@@DarthShadie Hey DarthShadie! No, I used another another free software 🙂 Edit - Message me on twitter then I'll send you to the software & mutual I know who can help with what you're looking to do. (If you want to of course, no pressure/worries if not😅)
@@DarthShadie Thank you! It's actually a recording from the countdown on the gameplay reveal, so it was already quite clear... Edit: Sorry if you just got the same reply multiple times... The internet where I am is interneting... 😅
I hate to disappoint. But I think, that technically, it's hans Zimmer's music team, and one of Zimmer's guys did it. It's still going to be good, written by someone probably trained by Zimmer. But I don't think the big man himself is doing it.
@@Zodiark303 Sorry. But honestly, it's definitely still going to be great. Trained by Hans Zimmer is still more than a lot of other musicians. And who knows, maybe Zimmer still came in and made some suggestions and tweaks. From what I heard here, and in game with varric and solas, I'm very happy with how it all sounds. I can't wait to get my hands on the entire ost.
The fact that story-wise "The Rook" was purposefully injected into stopping Solas as an element he would never be able to predict (per the comics) makes me see that first note change (and the fact the whole song eventually changes to follow!) super interesting! Even more because it then transitions into small origins-reference theme and then becomes more hopeful with the choir coming in. I really want someone with a music background to interpret the full thing 😍
Ominous and dark. Very fitting for the end of the World. But I do miss a more melody centric approach, such as from Origins or Inquisition Main theme. Something we could learn and sing together.
I can see lyrics being added to this melody, maybe we'll need a little pick me up moment like in Inquisition and Harding will start a song to encourage the party
OMG, Hans Zimmer is only my favourite composer of all time, very pleased to see his involvement here. Although not officially confirmed, it is distinctly and undeniably Hans Zimmer.
It's now confirmed Hans Zimmer & Lorne are the composers from the credits of Vows & Vengeance 🙂 This is probably a variation of the main theme (a less epic version/main menu theme) as they keep playing different variations & versions of it in Veilguard stuff (in the gameplay reveal, Vows & Vengeance, etc).
@@ChronicaErys I came here for 1:45 and 3:13 :) Baldurs Gate 3 has great game soundtrack, but compering to this it is no cinematic.. you can use DA:V music in the movie/game at the same time. Pure epicness.
Oh my god the hype is consuming my body. THE FIRST NOTE CHANGE KILLED ME I can't. This melody??? PLEASE let this be a recurring leitmotif in the entire soundtrack please please please Also the way you edited this?? CHILLS AT THE END. You picked the perfect clips to match the theme. Thabk you for posting this Edit: I get so sad seeing comments talking about how there's nothing that stands out here, nothing memorable. I wish I could help you see the music theory being used here, the harmonies that add to each other to create two different stories, the gorgeous melodies. My god it's beautiful
Thank you so much! I *really* appreciate the compliment! I had to rush it out so there's stuff I wish I did differently and 1 minor mistake. But you've made me feel so much better with your feedback!
This is really beautiful and INTRICATE. There is a lot of geniality in the way the harmonies and melodies just go in and out of expectation. But I also feel that both Origins and Inquisition had such catchy and vocal melodies driving their main themes that this now feels like purely a Background music. "Stand back and listen", instead of "come sing together". However, my heart gets sad to imagine this will be the last Dragon Age, just from the music alone hinting toward an apocalyptic ending.
@@GabrielPassarelliG 2:36 I have a feeling these little three notes will carry the soundtrack like the notes from "The Dawn Will Come" in inquisition. They give us that 'desperate effort' moment in the gameplay trailer when Varric is left alone with Solas, and here they sound foreboding and almost like a cautious warning in a tale. I can't wait. The game will be as much of an experience for me as the soundtrack haha
Sounds a bit LotR like. Which isn't a bad thing. But I'm kinda missing the vibes Trevor Morris' music gave me. Solas's theme from Trespasser most of all. It was just so good. Will we hear it again in this game? Somehow I doubt it...
