Thats the difference between Michaelangelos David and pollocks shit painting - where Michaelangelo became famous because of his masterpiece, whilst pollocks shit drawing became famous simply because of pollocks fame.

This one might be my favorite on the OST. I've always loved it! Its different and beautiful. Its mysterious and haunting, but also calm and relaxed. It definitely has a feel to it like floating around or flying. Its other worldly and also a chill Jazz. It's also very creative using slick drums and other rarer instruments. Like the sounds made are so alien, there's a violin or the wail sound I believe, maybe a steel guitar, and I believe even bag pipes!? Such a cool song amongst a fantastic OST! Absolutely GLORIOUS!

ReggarEli Yeah, the important part is that the entire game's soundtrack is led by Jerry Martin, even though multiple tracks were created by others. Martin himself made several tracks as well. I would love for Jerry Martin and his crew of people he got to compose with him to make music for Cities: Skylines or at least a game of some sort. He hasn't been able to do much lately, as far as I know.
@GrijzePilion7 жыл бұрын

@NickChase4 жыл бұрын
@@isaiahdaniels5643 Well ok let me explain. If you city is collapsing you will hear sad music, in most cases written in minor chord, a 7th or sis chord. Basically sad mood is created by dissonance and this is the reason why it sound sad. Dissonance comes from minor 5th and minor 3rd note. And you will notice that music will slow down in BPM. As your city progress you will notice that music will be much faster in BPM, drums will have crazy rythms etc. Usually happy or bright songs will be written in major scale. If you listen the Simpsons theme song, you will notice similarities with sims/SimCity soundtrack. This is because it uses the whole tone scale. Many movies and jazz songs use this scale. So basically lydian augmented scale sounds positive, magical, mysterious, jazzy... Ofc the most important part is what kind of instruments you use and so on. This is just scratching the surface and giving you something to investigate if you are interested in that kind of stuff. Google Scales and emotions and you should find interesting stuff.
