Starfield - A Night with the London Symphony Orchestra

[@gmmgrey1852]

What I love about the Starfield soundtrack is that it's not obvious, but interwoven into the game and every time I get this 'amazement' feeling when you hear it pop up.

[@Verchiel_]

As they say, the best background music is music you don't notice when it's there, but do notice when it's not.

[@gmmgrey1852]

@@Verchiel_ exactly!! Thanks for wording it better than I could 👌🏼

[@abhisheksengupta624]

Anyone who can compose a track like "Nobody's Home" is nothing short of a genius. Encore, Maestro!

[@kamikaze01239]

Oh my god, you just described it perfectly, everytime I touch this game even if it’s just the menu, I get this feeling of amazement and childlike imagination, this is the music that would be in my head if I ever got to explore space.

[@psell8628]

good way to say it

[@LondonSymphonyOrchestra]

Thanks for having us explore this galaxy with you!🌌🚀

[@adamdygnarowicz5127]

All respect to you for putting your time and effort make video game industry better. I can't imagine how MANY times you had to practice playing this music before shooting it for the video.

[@evancobb6829]

@@adamdygnarowicz5127 yes, you can't imagine it, because it was most likely only a couple rehearsals. That's just how the professional orchestra world is. Individual musicians practice lots outside of rehearsal, but whole programs are put together with relatively few rehearsals. Concert cycles are measured in weeks, not months, usually for music more complicated than this. Not saying this music isn't amazing, just a different kind of side project for an orchestra like this.

[@HarunaKaiNi]

i love both of your genshin and starfield performances

[@Neon-Flux]

I loved it thank you so much

[@vinniciusrosa8284]

Very emotional for me cause I play Bethesda Games since 90s

[@TomTom-ym2bh]

Starfield's main theme is one of the best ever.

[@warmasters]

Meh overhyping it

[@LDcorx]

Fix the green screen crash bug please? It's constanlty crashing and now every time I load the game it crashes.

[@moonknight1331]

​@ArnabDas True, it's decent, but nothing in comparison to tracks like "Winds guide you", "Far Horizons" or "Peace of Akatosh"

[@warmasters]

@@GoodOldDays-u9b you can literally hear the fallout in some songs 😭

[@g.j5062]

​@moonknight1331 but starfield isn't either of those games. While they have great soundtracks they can't compare to starfields.

[@raffiefoxmew3691]

This has become a bit of a MS/Xbox staple recently, doing a live orchestra to celebrate a game's launch Love it! Shows their commitment as a publisher to the musical arts.

[@raverdeath100]

tbh, this is the modern orchestra's bread and butter and the LSO is one of the better and more adaptable ones out there.

[@emmw7794]

Bethesda has full Orchestral compositions for all their games. Jeremy Soule is the composer for Elder Scrolls games, going back to Morrowind. Inon Zur is the Fallout composer. Inon Zur also composed for Starfield as well, obviously. I prefer Soule but Zur is good.

[@DavidBordon]

Cannot find others, can you give me pointers? I absolutely adore stuff like this.

[@MichaelM28]

A pity they can't show commitment to releasing quality games 😂😂😂

[@megilacuttyjones735]

Starfield has an amazing soundtrack. An amazing score for an amazing game

[@notedsinner3171]

Yes its amazing ! I havent stopped playing! I love when you get to the Roddunberry system sometimes Startrek music will play !

[@Landscape_]

Inon Zur poured his heart into this soundtrack

[@RedMisfit]

And just seeing how it was constructed right here is fascinating and amazing 😃

[@Wft-bu5zc]

Haven't been this addicted to a game in years. Despite its flaws and rough edges it's SO much fun and there's just a ton of stuff to do.

[@NoNo-ce8xb]

But no sun 🌞 if you use #amd .....

[@Choteron3]

Inon Zur is a genius. The music of Starfield is superb.

