Terraria Infernum Mod Music - "Catastrophic Fabrications" - Theme of The Exo Mechs

[@pinpinneon9353]

I'm sure y'all have many questions regarding this track, and I bet the main one is "Why did you make this? CDMusic (Charlie) is already making the official theme!". For that, allow me to tell you the story behind this track, and why it means so much to me. It all began back in march, on a day where I was feeling particularly motivated. At the time, I was really obsessed with draedon's motif (still am, now, just a bit less), and I really wanted to do something with it. So, after asking the calamity dev team to make sure that it's okay, I began working on my own version of the exo mechs theme, intending for it to be an alternate exo mechs theme in infernum mod (no other calamity bosses will get this treatment, so don't ask). At the time, I decided to keep this project a secret from the infernum team, intending to surprise them by posting the completed work once it's done. Was it silly, and perhaps immature? Yeah, it was. But I just couldn't help myself, ya know? I then poured my heart and soul into it for the next few days, really sure that this one will truly be my magnum opus (best work) of the year. For a while, it was my pride and joy. Unfortunately, after I managed to reach the 2 minutes mark with the track... awful stuff happened. I won't go into details, but basically, my self-confidence took a massive dive. Same with my mental stability, to a lesser extent. It was so bad that I essentially lost all my passion for the track, as my insecurities started to set in. Suddenly, the prospect of people comparing my piece and Charlie's official one, and potentially mocking mine for being "worse" became really dreadful. Paranoid thoughts of people accusing me of trying to "one up Charlie" or "steal his spotlight" didn't help matters. So, with a heavy heart, I abandoned the project and left it to collect dust. The next few miserable months flew by, and I had started to resign myself to the fact that I'll have to move on from it eventually. But a while ago, as I was sifting through at my unfinished projects, I stumbled upon it again. Thinking "why not?", I decided to post the WIP track for the infernum team to check out, not expecting much. To my surprise, they really like it. They then encouraged me to finish it, as they'd love for the track to be officially implemented into infernum mod. So with some hesitation, I decided to give the track a try one last time. It was then that, as I was tweaking a few things about it and listening to it on repeat, I realized that my passion for the track was back and stronger than ever. Suddenly, all those insecurities and fears I had about the track during my rough patch didn't seem so bad anymore. Mind made up, the day after that I was hell bent on completing the track, and went straight to doing so after lunch. I even got a bit emotional at some points, especially as I re-listened to the climax of the track over and over again to make sure that it's as great as I wanted it to be. An over 5 hours marathon of a composing session (with breaks, don't worry!) later, it was ready to go! ... Yes, I know that when the official exo mechs theme comes out, most people will likely flock to that and leave this piece of mine behind. I'd be lying if I said that the thought doesn't make me a bit sad. But that's alright, because when the time comes, I'll learn to accept it eventually. Sides, Charlie deserves all those views for his hardwork! That and... my best friend Dominic, the owner of infernum mod loves the track to bits, and I'm sure there'll be at least be some others who do too. And that was all the encouragement I needed to post this. Treat this track as just something to listen to while waiting for the official theme if you want, heh. There'll be a toggle to swap between the themes once the official theme is out too, so don't cha worry. Anywho, thank you SO much for all the support y'all have been giving me! It means a ton to me

[@feroxino1051]

I for one absolutely love the fact that it recalls the mechs one and ARMSTRONG too. I sincerely wanna say, cuz I'd be lying to you all if I said otherwise, that Yharim's eventual theme follows what this one does, with as you said, It Has To Be This Way. But this matches a lot the chaotic energy the exos exuded when I first saw em. Bravo to you, I'll even use my own Italian and say Bravissimo. I likey how the vid is edited :D

[@MrJFL]

Ever since I heard from nycro that you decided to remix your theme for exos i've been itching to hear it. All I need to say is that this is a banger. Easily outdone yourself with this. Passion and motivation create masterpieces, and having that little help to spark it shows, because god damn it went a long way.

