its so cool to heard the nuke reference of kursgesagt at the start of this song (a veeeeery heavy bell ring)

[@euflamingofans1200]

Yay

[@lazarusboi6289]

These small references to the Nuke A City soundtrack make it just even better

[@TimeAndSpuds]

Yeah! I always love about these soundtracks that they have little leitmotifs in them when the videos are about something similar as another video :)

[@WwZa7]

I wanted to comment on that. I watched a video, and when they drew comparisons to explosion on earth, I noticed that tune shifted to "nuke a city"

[@benjamin3485]

Could you point me where in the video it happens?

[@lazarusboi6289]

@@benjamin3485 For example the 'gong' sounds at around 2:07, or these warp sounds beginning at 2:34. Also just noticed the bell at the very beginning was also used in the All The Bombs soundtrack when the nukes detonated as well

Something makes me happy about actual education being praised similarly to big movies and video games. You'd never think of listening to an OST for a documentary or even putting music to something like a lecture. Here, however, we have not only phenomenal educational value, but an ethereal soundtrack. Absolutely brilliant work.

[@kingjules8744]

Music acts as a beautiful connector if the context to what it is applied for already works well. And if it's synchronized with some good tunes, it makes it stand out to us.

[@2k7u]

Although some instruments do remember interstellar, the rythm and melody are completely different from most interstellar musics Good to remember that on most of the interstellar soundtrack, the musics have a metronome clicking in the background, also there seemingly aren't many digital instruments, its mostly pipe organ and piano.

[@factoremdimensionem5421]

Your songs go into my playlists the moment I see that they exist, before I even listen to them...which is saying a lot. I don't just throw random songs into them. Your music complements and enhances every single Kurzgesagt video, and it's amazing how high-quality your work is. That organ is just perfect, and I like the sort of..."gritty" is the only way I can describe this tone. It feels like something terrible is going to happen and something terrible must be done to stop it, or like Humanity has made their last mistake. Whenever you guys upload, it's always a delight to me and a splash of fuel for my creativity. Keep on doing great things, guys, and remember that it's okay to rest if you need to!

There's just something about the organ that adds such wonderful depth to any song.

[@ongelvin]

It's the sense of spirituality that it imparts. That's why you find them in a lot of ye olde churches. Hans Zimmerman also pointed out this quality of the organ when he was writing the Interstellar soundtrack.

absolute banger of a soundtrack

[@He_Abner]

É deprimente pensar que de todas as milhões de visualizações do Kurzgesagt, apenas uma pequena porção delas tem contato com a trilha sonora (que em minha opinião é um elemento fundamental responsável pela essência do vídeo). Ao menos espero que aqueles que chegaram a entrar em contato com essa maravilha, façam dela uma peça importante da sua lista de músicas. Um grande abraço vindo do Brasil S2 // I find it depressing to think that of all the millions of Kurzgesagt views, only a small portion of them have contact with the soundtrack (which in my opinion is a fundamental element responsible for the essence of the video).

I will always be obsessed with the leitmotifs of these scores. The Moon has its own theme that plays throughout that you can also hear in other videos, and nuclear weapons have their own that you can hear when they talk about nuking the moon, also heard in other videos about nuclear bombs.
