[@pikapool4571]

A few things I've learned from analysing some of Naktigonis' compositions: - The "To Sleep, Dreaming" motif is pure genius due to the fact that it can be played to serve many different functions by reharmonisation; the original Contours were completely designed around this concept as the harmony changes to serve a different function with all except Contour 4. - The two most commonly used motifs in the whole OST so far are the "To Sleep, Dreaming" motif and the "Oscillation" motif, and they're both used to serve different functions within the songs they're placed. "To Sleep, Dreaming" is mainly associated with things that happen on the surface (it's present in almost all songs that take place above the water) whereas Oscillation is associated with the Depths. - Naktigonis, in Whisperwind, and "The Storm that Speaks", modifies the "Oscillation" melody to descend with portamento after it finishes, which sets up an unresolved tension in the harmony, which is what immediately clues in the player that they descended deeper into the Depths - the music falls down yet further than Oscillation. - The majority of the songs that are played in the Depths have the Oscillation motif, except Ascension (Interlude). As it is linked with the overworld, Ascension has the "To Sleep, Dreaming" motif as its melody, however the genius aspect is that the timbre is changed fundamentally from a percussive/string instrument (what it is normally) to a voice, several voices, singing in unison. Not only that, but the functional harmony of "To Sleep, Dreaming" is once again shown as it resolves to a triumphant chord at the end. - "To Sleep, Dreaming", is also heard in "The End.", except slowed down and not quite in time, representing the last fragments of self attempting to make sense of themselves. - "To Sleep, Dreaming" also appears in "Lacrimosa Dies Illa", one of the only songs from the Depths to use it (as far as I can tell with my small brain), representing how the player needs to survive to get back up to the surface. - Lastly, Kyrie is a masterpiece. Latin lyrics for the theme of the game (around the mixture of ancient religion, medieval legend and modern elements too), and NOT TO MENTION WHAT THEY TRANSLATE TO. In New Kyrsa, the lore says that the inhabitants are stuck in a time loop. I personally think Ethiron has something to do with that, and so do the citizens. The line translates to "Lord, have Mercy." This is not only a Roman catholic chant often sung in masses, but the way that it's used here is so clever - the Latin reinforcing the religious inspiration PLUS being a cry for help from the inhabitants. Literally screaming out "Have mercy on us!". The music picking up over time to morph into an absolute cacophony of hopelessness. I'll add more later, but this level of composition and ingenuity is outright criminal. I wish Deepwoken wasn't a Roblox game so it would be socially acceptable for more older adults to play this, because the fact that something which parallels if not exceeds most games with 'good' soundtracks is so relatively unknown is a crime. I think all aspiring music producers who've heard you want to be like you, Naktigonis. And I doubt that any of them will ever reach your sublime highs. I just hope you know how much of a genius you are. EDIT: Okay, so something I've noticed as well is that Nakti uses triplets to make grooves pop more. Lacrimosa Dies Illa, there's a triplet pattern in the percussion, which complements the vocal melody by landing on off-beats and standard beats alike. Furthermore, the To Sleep Dreaming motif in that is played straightly, so you get this groove that pops amazingly. Then of course, the lytics taken from Dies Irae, continuing the link between Deepwoken's world and inspirations from 15th century liturgical beliefs and how they could be twisted. Also the chant is used in funerals, which is why it's played when you get into combat in the Depths - it'll be your funeral. Similarly, in Pyres Of Glass, there's a triplet percussion thing in the back too. They're everywhere and they add so much.

Truthfully the music of this game is even better recognized than the game itself, and as much as i love deepwoken, I must say its well deserved.

Coming back to this two weeks after premiere and...Damn. This whole song is another example of conveying an audionarrative storytelling conveying the story and vibe of an area masterfully. "Kyrie Eleison", from my limited knowledge, means "Lord, Have Mercy". With the lore of the kyrsgarde in mind, the implications of the chant throughout become far more grim and tragic (Especially with the sense of desperation as the chant comes to a close). Second thing I enjoy is that, upon listening more carefully, you can hear the remnants of familiar leitmotifs that only barely reach Kyrsa (Oscillation and the Eternal Gale motifs especially). Overall, the song is beautiful and conveys so much, effervescent work from my favourite Musical Man, and i'm excited for the eventual release of Hammer's Call so I can go on a tangent about that too

Feels ghostly, like something beautiful is rotting apart which I guess is fitting

[@naroIo]

You're really going all out with the OST, man. Keep it up. Deepwoken would never be the same without the soundtrack.

[@Saam_ii]

i actually shed a tear when i really listened to this for the first time, it's baffling how well you can compose music for a ROBLOX game out of anything

[@jaydenfrancis6478]

BEST NAKTIGONIS SONG SO FAR

[@wtfnickhax]

Beautiful track. Really makes you feel the weight of humanities despair within the depths.

[@maybeitskimine9575]

When you listen to this song on constant loop, you end up forgetting it's there in a KZbin video, but it just keeps rolling like it has become an actual part of your environment. Just like them, they will forget they are stuck in a loop but still suffering from it because it's the only thing they keep doing eternally. It's like joining their suffering. And I love that.