[@Dennios]

Nice. The soundtrack is growing on me more and more everyday I play Starfield. I'm sure it will be an all time classic, just like Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim OSTs

[@domino_201]

Jeremy Soule and Inon Zur are a blessing on this world

[@ciyttcix6661]

I love your content by the way

[@rhahnabunaid]

I personally don't think any of these pieces are as memorable and timeless as Jeremy Soule's music was for The Elder Scrolls, but it's enjoyable background music.

[@Wft-bu5zc]

@@rhahnabunaid I didn't think so at first either but there are definitely a few songs in the game that I find myself humming at work. Is it as good as Soule? Probably not but that's a high bar, and it's definitely close.

[@nono-stop-motion6157]

It is honestly the Best game I played so far

[@patricklagace731]

Inon could legit follow John Williams for the next Star Wars movies !

[@thegunner467]

Definitely.

[@gdreyer]

This year I think the "Best Score and Music Award" will be Starfield, amazing composition that tells an epic story. Bravo!

[@barbarosa3d239]

I am not sure... Inon is a great artist but let´s be honest.. most of Starfield music is generic ambient music.. compering to Stellaris I would say it is really like really bad. You can interchange some tracks with Fallout 4 without noticing... Inon´s magnum opus, Dragon Age, will be hardly overcame by this composition.

[@gdreyer]

@@barbarosa3d239 I've hear Baldur's Gate 3 score and maybe I spoke too soon, it is also amazing, I think now there's actually competition. I do, however, disagree that Starfield's theme is "ambiente music" c'mon.

[@barbarosa3d239]

@@gdreyer Yes, Baldurs 3 is wonderful... but I was speaking about whole Starfield composition... the main theme is pretty good. It is not ambient of course.

[@Wft-bu5zc]

@@barbarosa3d239 The Starfield music fits so well when you're in the game, it's crazy. The ambience is perfect. I think an OST should be judged by how well it fits the media, not just by itself.

[@barbarosa3d239]

@@Wft-bu5zcBoth.. it must be judged by its usage and how it works alone... albums of soundtracks are made for fans, many tracks have different epic variations which do not need to be used in the game/movie etc in albums and vice versa. You do not listen to OST just because it fitted in the game and alone it is dull and anticlimactic. It is basic theory behind OST albums :) Album is a different medium. Starfield/Fallout music is fine.. but comparing to Skyrim... its not even comparable :D The best comparison is in my opinion Stellaris... that soundtrack is great and epic in the game and on its own :)

[@TheGhost204]

It’s crazy how the best new classical music from the past few decades has been from video games and movies.

[@chrismichaelis7259]

So true

[@Nocturnes1984]

Cause its all about telling a story. Old or new classical music.

[@XXXHITMANXXX]

Tv series like GoT, the expanse, outlander, man in the high castle and many more. They are a masterclass

[@Kevin_2435]

Although it's a double edged sword for me. The introduction of CD audio destroyed sound cards and general MIDI playback in games over night. This was great because there is no longer a class divide between Sound Blaster/AdLib sound and the vastly superior and more expensive MT32 sound device. Everyone playing games on any device hears the exact same sound as someone else. But there is something magical and charming about some of the MT32 game soundtracks of old. The main theme from The Secret of Monkey Island is forever etched into my memory for example. I also have a different kind of respect for musicians that composed for a chip. Zur can just write what he wants and hire an orchestra to perform it and record it and slap it right into the game. The old school way of doing things was vastly more complex because the limitations of the sound chip or console had to be taken into account as well. You needed a great ear for writing and composing music but you also had to keep your compositions within the constraints of what the chip or console was capable of as well. It also meant that you couldn't just hire George Lucas or Inon Zur to compose your game's music and call it a day. Zur doesn't have the technical expertise to compose for a Sound Blaster or an NES. It was something rare and truly special when the stars aligned and game music was awe inspiring like this. I miss those days. Some of those old video game tunes are legendary not just for how they sound but for the computer wizardry and miracle creation required to make them work.