I have to admit, I will miss Trevor Morris as his score for inquisition was incredible! (You know it's good if people that didn't even play Inquisition listen to it, like some people I know)... But this track is a great blend of high/dark fantasy and the foreboding dread(wolf) on the horizon for Thedas.
@@SpectreSaundersPersonally wasn't a big fan of Trevor Morris work for inquisition, felt it was a completely different tone than the previous games. I really liked Trespasser music though. This track for Veilguard however really feels like high/dark fantasy like you describe, that's why I absolutely like it and think it really fits Dragon Age.
The music in DA:I was soooo good! The soundtrack was great and I still listen to the songs from the tavern on Spotify. Both in German and English. I hope that the music in the new part is at least as good.
Zimmer feels very generic and standard compared to Trevor Morris. Can't believe they took in a huge Hollywood composer, it seems budget wasn't an issue after all.
Lots of clashing notes coming through the brass section in the first minute or so. It really does become more epic the further you get into the track. I’m actually getting some Pirates of the Caribbean vibes here, but won’t be sold on it being Zimmer until it’s officially announced
It's so weird, usually I can hear Zimmer's work from a mile off but this is.. honestly so personality-less that I couldn't even peg it for him. It's good, don't get me wrong. But it feels very generic. It sounds like a bunch of different things all at once.
I feel that this is generic compared to Inquisition…with that being said, it does sound real good. I also think it might be too early to judge. Guess we’ll see, I’m excited either way!
Am I the only one who dislikes the way the music builds itself up? Trevor Morris gave us beautiful ost and a main theme that fits the whole game narrative right from it's start, while Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe drags the music for 2:50 minutes until the main theme kicks in. Most of it is unmemorable. I have seen the gameplay trailer though, and I know the theme gets paced better in the intro mission. I just hope we get the same feel as we had in Inquisition.
Okay, so the game has this somewhat dark and melancholic theme, and for the trailer they go for a David Bowie song. Just fire the marketing team already.
It seems to be a trend for DA marketing to use a song that doesn't match the game... I'm sure an inquisition trailer used an Imagine Dragons song (or someone similar), which didn't fit at all... They probably use popular songs (usually of the time but not always) to market to the normies. Although, Heroes is a great Bowie song. It;s context is kinda dark... But yeah, from this music theme & gameplay reveal, the game is going to be a mix of high (Inquisition) & dark fantasy (Origins & 2)..
Fake or really Balfe and Zimmer make it? Balfe made Assassin's Creed 3 too wonderfully! But they should bring back the 2 main themes from Dragon Age 1-2 and Inquisiton too if this game will connect in lore and in characteristic way to the previous games
The track 100% real as I got it from an official Bioware stream/source... Evidence suggests these are the composers as Trevor Morris (Inquisition composer) confirmed in a now deleted tweet that Hans Zimmer is replacing him. Lorne Balfe is veteran of Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions, and he was confirmed & credited in a secret teaser track for Dreadwolf/Veilguard on the Dragon Age Trilogy soundtrack vinyl released last year.
@@FilmGamerHUN True... But this is now the second track from them... The first one being "D'read Koda"... Lorne works for/with Hans Zimmer and going from prior DA soundtracks, they usually use the same composer throughout... Plus multiple others have said the same... But we won't have to wait very long to find out though.
Hans Zimmer is a great composer and etc but this is just.. idk boring? Even choir doesn't help much (2:42). Can't understand why not Trevor Morris? Inquisition's ost was absolutely majestic masterpiece.
This isn't the main theme, it's one "track" of the soundtrack. It's too slow for a main theme. Hans Zimmer will probably only do the main theme and the "rest" of his studio (remote control productions) will takeover for the rest of the game soundtrack
It may or may not be the main theme... It's the assumed one until stated otherwise (Which I have left in the pinned comment thread, which includes the "remote control productions" you've also said)... Also, you have heard the DA:Origins & especially DA2 main theme? They're not exactly fast either as they're slow too. Only Inquisition main theme is more epically fast.
