Even all these years later, this is THE Critical Role song. To me, not even the original theme captures the feel quite as well.

Nobody has commented on this in a long time. I just wanna say, this song is still incredible 2 years later! It was awesome from the beginning, but now it has the weight of this incredible campaign on its back. From the high seas, to the southern coasts of Wildemount, to the dark plains of Xhorhas, to the diverse cities of the Dwendalian Empire, to the chaotic sub-planes of Halas, and all the way back to the small town of Trostenwalde. The carny whose thread was severed too soon. The dark angel struggling for freedom of will. The naïve little girl who won’t let the world be taken too seriously. The goblin desperate to defy fate and restore the life she once had. The sailor whose desire for validation almost wrought calamity upon Exandria. The sad wizard who wants the break reality. The no-shits-given monk who’s learned to give a shit. The lonely gardener searching for his family and a purpose. This song represents something magical. When an episode, of any tone, ends and this song plays, it holds just the perfect soundscape for this story. When it ends on a particularly heavy or emotional note, this song means the world. It’s been a crazy 2 years. Thank you for your small but very large contribution.

This really is THE Theme for Campaign 2. Its got that grittyness, but also the triumph and challange. It feels slavic with those low strings and Wildmount always felt very Germanic/Slavic/Nordic in vibe. I hope, that if this piece is not the base of the Misadventures of the Mighty Nein show theme its either the end credits theme or the travel theme.

Getting around to answering as many comments and questions as I can, guys! Again thank you all for listening, without trying to sound like a broken record, this is by far one of the most positive and supportive communities for creativity on the internet and I appreciate every single kind word! This is by and large the biggest and most positive response I've had for a single piece to date and I have a flooded inbox of requests to do more tracks to spam the cast with (mainly ambient ones) so DO give me your suggestions on that topic and what you'd like to hear! Just to cover a few bundles of Q's: I'm 24 and have been composing for video games from small apps to indie developed steam games for the last 2 years now. A number of you wanted to know more about my PhD which is in fact also centered around game score. I plan on doing a lot of travelling in the next year to network and connect with larger companies and developers, most importantly GDC 2019 in California. Like VO this type of work can be nerve wracking in between commissions and if this show has provided anything to me, it's the knowledge that anyone with a creative spark is able to go as far as they allow themselves to. If you'd like to use the music for your own campaign the download link is in the description! Much gratitude once again, you kind-hearted, handsome, handsome people! -Colm

I love to see a fellow ‘Colm’ rocking it in the world with our Gaelic heritage, my Celtic brother! Amazing piece, I often use it as a centrepiece in my D&D games that I DM weekly and I always get questions where it’s from. I have never used CR music before so know that I don’t use this track because it’s related to CR, I use it on it’s own merits, and because it’s the equivalent of a hard rock power rock ballad that they would have in Faerun, or Tal’Dorei, Wildemount, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, and all other fantasy settings. Bravo!

Absolutely phenomenal work. As much as I love the visual art during the slideshows, I have to be honest and say that a majority of the reason I watch them instead of fast forward is the music you’ve made. I have a quick question- the little staccato change in tone that seems to ripple back and forth that occurs at 2:45 (I am not musically talented so I can’t even describe it particularly well)- what would you call that technique? It’s so audibly striking.

I prefer this over the “remastered” version. There is a fluid, natural, profound sound to it that I think the remaster lacks. There are additions to the remaster I do enjoy, but it is hard to improve on something that is already perfect.
@Loafusbreadmyre
@Loafusbreadmyre 2 жыл бұрын
Honestly I think the point of changing to the "remaster" was to have a change in music, as they used this as the art montage theme for quite a long time, while still keeping the same theme. Or maybe because it was getting to higher levels, (or "epic" levels,) they wanted to have a soundtrack that fit that feel?

The music that plays during game breaks helps to capture the "heart" of the campaign. "Twin Elms" by Justin Bell is what played for campaign 1, and many of those who were there for C1 go back and listen to wax nostalgic. It hits you in the feels. You remember the good times, the tragedies, the goofy goobing, the losses, and the love of a found family. It's truly fascinating what power music holds. I got into Critical Role right as C1 was ending, so I watched C2 live from start to finish. It was something to look forward to every week for 3 and a half years. The booming onset of "Welcome to Wildemount" hits you like a rush of wind, and it just carries me back instantly to that world and those exciting nights. Laughing at these idiots and their mischief (chaos crew for life). The fear as they faced horrors beyond horrors. When new loves ebbed and flowed. When they overcame their struggles, and when they didn't, and suffered great pain. A story 3 years in the telling. I miss the Nein dearly, but their story continues on.

"Welcome to Wildemount" is the theme song for Critical Role's second Dungeons & Dragons campaign, set in the continent of Wildemount. Composed by Colm R. McGuinness, the song debuted as part of the campaign's animated introduction and quickly became a beloved anthem within the Critical Role community. Its evocative melody and lyrics embody the spirit of Wildemount, a land of vibrant landscapes, political intrigue, and ancient secrets. "Welcome to Wildemount" was later released as the title track for a full soundtrack album inspired by the campaign, further cementing its role as an inseparable piece of Critical Role's world-building. Primary Source Critical Role. "Welcome to Wildemount (Critical Role Soundtrack)." Distrokid, released November 15, 2022.

This piece really is amazing. At first I thought this was a cover of the song from critical role, then realized it's your original. This tune carries a lot of weight with it. It is powerful, yet has beautiful dynamics and chill moments, only to come back up to a heart-pounding energy again. It is inspiring for the future and nostalgic of the past all at once. At certain times, it will have you at the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next, and of others, it feels like it makes you sit back and think, "Man, that was a heck of a day...". I have heard this hundreds of times now and it never gets old. As a fellow musician, I ask you to please keep this up. Do not stop making epic music like this. I would personally love to see you make some longer battle music scores with similar power and a more subtle, soft bit for the quiet, serious, personal or romantic moments.

So I've been watching critical role for years, hearing this song at the beginning of every single episode of campaign two, and I found you in a completely unrelated way a few months ago, but I only learned TODAY that you wrote this song. The world really is smaller than I thought.

I've finally really gotten into Critical Role and totally thought the music in the art section was some track I'd forgotten about from the Witcher 3. Fantastic job on this original piece!

This sounds like something that could have come out of The Witcher. Absolutely incredible. It makes me excited for the fan art breaks.

I'm so glad this popped up in my recommended videos, so I can give you major props and kudos for so perfectly capturing the spirit, not only of the Mighty Nein, but of the world they live in, of the adventures they embark on, and the incredible story they're telling.

I went to the Chicago Live Show back in February. The entrance to the place took forever to let everyone into the theater. We ended up waiting an hour and a half before the show started but during that wait they had the slideshow of fan art playing on repeat. With some music, if you play it to many times, you get bored after a while but not this song. Every time that opening played I would get that tingling in my spine like hearing it for the first time. Every art piece that was showed was that much more with the sound of Wildemount thundering around the theater. Thank you so much for the amazing music and I can not wait for your next piece.

When I first heard this (having never played the Witcher series) I was completely convinced it had to be part of the OST, given how much they’ve incorporated Witcher music into the new campaign. It blew my mind to discover it was a fan piece. Well done!!
