HyperNET MUSIC: "Braid"
HyperNET MUSIC: “Braid”
Compositores: Sieber, Kammen, Fulton y Schatz
Estilo: instrumental atmosférico
Año: 2008
Reconozco que probé “Braid” hace mucho tiempo y no acabó de convencerme la mecánica del juego. A pesar de eso, algunos aspectos de este título indie me llamaron la atención, como puede ser el arte conceptual, o la fabulosa banda sonora. Y de ella hablaremos hoy: del soundtrack de “Braid”, compuesto por Jami…

Still working out the best way to share music with you all. The options are essentially: Youtube, Soundcloud, Spotify. On Youtube and Soundcloud, the music is rarely posted by the creators, so Spotify seems like the most “official” way to go -- but you have to be logged in to Spotify in order to access it. And to be entirely honest, Spotify’s royalty payouts are really questionable. But perhaps we should lean more toward Spotify anyway, because attribution is important!
Would love to hear your feedback on this matter!
Anyway, this is an excerpt from the Braid soundtrack: the title track Maenam by Jami Sieber. Braid is a fascinating little puzzle game with an enigmatic yet thoughtful backstory. Aside from the artwork, it was developed entirely by creator Jonathan Blow, who chose to use licensed music rather than a new score to reduce fees. I am all for new video game scores, but!-- Blow did a fantastic job selecting the musical pieces that lay the framework for the emotional space of the game. He also was careful to choose tracks that could be successfully manipulated in reflection of the time mechanics in the game: reversing, slowing down, speeding up, etc. It’s truly a fascinating example of the union of gameplay and music adaptability, particularly as a means of conveying integral information about the mechanics to the player.
Plus my heart just melts a little at all the gorgeous cello in Maenam.

Sunday Sounds #61: Downstream by Shira Kammen from Braid
The music from Braid is so worthy of attention, I thought I'd already featured it on Sunday Sounds. After some checking, I haven't, so here it is.
Lovely.

This is the track that inspired the doodle.
Do you see the trouble I'm in?
I downloaded the demo for Braid yesterday. First impressions? It has an absolutely beautiful soundtrack. I love it. It's a great game too. It's simple to play (i.e. it doesn't take a genius to figure out the controls), but the game itself is quite challenging. There isn't much to the demo though. Might have to buy the game...
Point is, I absolutely adore the soundtrack.