@@SpectreSaunders Ah I see, when I meant slow, I meant there is no finale build up to a main theme like the three other Dragon Age games. This part is just my opinion, but I also doubt Remote Control Productions would only use legato strings/brass/choir and a few drum hits for the main theme considering many other themes they put out over the years.
Not sure why they'd only score a track for a trailer, so it's most likely one of them or both... You can hear a variation of this track during the gameplay reveal in the Arlathan section... They've also been credited on a 2nd track that released last year as a secret bonus track for DA:V called "D'read Koda" ... *EDIT:* It's just been confirmed that Han Zimmer & Lorne are doing The Veilguard music from the credits of Vows & Vengeance.
Am I the only one who doesn't like it? I would prefer if they used a theme similar to Lost Elf Theme, which was perfect for Solas. This one doesn't sound anything like it, and is kinda generic, boring.
@@miossid I agree, but I do personally like this... It's very high & dark fantasy mixed with a feeling of dread(wolf)... We haven't heard the full score yet so maybe there'll be more tracks to your liking.
Trevor Morris was great in the Vikings... but his OST for DA? Too generic. I was disappointed 10 years ago and I am still disappointed now. If HZ & LB is truly on the board, we can expect cinematic and epic adventure.
@@barbarosa3d239 If you find DAI of generic (which it definetly is not), then i would like to dissappoint you in what you will hear from Zimmer. For what is ZImmer music in 90% of cases if not just another identical pretentious epic sound.
@@Hierarch_Artanis Yes, DAI was generic... the closest for comparison is Starfield... too few memorable melodies (only main theme was good and memorable), I can play whatever melody from Vikings even half-sleepy, but DAI? Maybe it is not Trevor´s fault, who knows what producers wanted from him... HZ is founder of modern epic music, he does not need to pretend anything :D
@@Hierarch_Artanis To call Hans Zimmer's music, one of the best composers in the world along John Williams, also winner of Oscars, "identical pretentious epic sound 90% of cases", then I can only conclude you have absolutely zero idea of what you're talking about. Either that, or you have very little knowledge of his work, movie/tv series/game orchestra in general or maybe just really bad opinion.
This is pretty boring compared to the other games and Hans Zimmers other work. This doesn't sound like a main theme but more like background music for some dialogue
My guess is, if it's not the main theme then maybe it's the main menu music... But we'll get proper confirmation soon... You can hear an altered version / the same chords of it in the gameplay reveal when Rook & co are fighting in Arlathan.
@@Bro-dot- This is probably the main theme or a variation of it. You can hear another variation of this track during the gameplay reveal when Rook & co are in Arlathan.
The weakest music of the series, Hans Zimmer does not know how to write music for Fantasy. And I'm not going to pretend like 99% of Hans Zimmer fanatics just because it's Hans Zimmer. In parts 1-3, the main theme is much better and was written with a soul. It's like music for a romantic movie
That's Hanz Zimmer for you. It's the reverse genius effect - when you make something so perfect popular, every trailer starts sounding like this, and then people start seeing your work as generic.
I would argue that all of his music is generic and sounds like it belongs in an epic trailer music compilation, but that's just me. I think Trevor Morris's music for DAI was the best in the series I really don't get why they needed to blow a wad on Han Zimmer at all. And Lorne Balfe isn't much better when it comes to generic soundtracks. I hope the in game music is better.
Genuinely, how is this generic? Do you need something like the Marvels theme to say it's good? This is the best theme I've heard. And we don't know if this is really the main theme or not
@@lcicada Okay, kann man die Meinung haben. Es ist keine Musik für ein kämpferisches Spiel, nicht episch. Mir gefallen auch die Filmmusiken der o.g. nicht. Finde ich auch zu langweilig und zu plätschernd. Aber jeder hat halt einen anderen Geschmack. Die Musik passt eher zu einen Liebesfilm.
