Blue Sky Original Soundtrack

A fanblog dedicated to making an original soundtrack for the Portal Fanfiction Blue Sky by waffleguppies. This will feature mostly instrumental music, but suggestions for songs with lyrics are also appreciated! Send me suggestions for what styles I should do for different parts of the story or send me samples of your own work! Headed by demonalexiel Portal 2 and its characters belong to Valve, I'm just a huge fan.

Finally, after over nine months I finally finished Chapter 3. Don’t listen to fanfic.net, it’s Chapter 3, not chapter 4. I’m sorry it took me this long to finish, but college came first and I just haven’t had the motivation. But it’s here it’s done, and I think you’ll like it. Enjoy.

Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while! Last weeks of college before I graduate are a nightmare. In the mean time, here is Shameless Self Promotion! I'm writing an unofficial POV piece/sequel to Blue Sky with Garret Rickey as the main character. If you're interested, check it out.

YESSS I figured out was missing.

Found a new soundfont that sounds wayyy better than the first one I had.

It made this song sound even sadder than it was the first time. ;-;

I will also be reuploading the final versions of The Terrible Idea today and the reivsed version of Wheatley’s Theme soon.

Enjoy! :D

Wow, it’s been a long while, but I got a new software and I think it finally has that Portal sound I was looking for.

I guess this is the official end of my hiatus. Here’s what I’ve been working on in the mean time. This track is meant to play when Wheatley steps out into the sun for the first time. It’s not finished, but I wanted to go for more of an ambient sound for this one.

Thank you for being so patient with me and enjoy the preview!

Hey everyone! I am currently preparing to finish saving up for a new computer because mine is a dinosaur. I'm also preparing to come off hiatus, I don't know when, but soon. Thank you for being so patient with me!

The Real Reason For Hiatus

Hello.

As you can tell in the title, I'm going to be honest here. The music does not sound right to me. It doesn't sound "Portal" enough, and don't know why. I need to find a music software that sounds much better than MuseScore. I also just feel that what I write isn't good enough. I need help.

Thanks for listening.

Hiatus Announcement

Hello, everyone! I just want to announce that I am going on indefinite hiatus on the soundtrack. The reason behind this is because I want to focus on my writing my Garret Rickey POV fanfic and I wish to get a better microphone for recording the vocal songs.

Thank you for understanding. For those interested, the fanfic I am writing is a Garret-centric POV/my version of a sequel called Steel Moonlight. It isn't music but it is still Blue Sky related! Have an awesome day!

AKA Pain in the Neck to Write

Man, this song has given me a head ache for three months now, but it is DONE SON. It was really fun to write this though, I hope you enjoy.

I aspired to write the musical equivalent of this quote from Chapter 5:

“Wheatley was not exactly slow. His thoughts actually moved fairly quickly. It was just that they moved in all the wrong directions, and at the wrong times, and got distracted, and got waylaid, and met each other coming back, and went for little walks to take in the scenery,  and bumped into each other, and basically did everything except what Chell’s thoughts did...”

Update

Hi guys! Newsflash, I've had a rare boost in creativity this week, so I'm going to lay out my plans.

The two songs I am going to be working on are Wheatley's Theme and Stargazing. These two have rough drafts already. However, I also am going to try to work on Garret's Theme as well. This will also have a Concept Post for it. Then, I will release all three at once with YouTube videos and links.

I hope to finish the two songs this weekend with Garret's Theme done next week.

I know this is pretty ambitious, especially for lazy old me, but I want this done so I can move on to other pieces. All songs will get an individual post once I finish them.

Have a brazilliant weekend and wish me luck!

YouTube Playlist

Hi, guys! I decided to post the completed songs on my personal YouTube page in order to provide ease of access to listen to whenever you please!

It’s also in a special playlist. I don’t use my YouTube page for much, so I felt this way it would at least be used in a practical way. It only has two songs on there so far, since they are the only two that are fully complete, but I will update them as I go along. From now on, all future song posts will carry a link to the YouTube page for that song. I hope this makes it easier on everyone. Enjoy!

Concept- Wayward Fool and Wayward Fool, Wayward Son

WARNING AHEAD BE SPOILERS

Woohoo, I just love it when I wake up and get new ideas. I’ve been feeling kind of down lately, and have been finding solace in some songs about heart-wrenching moments. Well, you can’t get more heartwrenching when your main character is about to die. Yeah… These two songs are actually two versions of the same song, played two different ways. The first is much more abrupt and somber as it is the “death” of Core!Wheatley in Chapter 2. Everyone pretty much knows he’s okay who’s read this story, but it’s still sad. The second however, is much more longing and melancholy. I feel it would be played in the background during Wheatley’s conversation with Caroline. It would be much more emotional because this is when he has sacrificed himself to win Chell and Eaden’s freedom and lives. He literally believes he is going to die. And this is the part where readers also think he is going to die. This is why Wayward Fool, Wayward Son will be different in that it will be sung.

With lyrics….

By me.

Yep. Me. Yeah…

That’s going to be fun… Unlike Only Human, who is specifically Glados, I just pictured it sung by a woman. It’s not Cara Mia material mind you, no Italian, the lyrics are in English, but I wanted to add something a little more personal. Yeah…

Well, now that I’ve started, I can’t stop, so I’m just going to wing it. Hopefully I won’t be too bad…. Hooray for singing!

[blueskyost]

It’s done.

This is the most epic piece I have ever written. I hope it does my favorite scene justice.For the fans, for this awesome story. I present The Terrible Idea.I hope you enjoy.
