The song is themed around the emotions of dominus thrax. His emotions affect the world they are in like seasons. So this would kinda be the warframe version of vivaldis seasons.

[@MarcoMeatball]

Wowwwww

[@Giganotus]

The devs recently said on a stream that the comparison to Vivaldi's seasons was 100% intentional and they're delighted people noticed

[@5H4D3]

For some extra context, the character singing this is the Sorrowful Soprano and as the name suggests, she represents Thax's Sorrow.

[@ItsMeFPS]

It’s not Thrax, rather the drifters emotions becoming a reality because if the Void. The book ‘Tales of Duviri’ isn’t s child’s book, rather a book made to teach children how to keep their emotions in check in the event of Void Exposure, and what happens if you don’t. It however uses Thrax and his emotions to portray. So whilst technically you’re right, it’s actually our emotions since Thrax isn’t a real person, rather a Conceptual Embodiment, as everyone is in Duviri. That’s what I’ve put together with the lore and such

If you want to hear more of a string quartet, try listening in on the ost of Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscurum. It's set in a Victorian fantasy world with class and racial divides, in the backdrop of a naturalistic world of Magic and the merciless march of industrialization.

In the first piece its anger, and the skybox turns red with a glowing face of Dominus Thraxx silently screaming. The last one is envy and the sky turns this sickly green with giant blemishes that look like eyes staring down at you. Just so cool.

[@howitzer551]

The entire new area is also full of, not just opera, but musical and theatrical references. Most of the new named NPCs wear theatre masks and without going too deep into the lore (and not spoiling anybody) the whole thing is a kind of groundhog's day scenario only instead of being stuck in one day, the MC is stuck in his role in a repeating performance (oversimplified it but I said no spoilers). It is quite a unique plot!

[@ThatGuyRaylo]

for anyone who doesn't know, the part at 13:03 (he pauses it and cuts it off) that just sounds like a repeating string pattern, that then slightly lowers it's pitch, is a reference to "a thing" that happens at the very end of the new war quest...

[@Iron_Cutlass]

I remember from one of the developer streams, Duviri Paradox acts as an alternative starting point for the game, the player can choose to start the game normally, or play Duviri Paradox, so if there is any time to come back to the game, this would be it!

[@JanikLps]

First of all, thank you for this video. Its such a small part of this update, yet your analysis lets me appreciate the work and love they put in the music. [Spoilers for Duviri] You can actually meet the singer in the game. Luscinia, also known as the Soprano of Sorrow. She's the embodyment of Sadness in the World of Duviri. You can find her singing her lovely opera and actually talk to her. her voicelines: "I was created to be Sorrow. Written into beeing. To serve as a lesson. Can that change?" "Bombastine (the Embodyment of Envy) envys me. The kings favorit. He wishes we could trade places. So do I." "I experienced happiness, even love. I shall not speak of it. Only sing" "If the void truly preserves consciousness, then theres no hope that this will end"

3:42 3:53 I assume you haven't played the Duviri Paradox yet, right? Because you were so incredibly spot on, without realizing it. Duviri is about Dominus Thrax, an emotionally unstable ruler, that will enforce his way of having things. (And ingame we have multiple landscape themes to represent his different moods) And it makes me very happy to see how much attention and love can be put into single music tracks. I think I have never seen a person this excited for a song on a technical and historical level as you today - and that feeling is very contagious! :D

As soon as I started up Duviri and heard the music i aloud said " yep, Marco is definitely covering this " It's amazing how digital extremes was able to combine this music with the environments that's constantly changing depending on the mood of the child King.

Funny you should mention this music being almost for the stage, when the in game setting is a madman’s dreamscape essentially where he imprisoned so many citizens of the people he was with, except in said world they all have a very Old Playwright feel and a very drama 🎭 based themes also their skin is made of Porcelain Automata style parts very bluish and grey/gold with Drama 🎭 mask feels. So this music is essentially for a stage play you can interact with, feel, see, imagine, and live in….its never the same experience twice but always the same paths… it’s very interesting…even for those of us less inclined to operatic music.