Sounds exactly how I imagined a hans Zimmer dragon age theme would sound. You could replace the title with any other fantasy ip in existence and it would fit as much as it fits dragon age. It's pretty, a bit generic and not at all exciting.
Even the name will not save this title. And the music is not characteristic at all. The themes of the first two parts were Great. You mean Dragon Age? I think - Only Inon Zur🔥🤘😎 🔥
@@thomasb2031I have... His Origins & Fallout music is great! I get some origin vibes from this. It's interesting noticing how you didn't speak about and ignored his DA2 OST entirely, as his DA2 music really isn't _that_ good in comparison... His Starfield & Elder Scrolls Blades OST's (& probably his ES6 OST) aren't great either as they're quite generically dull or sound like rejected tracks from better scores... Trevor's DAI OST is leagues better than DAO&2 scores.
@@thomasb2031 *Everyone stares at you in Trespasser Dark Solas Theme, Lost Elf, The Descent Main Theme & Aftermath, The Dawn Will Come, Calling The Inquisition, In Hushed Whispers, Journey/Return to Skyhold, Wicked Eyes & Wicked Hearts, Qunari Battle, Most of the Tavern Bard songs - Sera Never Was, Enchanter, etc:* "Please, Listen to the Dragon Age Inquisition and it's DLC OST's before you speak"...

Maybe a version more epic and orchestral for the theme , based on last minutes

This sounds amazing but I also wish to hear the Dark solas theme once more in this game
You can hear elements of it in the gameplay reveal, it's actually blended in a really interesting way with the new music
@@IainDoc15 Do you know what part of the gameplay reveal that is? Or is it sprinkled through?
@@tdnosnhojtheaters One of the really noticeable parts is when Varric is leaving the group to go meet Solas

1:47 sounds really similar to Inon Zur's Origins theme, I hope Zimmer and Balfe bring back allusions to the previous composers styles.
That would be rad!
We have waited since 2014 and finally a continuing story after the dlc of inquisition
Zimmer AND Dragon Age. Am I asleep?
HOLY SHIT HANS MOTHERFUCKING ZIMMER IS WORKING ON VEILGUARD?! THATS IT BOYS WEVE WON!!
This absolutely fantastic. I am beyond excited to see northern Thedas.
They will give us the release date today. I’m so readyyyy 😩😩
May the Dreadwolf (finally) take us! 🥚🐺
This looks like the same map as in the Collector's Edition (Rook’s Coffer).

You are A HERO. Thank you so much for this!!!! ❤❤❤❤
🎵"We can be heroes... Just for one day!" 🎵

This doesn't really impress me, honestly. I was hoping Trevor Morris would make a return. He did a phenomenal job with Inquisition.
It saddens me too. Zimmer feels generic
I'd really like to hear a full version of the 'Heroes' cover that's been playing during trailers

You have no taste if you think this is generic
Glad to know music still great in these series. At least they didn't fire good composers.
I liked battle theme as well.

@@SpectreSaunders Ah I see, when I meant slow, I meant there is no finale build up to a main theme like the three other Dragon Age games. This part is just my opinion, but I also doubt Remote Control Productions would only use legato strings/brass/choir and a few drum hits for the main theme considering many other themes they put out over the years.
No way...
Juro que em 1:45 me lembrou do DA Origins
Is he the main composer for game or just for trailer ?
Not sure why they'd only score a track for a trailer, so it's most likely one of them or both... You can hear a variation of this track during the gameplay reveal in the Arlathan section... They've also been credited on a 2nd track that released last year as a secret bonus track for DA:V called "D'read Koda" ... *EDIT:* It's just been confirmed that Han Zimmer & Lorne are doing The Veilguard music from the credits of Vows & Vengeance.
