The Shimmering Voyage Vol. 4 - Disc 1: Summertime Excursion｜Genshin Impact

[@aleistere]

Whoever said that Genshin's music dropped in quality when Yu-peng Chen left are delusional. He is a great composer no one is denying that but so are the rest of the members of the Hoyo Mix team.

[@GoldenRuben1]

True that

They are just being reactional. They were complaining nothing but when they noticed that he's gone, suddenly they acted like some music experts lol

[@alreiii]

Yep

[@stevennlinn]

This.

[@nakayamasimp]

Some people says that they didn't like this year's summer event, but for me, since 1.6 version every event feels kinda special in their own way. I liked the fairy tale tematic, the soundtrack and the details like the room with objects from previous summer events, it's a nice detail for the ones that played genshin from the begining

[@nologi.c]

So do I! Finished exploring already 😂

[@chirpchirpy123]

I love the boatload of memes in this event

[@ShiningLight]

This was my favorite one

[@cdyn5480]

Yep. Every Genshin summer event is memorable for me. Especially their music

[@hiddendrifts]

tbh the only disappointment to me was the lack of big natlan teasers. like no boss fights, no archon cameo, no natlan music or anything like that

[@Ayudiah.Lumine]

43:03 Caribert, Lumine and Aether 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕 And the title song says meeting and passing 🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@VyKeR08]

listening to this always on my college exam.

[@MurderofBirdsImpact]

Thank you so much for posting the Simulanka OSTs! The entire summer event is a massive step up in lore, atmosphere, attention to detail, and overall bliss before Natlan's release! 29:01 and 32:13 will never cease to make me tear up! I love this game so much. Thank you for all the effort and talent!

[@ashenzenden]

I genuinely cried for 20 mins straight when in the broken sea it took me down to the room with the memorabilia and the music started playing right before I entered it as well

[@chirpchirpy123]

It's Ask Me for directions Arnold! He makes a comeback!

[@7872921]

hey the giga chad "ask me for direction" arnold here , all summer event is *cheffkiss

[@JohnCivor]

Ayo... Yeah I'm glad they dropped the summer event ost so early.. ❤❤❤

[@mjnon2008]

tbh it's a crime those summer events ost we only hear it one time a year and they are always good like bottle land and golden apple and fischl battle ost from 2.8 still my favorite battle theme also its still stupid thoes events lore only accessible for a limited time .simulanka is really good this year and easy to explore and finish it

[@EngelAguilar]

39:19 Hexenzirkel themes are so unique, it's like you immediately recognize something is related to them if the music sounds like that

[@qwenu]

how did you managed to get 39 minutes in within 6 minutes lol

[@EngelAguilar]

@@qwenu haha no I just used the timestamps to find it faster xD a bit of cheating ehe

[@mikumaiku]

Right!!? They're so unique, the soundtracks for the Hexenzirkle.

[@ASKafleany]

Because it has some hogwarts / harry potter quality to it, place for the witches and wizards.

[@OmegaForte]

You're a wizard Aether/Lumine.

[@ruaaazumi5166]

32:12 The amount of nostalgia u get from the secret room in broken sea with this track is insane. Im grateful to the devs who designed this place.

[@Letty-hs4in]

so serene, a reminder of the past adventures makes you tear up a bit

[@boomguitarjared]

I remember having a similar feeling l:,) when I popped in there, seeing the bits of the last summer events, and then reading the notes for the unfinished story for what I'm assuming will be next summer.

[@devliemXfrontmondl]

25:16 “want a woodstick?” “My momma always said, life is like a box of woodchips. You never know what you’re gonna get.” Perfection

[@gyuni346]

Forrest Gump reference

[@sunglassfrog89]

To me 4.8 summer event is the best looking area this reminds me that the devs going all out on designing the simulanka area knowing its only exist for 1 month and the unique puzzle little easter eggs are the best part too

[@HuTao_Sparkle]

32:12 and 34:05 is the best soundtrack for me, those 3 goddesses, and under the middle of goddess is the hidden about from the previous summer event display from GAA until bottle land museum 🥹

[@webset53]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@PluppyYT]

25:16 is so calming I love idling in the broken sea and listening to this

[@harriswull]

yess!!

[@hjonkhh]

It gives me bee and puppycat vibes lol

[@chinhhaminh6134]

I absolutely love Simulanka's music, It's like I've gone back to my childhood, listening to folklores and gradually fall asleep.

[@MiakiSanAgain]

32:12 Benediction of Dreams legit made me sob cause, I was following the stars around the statue, then it said to jump and just as I did with my first main since 1.1, this began playing and when it got to the choir part, I was standing around the memorabilia from all the past summer events. Nothing hit as hard as that moment it did man ;w; EDIT: changed the name, thanks!

[@gar4313]

32:12 is "Benediction of Dreams" Hoyo made a mistake on the timestamp 30:29 is the "Pathfinder of Darkness"

[@Serfo_]

15:30 Leisure in Painting is so beautiful, probably one of the best of the post Yu-peng Chen era.

