find arcade machines to play on. Also who doesn't love a nice refreshing cup of water?

this sounds like an adventurer's theme while he's exploring uncharted territory, with only himself and his physical capabilities. it sounds actually epic, i love this and it helps me get dedusmuln's personality a lot more!!

he's exploring the water cooler

[@khornate01thedestroyerofis11]

he's always been an archeologist of sorts. When you first meet him in Hylics, he's camping out in a tent in the mountain. I love the consistency from start to finish, how it seems like there was never a single moment of doubt in the writer's mind as to what kind of person he is.

@@connordarvall8482 more accurate to say it was recorded on a iPhone. Chuck and Mason both are playing actually instruments for the most part. Just goes to show you don't need the beat equipment in the world to record and release good music.

Come to think of it… Gibby does have some similair vibes to Dio when you think about it... (If he had C-MOON instead)

[@desolationofprog5729]

The splashes and glittering of the synths here sound so magical! Almost makes me wanna cry I love it so much ;) The archeological study of Pre-Accretion artifacts can be a tough job (even a straight-up murderous one if you run into the wrong crowd), but also a very beautiful and fulfilling one

[@Mike14264]

Say, if you were up to elucidating me on this matter, what's the Accretion? Part of me feels like it's the event where folks are cursed to speak nonsense word-salad, but I could be wrong. I do know Pongorma lived through that era tho.

[@desolationofprog5729]

@@Mike14264 Admittedly the game itself doesn't really go into any detail on what exactly the Accretion was. If memory serves I believe it had something to do with ending the Age of Sages that happened a long time ago. Considering that the term "accretion" means the accumulation of layers of a material, I always theorized that it had to do with the original Hylemxylem collapsing and covering up the old cities under thick layers of terrestrial juice (hence the underground ruins). But like I said, that's just my own personal interpretation!

[@Mike14264]

@@desolationofprog5729 yeah, I did discuss that with other people, and I think that's the most logical theory. Most of the elaborate or weird terms in Hylics are still actual, real words, so maybe all we need is a quick search for our primitive brains to really get a grip on them.

[@Mike14264]

The Dance of the Paper Cup! I love how exotic and jungle-esque it feels! Like an archeologist in a wild, unexplored environment!

A few days ago during a conversation about art, we came up with the question of whos our favourite contemporary artist and you were the first name that came to my mind, almost instantly lol

[@cloudycretin]

It feels so good to hear segments of Prevailing Westerlies in here! Both songs really fit with Dedusmuln’s overall vibe.

[@blanketray6050]

Funky! Love the warbling, bubbly sound in the background, akin to the bubbles in a water cooler!

[@xMrPhantofulx]

Hey Chuck, if you're reading this, did you make these character themes with a personality in mind or is it more up to interpretation? The themes are sick, and I feel like it gives each character at least twice as much personality as they had without them. Thank you for all your work!

[@chuck_salamone]

They can be whatever you want them to be, but I have always had certain things in mind for each character as I have gotten to know them!

[@chau-tickle2470]

Listening to the slippery whistle sound in this theme, I naturally appeared in my mind of twisted plants growing from the ground, like returning to the maze full of monsters in the game. Typically Hylics music. Perfect!

Siento que esta canción transmite un aura de encanto y misterio muy particular... Suena a el tema de introducción a un documental ficticio, de una tierra hermosa y salvaje, llena de determinación esperando a ser descubierta por el espectador.

La canción de contrucción de mundo perfecta.