All the music in Warframe is great and plays at the perfect moment and location. This opera piece from Duviri signifies emotion so wonderfully and the landscape shows each mood. In previous songs like “We all Lift Together” it’s that chain gang style of working off your debt. Or in “Sleeping in the Cold Below”, it’s how the crew know their fate should they fail their mission but they push forward anyways.

[@Flustershy]

Not sure how you were so quick to react to this, but I was so pleased to see this in my sub feed. As for the songs themselves it was very nice to see you notice the themes around the songs.

The update this song came from introduces a new world that changes form based on the emotions the ruler of the land is currently feeling, the opening isn't just an intro but also an indication of the king's rage, the obvious words "his curse on you" kinda lean into this, being followed by the despair or regret of his rage, after a time he picks himself up to experience a proper joy or happiness for a time and ending with a very brief note of envy his joy created and this envy resulting in a circle going back to rage. The story is a tragic one but there are a couple songs like this that describe the general story of the tragedy without revealing a single bit about it. These music writers know what they're doing. I'd recommend one other song from warframe called "This is what you are"

So I don't know if you actually played the Duviri Paradox quest but(Spoilers incomming) 1:11 This part of the song plays when you(The Drifter) beat Dominus Thrax in the story and basically take over for him. The scene that plays while song song is playing shows Thrax being completely humbled and almost devolving into complete madness, it was something I did not expect from the story. Also Dominus is the character's name. The language being used in the song is a fictional language, I forget what it's called but it's fictional though I suppose it's meant to sound like Latin

[@luketfer]

I think it's either Orokin or Tenno that is being used, I suspect that due to story reasons it's probably Orokin.

[@Ashurman666]

@@luketfer Someone here in the comment section mentioned the name of the language but I can't find that comment anymore. But it would make no sense for it to be Orokin as the Orokin would already be in the middle of war against the Sentients or even already gone by the time Duviri came to be. And that's even assuming Duviri is set in the same dimension as the rest of the game is.

@@Ashurman666 Duviri is a void-warped version of a fake country in an old Orokin storybook that was on the Zariman, created by the dreams of the Drifter. I think.

fantastic callout on the sadness in the strings, our opera singer in this story arc in warframe goes by the name and title of luscinia the sorrowful soprano, and is literally sorrow personified

Already a reaction from Marco coming from the undercroft.

I knew you'd be reactin to this soon as I heard it yesterday when the update came out, didn't expect it so quickly though. Warframe music never fails to deliver On that note, I dunno if you've heard about Tennocon; which is Warframe's yearly gathering and teaser show for "what's next" that is also streamed on Twitch, but in the lead up to the main show they normally do a panel about sound design and music, so if you can catch it, or even just watch it afterward, I think you'd really enjoy it.

[@DragonxFlutter]

Whenever I watch a professional musician react to songs from games I love, especially when they don’t have exact context, they always find a meaning in the song very close to that missing context. It’s a true testament to how far video game composers have come, and how just because it’s “a silly video game” doesn’t mean that there can’t be true artistry put into it.

[@lukewilliams1323]

I love how you picked up on all of the 5 emotions as that was what they were going for as it is the duviris theme

[@hallelion]

The first think I thought of when the Music Video dropped was "Excited for Marco's coverage of this one" :D

[@renfygg]

Ha! I was eager to see your reacts to this!

[@dcaz683]

Warframe is an absolute treat when it comes to sound and music design, as it’s always so extremely fitting to your surrounding, enemies sound like they look and feel, guns sound like they shoot and feel. Of all of the criticism I’ve seen of this game, I’ve never seen anyone criticize the sounds. We have the best sound Tenno!

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

I'd honestly fly all the way over to Toronto if they actually arranged a live theatre performance for the musical score of the recent update.

[@BaronVonToasst]

I was wondering if someone was going to look at this, thank you for letting me appreciate it even more.

[@MarcoMeatball]

My pleasure Ethan!