[@aozorashi]

The first 4 notes remind me of Rustboro City in Pokemon RSE.

[@TheNameless-]

32:12- that theme is beautifully done

[@OnlyHimeno]

Every Genshin summer patches just hits me straight to the feels man. It has this nostalgic bit into it that you cannot describe why but it makes you tear up at some point.

[@Daraxyn]

Glorious Metropole and The Parade of Flying Squirrels will probably be the most memorable to me, they’re the first theme I think of when I think of Constellation Metropole and the Forest of Blessings respectively.

[@pinospin9588]

for me it's the songs of the wrens

[@Daraxyn]

@@pinospin9588 that’s a great contender too, the motif potential from these osts are strong.

[@TankNinjaMage]

Genshin only grows to be the best Original Soundtrack in all of gaming history.

[@franckvazquez935]

Totally agree

[@lolsoftbssq]

No words, but it’s facts, this year genshin works better

[@JohnCivor]

I really love 32:13.. it feels so holy listing to it. 40:52 - 43:04 im gonna cry again😢😢😢

[@shkringalodingo]

my favourite event ost

[@vikk2524]

I have a spotify playlist for genshin ost focused on melodic and chilled vibes (so no boss fight tracks). On average, I take around 5 tracks from each disc. but this entire disc has been added. we are still peaking

[@gerry4495]

32:12 the best soundtrack of 4.8. Nostalgia hit hard when we entered the secret room with all the mementos from the previous summer events and this track started playing.

[@pavlevila9845]

the fact that they made all of does soundtrackes for a 30 days limited map is just crazy to me

[@CelestialSpace.]

Simulanka is the BEST summer event ever

[@motemo8413]

i agree, best story, music and place(visually)

[@yce_jo]

Yaay! i love the tracks of every summer event. They just sound refreshing and somehow childlike. and the fact that they only exist for a short time makes them so nostalgic every time I listen to every shimmering voyage albums. they make each summer event very memorable. i hope they add these tracks in the teapot too.

[@janmichael24]

32:12 I LOVE THIS SOO MUCH THIS IS MY FAVORITE HOYO MUSIC SO FAR I FEEL A LOT OF EMOTIONS WHEN LISTENING TO THIS

[@cat6th363]

When listening to these last events, the music feels like we were going through a day. We started at the early morning on Mond, but now we find ourselves reaching late afternoon almost sunset. One year later well be all the end of our journey. I hope everyone is enjoying our little time on Teyvat

[@lemontea.6212]

21:55 actually gives me omori dreamscape vibe lollll i was like "am i in the wrong game" Some people dislike this year's summer event, but for me, quests lore music and scenery are all top tier. I really reallyyyyy love the fairy tale theme.

[@chabella1112]

"Gentle Breeze Through the Pines" is my favorite. I feel a kind of calm and peace when I listen to it, and it sounds like a lullaby too. I really love it 🥺💖

[@kevinirmiter3669]

32:12 Pathfinder of Darkness (I mean, Benediction of Dreams) is so wistful and nostalgic... Even the first time you hear it.

04:11 this song makes me feel happy somehow, it's so sweet, I'll miss that little toys that almost always were in danger

[@Loresonjourner]

I have not been in this community for a long time, and I want to say that I am very glad that I have the opportunity to live the story of Simulanka and meet many different characters. I think it is very ingenious that characters from different regions also met and interacted with each other, and at the same time found topics for conversation🌌 what's more, very funny, the main character was able to literally hang the missing stars in the sky! the capital of the constellation is very reminiscent of Disney. There are actually a lot of references to different memes and I didn't even notice it right away. Therefore, I am very grateful for such an experience❤️‍

[@mimasu9757]

Beautiful soundracks! The "Snuggy Breeze" gives me a sort of Spirited away vibes.

[@SaltWindLee]

17:19 Morning Song in the forest This song is really heartwarming, listening to it feels like warm sunshine, the sound of trees and rivers. It reminds me of picnics in the forest when I was a child, lying on the grass and sunbathing, jumping into the river and grabbing tree branches, enjoying the feeling of being washed by the water. Childhood was really happy.😿

[@user-dd7kl5cw1p]

Track number 8-10 is my favourite, they are just so damn calming to me, whenever I hear it I cant help it but afk for a while and just indulge in the emotions, it feels like im flying on top of fluffy pink clouds while gazing into the sun setting in the horizon, no one else around me, just me and my pair of wings, especially track 10

[@stefanoandrianopoulos9071]

As a musician myself, I have to say since Yu Peng Chens leave, the music dropped in quality dramatically for me... That being said, everyone has a different taste in music. I, for one, found that his his music absolutely tore at your heartstrings and really told the story of the world more than the dialogue itself. Every piece was a masterpiece. Nowadays, Genshin's music sounds more akin to that of any generic anime... Aside from the patch with Chenyu Vale, that music was gorgeous, But I very much miss Yu.