LMFAOOOOOOOO

[@lancezealot]

I love how personalized each mechs’ part sounds. In Thanatos’s segments you can hear synths going up and down like a sine wave, like the movement of a serpent. Then that electric guitar goes off during the Twin segments, which perfectly describes their fight: *hectic, heart pumping, and relentless*. Not only that, it also sounds like there are two synths playing together, working as one analagous to the Twins. And during Ares part a “siren” can be heard. It screams “danger is coming,” especially when Ares and his four exo super weapons give you the death stare.

[@lancezealot]

So it turned it I was right! :0

[@Unused_Account_D3E2F1]

Thanatos's part is definitely my favorite. I wish there was a whole song just like it.

[@shinyhero306]

[@nebulous9280]

Keep in mind that this also kinda mirrors Boss 1 2 and 3 from the OG Terraria OST. Thanatos (Destroyer) with the synths that seem to curve up and down, much like in certain parts of Boss 3, Ares (Prime) with the loud siren that mimics the siren in Boss 1, and Apollo and Artemis (The Twins) with the chaotic and hectic melody of Boss 2. This music is like 3 layers of motifs deep and I'm digging it.

You weren't told to make this song, CDMusic had it covered. And yet, you did, just cause you loved Draedon's leitmotif (and presumably music) so much. It's incredible how Catastrophic Fabrications, a song made for the passion of music, the joy of creation, is the song about Draedon. A being who's only purpose is to create. Who lives to satiate that urge to make. Not to mention, the creation of the Exo-Mechs were (probably?) not ordered by Yharim, they were only made to fulfil Draedon's goal in life. It's beautiful in a way. To me this song is first and foremost about creation. To make something beyond ourselves with the human gift of consciousness. Not only from the song being about Draedon, but also the aforementioned context regarding the song. I've felt this need to create something myself, specifically in music. This song, even if musically somewhat irrelevant, thematically fits that. It brings out that inner artist in me, I guess. ...Excuse my introspection, I must gather my thoughts after listening to this piece for probably the hundredth time.

For being the most amazing composer of the terraria infernum community ever, it was a great rollercoaster when i listen your whole themes for the community. Last year when i discover your video (Catastrophic Fabrication) in my recommendations i was quite interested to listen, then after 4 days im really enjoying this theme, one of my favourite part is the definitely the climax, in my opinion the Exo Mechs like to about unlish their battle cry and there true power and draedon is very intrigue to this player because he notice that he is the only one "subject" can handle the long battle of the Exo Mechs. I notice that fans are making exo mechs fanmade too, and i was quite shock it was awesome to listen and it was inspired by you PinpinNeon, you've done amazing hardwork for everyone that Catastrophic before the Calamity Motif was such a banger that fans gives attention to it. Present later i heard the rumors that your going to leave the community due to the fans being hatred, i feel bad for your concerns and i got flashback from this situation.

This song tells the tale of a struggle that seems hopeless before it picks up. As if weaknesses had finally been spotted. (Mainly thanks to those classic bells) Turning into one final stand against these machines of war, your spirit and strength drained by the losses... Before it is restored as you make progress bit by bit. A struggle that finally turns into something that seems winnable. And with that knowledge, that hope... You emerge victorious as the power of M E T A L is by your side. I love how the end is a somber end, showing that the battle is finally over. You can rest, you've won. The machines have been scrapped by your hand. (Beauty job pin

4:11 Don't think I wouldn't catch this. I know what violence breeds.

This is amazing. The climax where they all join together is like a mechanical war cry. For soulless machines, there’s a lot of soul in this theme.

Beautifully done, just like the precursor. And, is that a tune at 4:10 following along the "Violence breeds violence" line from IHTBTW that my ears are hearing?

Please don’t let your bad patch stop you from making music! This track was epic and earned you a new sub!

[@guncatto2625]

Feels just right. Matches the pure chaos of the exo mechs. Compared to the rest of the post moonlord bosses exo mechs are just pure chaos. This theme encapsulates that perfectly and the further the theme goes the calmer it gets as each mech falls. You did great.