[@serpentines6356]

Don't play games..Never heard of this...

[@mrmogensen]

Really brings a tear to my eye Thinking about how Jemery Soule will never compose again

[@WhiteWolf496]

Playing the game with a really good pair of headphones and dolby atmos for headphones is incredibly immersive. Some of the best sound design I've ever heard in a game if I'm honest, and an incredible soundtrack to boot.

[@nockstargamesYT]

I agree 100%. I use Dolby atmos as well, it's great.

[@ranatapacha2948]

I play with a sound bar with the volume almost to the top and all the rooms vibrates with the music, it's awesome

[@MeWilgner]

This game is saving my life. I feel hope when a hear this song.

[@Baggssy]

Inon Zur did an incredible job capturing the beauty and unsettling majesty of space. The way he combines serene melodies with discordant swells throughout really conveys the quiet wonder and foreboding infinity of the universe.

Inon Zur really killed it yet again, proving that he's the greatest game composer for me. Starfield's score has propelled to my favourite score in a BGS RPG! Can'r stop loving this mastepiece of a score!

[@MrMcSleeps]

Awesome to see how pumped Inon was getting in that last song, must have felt amazing for him to be conducting the London Symphony Orchestra

[@Finger112]

As a classical musician myself, this is absolutely amazing to see, as close to a "Starfield Symphony" as we'll get!

[@TehPwnographer]

This soundtrack was an absolute masterpiece. Bethesda always delivers the goods with the music in their game, and this one is a slam dunk.

[@kindnuguz]

[@NoradNoxtus]

The way how the melody swells as you "finish" the game and watch that cutscene is just amazing. It just hits you different after hearing the music exist in the background but come to the forefront proudly at the end. Amazing.

[@brainetv.oficial]

Te amo, Bethesda ❤❤❤❤❤

[@joshbarron8961]

I've always liked Zur's work but I was never moved as much as I have been with this soundtrack. I truly believe this is the best work he has ever done and I can definitely hear it in every note. I'm hearing pretty much everything that I have loved about sci-fi music from Star Wars to Star Trek, from Stargate to 2001 A Space Odyssey. All of the work of Horner, Williams, Goldsmith, Arnold, etc. filtered through Inon's style is just a perfect mix.

[@silenthillsteve3437]

Très très bonne bande son ce Starfield un plaisir de voir l'orchestre à l'œuvre. C'est rare à notre époque les bonnes sons que l'on retient dans les films ou les jeux comme c'était plutôt le cas dans les années 80/90

[@ThatTempesTGuy]

I hear 2001, star trek, star wars, dune, and many others.... So good!!!!

[@uzer_zero]

@InonZurOfficial, this entire score is a masterpiece! It's the first game score that gave me the "Awe and Wonder" emotions I felt the first time I listened to Marty O'Donnell's Destiny score. It's the kind of music that when you hear it out of context, you just want to go back and play the game.

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

I'm a big fan of the 2001 Space Odyssey-vibes from this soundtrack. Well done Inon Zur! 👏👏👏

[@polishrocker93]

Eh, this soundtrack is clearly more influenced by Star Trek than 2001. Inon said he was influenced primarily by John Williams, and the composer of Star Trek, Jerry Goldsmith. I love 2001, but that soundtrack is just established classical pieces, with sections of wailing and absolute silence. Star Trek has original music, as does Star Wars, and this soundtrack is more an homage to those OST’s than the semi original soundtrack of 2001. Plus, Bethesda owned the rights to Star Trek, and a few of their developers are huge Trek fans, so Trek seems more likely than 2001. I’m guessing you aren’t that big of a trek fan, which is a shame, because this is game is a love letter to those fans more than anyone else. But don’t feel bad, the more fandoms you become a part of, the better you’ll get at hearing these influences right away.