[@Steampunksped]

This is my favorite Deepwoken track good job Naktigonis

[@caplet6396]

i liked how you chose that infinite shape to go in the background. fits the time loop and all

[@whitespace6383]

god damnit naktigonis why are you so good at this?? the vocals are insane! it really expresses almost perfectly how all of the ethiron worshippers are in harmony, trapped in a timeless, void-like city. you're a blessing to us man, and now you make me fear layer 3 like never before. new favourite ambience. that one guy that said i keep saying this; you cannot say it this time!! this is impossibly good!!!!

[@mateigabrielzaharia4842]

I must say that these are some marvellous tunes to listen to while doing homework. Peak music indeed, brother.

[@All-Father8549]

It sounds like something that would play while you're being guided to Valhalla by a Valkyrie; looking back at all your life was, understanding what makes this world special and reminiscing. Feeling a sense of comfort that all your troubles and traumas of the world are over, as if it were the warm embrace of a mother telling you it's alright. You may now ascend and live in peace, embracing the light of the lords; you earned it after all.

[@orion_traveler]

BROOOOooo, ain't no way this got inspired by Sunless Skies, that game is like, my top 5. Naktigonis, you are a person of culture.

[@Max-nm9sw]

This is amazing keep up the good work, reminds me of made in abyss when they are in the 5th layer

[@redtemplar1028]

Very nicely made, honestly! Aside from how it sounds (it brought chills upon me the first time I listened to it), the meaning behind it is also nice - I can imagine the Kyrsgarde chanting - "Kyrie Eleison!" - trying to keep their wicked god fast asleep, as for when he comes, not even Krulians have a chance to survive.

[@Xonology]

Your music is similar to what another channel I really love does. They use music to tell stories, and your music is an amazing example, even without vocals.

[@MarisoStyle]

the light hook breaks. the realization that you are well and truly abandoned sets in

[@somerandomperson4586]

“This place used to be flourishing, blooming with knowledge and new ideas. People collaborating and constantly making new inventions… All of that is gone.”

[@Kirbling0]

This is by far my favourite ost of the soundtrack, the slow and sombre buildup of the song (especially when the flute starts playing) is SO well made i genuinley had chills when i first heard it, and was my first interaction with deepwoken 😭 (i bought the game and safe to say im enjoying it a lot)

[@lacrapule277]

I have rarely felt something like that while listenning to a video game theme and never to that extent, thank you for creating such a masterpiece ! 2:08

[@gui.84]

Nakti ur the definition of that meme video of the pianist playing the piano on fire im flabbergasted this OST is too damn good

[@sachizumii]

Starts at 12 midnight 💀 can't wait to lose sleep over this banger

[@sachizumii]

MAN SOMEHOW IMPROVES WHEN WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS PEAK NAKTIGONIS HOLY SHIT

[@ChristopherChalice]

As you step into new kyrsa, you know there is no going back. It is there where our character will fall to never be seen again, it is there where we will perish... But there's still hope! The hope to make it through, to endure it, to persist it, the hope to survive... The soothing melancholy of this song makes me feel that, that last nearly unbelievable bit of hope as our evident end approaches. Good job Naktigonis, I really hope being able to listen to your next songs.

[@rorandooo]

Hearing Naktigonis before was a blessing and who could’ve guessed it only gets better

[@Slintyy]

the vocals at near end gives me goosebumps. also i'd like to think Kryie as just a mixed word of krysan and eerie

[@rkon7629]

kyrie eleison means “god have mercy” in greek i think

[@Slintyy]

@@rkon7629 damn, thats cool

[@rkon7629]

@@Slintyy ye also it’s latin not greek mb

[@Drxgosz]

You cooked on this ost alot. even though the depths are like hell in the deepwoken verse, there is just an beautiful ancient city lying there with a scion capable of destroying the world (or something) i like how this ost is diffrrent from the rest of the layer 2 osts.

[@DS-pq9cg]

This gives Oscillation vibes too. a feeling of sinking and dreaming

[@starlightsilverwing]

Thank you for psyopsing more people to play sunless seas and skies, safe voyages on the zee. Been playing this while I set zail again to sell of my sunlight

[@kuro458]

can’t wait for this absolute GAS soundtrack to drop 🙏🙏🙏

[@cocoaducky]

I absolutely love the change in theme that sometimes happens, the way it uses different instruments and can turn from like Archaic to Retro in a way.

[@swooshyssh]

finally, the new kyrsa theme OR the ethiron theme. both are amazing

[@whitespace6383]

new kyrsa yes

[@jabi555]

Naktigonis u really be making this game twice as good with these songs. Love you bro keep up the good work 👍

[@thenoblepotato7062]

The oscillation lietmotifs from 0:50 to 1:11 are sneaky, Yet they add so much. I'm surprised by how he manages to use a lietmotif in every theme.

[@Nozaki.]

God this is beautiful. My favorite piece from Deepwoken's OST.

[@artvor0]

God damn when arch said he wanna make layers like made in abyss I didnt knew music will be as amazing as in this anime

[@BigeyBig]

Oh my beloved Naktigonis. Are you ever gonna make a bad song? Or will you continue to put out these life-changing bangers. Oh my Naktigonis.