[@thedealmaker6996]

Now that's what i Call an Epic Music, Great Job PinpinNeon, the proximity with Inferior fabrication But the extreme way that you put the song make it clear that the exo mechs are a Much MUCH powerfull version of the original Mechs ,I also love the way that the music switch back and forth between the mechs without cuting, showing us the coordination of these robots and how they're able to work together, truly a masterpiece of art. I also Like the sad motif at 4:17 With draedon included, Showing that Even with all those upgrades from the original failed mechs He still lost, Joining the Other final motif of draedon, Maybe humans are better than machines after all.

[@sirhonk9076]

Ok this incredible. I love the draedon motifs with the intense sounding medley. I honestly can't stop listening to it. I'm so excited to finally be able to have a real theme for the exo mechs! It's honestly so fitting for the intense boss fight. The constant motifs from Dokuro's work make me so happy. Good job on this and keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to what you come up with next!

This is some of the most energetic, amazing music I've heard in a bit! Awesome work! It encapsulates the chaotic, difficult feel of the battle well, and also gives a feeling of finality and panic. It's extremely well made, and ties very well with your previous Inferior Fabrications!

[@baifor7]

not that a comparison is ncessary, but if charlie had suddenly released this i doubt anybody in the community would be disappointed at all. this track is honestly beautiful and you should be proud of this amazing work. this truly feels like the natural evolution of the Draedon motif.

Just out of curiosity, Dr. Bright, are you not allowed to comment on KZbin videos with your Foundation account, or have they simply not added that rule to your "Resume" yet? Either way, I think we'd all collectively appreciate a distinct lack of info-hazards in your posts.

[@ianrager]

@c1nquedea Hey, thanks for @ing me with "🤓," that's one of the greatest badges of honor that I've ever attained in any comment section on the internet. For someone like me, one who possesses the best of three worlds (nerd, geek, and dork), that's a greater badge of honor than "😎," "Based," or even "GigaChad." I dunno why you deleted your reply though, since it was so genuine and endearing to people like me. The notification still came through, so your kindness didn't go unnoticed. Come on, don't be shy, reply with "🤓," it'll be such a kind gesture and compliment. I don't understand how "🤓" could ever be an insult, given the Top Definitions on Urban Dictionary for _nerd,_ _geek,_ and _dork._ Or maybe, perhaps you've lost touch with common sense at some point. Could it be, that you don't realize the gravity, of what nerds have so graciously given to the world, throughout its storied history? Is it true, that you never realized, that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Gabe Newell, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Leonardo Da Vinci, Archimedes, Carl Sagan, Isaac Newton, George Lucas, Dave Filoni, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Kevin Feige, all shared at least one thing in common: *being nerds?* How blasphemous, inconsiderate, uninformed, uneducated, and uncultured of you. You have the nerds, geeks, and dorks, to thank for *everything* that you so claim to enjoy throughout your every day. You should be more thankful for us.

[@ianrager]

@c1nquedea I'm calling 🧢 on this. As of writing this, every reply before this one adds up to three. Thing is, on the "View Replies" button, it says four. I've come to realize that KZbin still counts the replies, even if they've been deleted. KZbin may be often riddled with bugs, but given Google's reputation: a notification, when delivered by the real-deal Google/KZbin, *is always an actual notification.* But after sleeping on this, I finally came to realize "Why do I even care about this?" when I didn't have a good answer, I just decided to stop after this reply. I'm gonna leave this reply chain, mainly because I seriously just don't want this to devolve into two-or-more strangers bickering with each other on the internet. If I wanted that in my life, I'd migrate to Twitter. I might've been too vengeful with my previous comment in all honesty. I'm sorry about that. So please, have a good day, regardless of your "🤓" usage.

[@ianrager]

i was so disappointed when i found out this was a fanmade track and not the official Exo Mech theme, I was looking forward to using a music box on it. This is my favorite calamity mod song, fanmade or not and it totally deserves to be in the game.

[@teiull9388]

fanmade? not really it is official, but not for calamity itself but for a official add on, basically, dominic karma(calamity developer) got permission from fabsol to make a add on to include different boss AI's, aka complete boss redesigns, this add on is called "infernum" and has been getting a lot of work from a lot of talented terraria developers, pinkie being in charge of the music ^^

I'm sure CDMusic's official track will also be stunning, but all of this has me very excited for the eventual release of Yharims bossfight, and whatever magnificent theme we get with that.
