Featherfall // Minecraft

[acrylicscore]

So like, new Minecraft soundtrack for the Tricky Trials and uh-

Hermitcraft community, I love you, but HOW has no one jumped on the fact that the second track of the next music is called “Watcher” ????

I may know nothing on Hermitcraft and Life Series lore- but HUH????

There’s something to be had about the feathery and eyey cosmic beings being connected with trials, surely????

To everyone who only knows Aaron Cherof from his work on the Minecraft OST, PLEASE go check out his other work. If you didn't like the new MC ost for how well it fit with the game, his other work doesn't even BEGIN to have that problem.

we love the cobalt core ost

its a shame everything past Void (track 23) is content spoilers because those are some of the best tracks we've heard ever and we do not say that lightly.

...but for non-spoiler stuff, Self-Defense damn near peak OST. It needs to be longer, but the fight doesn't last more than 1 loop (pun intended) for us.

MAJOR finale spoilers below the cut, stop reading if you have not hit the big "future memory" button on the memory screen

(for those wondering why we linked bandcamp instead of spotify, that is a rant for another day, but it is available on both for free)

floof above, even THINKING about Timestream's reprise of Self-Defense in major key makes us tear up. Cherof managed to top peak and it couldn't have been in a more impactful song. You can't know what the implications of the reprisal are until you've seen Riggs go back for Riggs..? in the finale.

It seems to be a common experience to occasionally rediscover Minecraft and play it for a while. Usually these Minecraft phases seem to last for a week or two at most. My friend group is currently in one, since we started playing FTB Evolution on Monday.

One evening while I was fully immersed and focusing on the game the music engine started playing a song. The song opened with a piano phrase that reminded me of Minecraft by C418. My first instinct was to think that the track was a song added by one of the many mods and was supposed to be an homage to this iconic piece of the OST of Minecraft. However, instead of just being in the background to accentuate the loneliness of mining, the song managed to completely stop me into just listening.

After the short intro the track took off into a completely different direction from Minecraft, which I thought it was referencing. The melody moved onto a beautifully melancholic waltz played by a solo piano. Eventually the song introduced an accompanying synth, which only managed to awe me even more with the nostalgia it evoked within me.

Turns out that the song was not added by a mod. It is a part of the offical OST called Watcher by Aaron Cherof. I love the old tracks by C418, which have their own style that adds to the surrealness of Minecraft. I also love the new tracks by Lena Raine, which feel more energetic and happy to me.

Watcher is the first track by Aaron Cherof that I have heard. In my opinion this track is a perfect continuation of the work of C418. The intro was familiar enough to grip the nostalgia within me but different enough that it made me listen to it more closely. The song manages to capture the melancholia of the original tracks but it turns down the surrealness, which leaves room for a new feeling.

This new feeling, I think, is longing for the simpler days. For me, the surrealness of Minecraft has diminished. The mysteriousness has been replaced by knowledge and familiarity. The track is more grounded, which fits my current experience. The melancholia in turn makes me want to return to the days when life was simple and familiar but Minecraft was weird and unfamiliar.

It's rare for a song to me goose bumps but whenever one does, it receives a special place in my heart.