Am I the only one who doesn't like it? I would prefer if they used a theme similar to Lost Elf Theme, which was perfect for Solas. This one doesn't sound anything like it, and is kinda generic, boring.
I hope they use a rendition of Lost Elf & Dark Solas theme... This isn't the confirmed main theme as of yet, but I assume it is.
@@SpectreSaunders both Lost Elf Theme and DAI Main Theme are much better than this
@@miossid I agree, but I do personally like this... It's very high & dark fantasy mixed with a feeling of dread(wolf)... We haven't heard the full score yet so maybe there'll be more tracks to your liking.
@@SpectreSaunders Yeah I hope so. There hasn't been a Dragon Age game in which I don't like the score
*:::IMPERIUM KONTRAATAKUJE:::*
They just need to try their hand at a Dragon Age MMO at this point
*Looks over at their other multiplayer game, Anthem:* "No" 😅
Absolutely not
*pinches himself*
Wait how do we know this is Hans Zimmer?
by official statement from BioWare
It's just been confirmed that Han Zimmer & Lorne are doing The Veilguard music from the credits of Dragon Age: Vows & Vengeance audio drama.
Unlike others i am very sceptical about this choice of composer. Trevor Morris would be a better choice.
Trevor Morris was great in the Vikings... but his OST for DA? Too generic. I was disappointed 10 years ago and I am still disappointed now. If HZ & LB is truly on the board, we can expect cinematic and epic adventure.
@@barbarosa3d239 If you find DAI of generic (which it definetly is not), then i would like to dissappoint you in what you will hear from Zimmer. For what is ZImmer music in 90% of cases if not just another identical pretentious epic sound.
@@Hierarch_Artanis Yes, DAI was generic... the closest for comparison is Starfield... too few memorable melodies (only main theme was good and memorable), I can play whatever melody from Vikings even half-sleepy, but DAI? Maybe it is not Trevor´s fault, who knows what producers wanted from him... HZ is founder of modern epic music, he does not need to pretend anything :D
@@Hierarch_Artanis To call Hans Zimmer's music, one of the best composers in the world along John Williams, also winner of Oscars, "identical pretentious epic sound 90% of cases", then I can only conclude you have absolutely zero idea of what you're talking about. Either that, or you have very little knowledge of his work, movie/tv series/game orchestra in general or maybe just really bad opinion.
@@andreamorim7365 Opinion can not be bad or good. This is where this dialog is over.
Wow! This really makea me fucking miss Inon Zur.
This is so... Nothing.
This is pretty boring compared to the other games and Hans Zimmers other work. This doesn't sound like a main theme but more like background music for some dialogue
My guess is, if it's not the main theme then maybe it's the main menu music... But we'll get proper confirmation soon... You can hear an altered version / the same chords of it in the gameplay reveal when Rook & co are fighting in Arlathan.
@@SpectreSaundersmain menu music for inquisition was the main theme though… so guessing they changed that
@@Bro-dot- This is probably the main theme or a variation of it. You can hear another variation of this track during the gameplay reveal when Rook & co are in Arlathan.
@@SpectreSaunders That’s true, think you are spot on actually. Skyhold theme was essentially the main music theme from DAI.
Even with Hans Zimmer, I find it disappointing. For the main theme, I was expecting something more epic...
The weakest music of the series, Hans Zimmer does not know how to write music for Fantasy.
And I'm not going to pretend like 99% of Hans Zimmer fanatics just because it's Hans Zimmer. In parts 1-3, the main theme is much better and was written with a soul. It's like music for a romantic movie
Inquisition’s music was my favourite, this is a little boring and generic. Each to their own obvs 🥰
Well made sure, but nothing very memorable or anything that stands out in perticular.
I am not impressed, way too generic for a main theme.
I think the developers got confused and thought this was star wars 🤷
Sounds generic. I miss Trevor Morris.
Sounds too much like Star Wars
That's Hanz Zimmer for you. It's the reverse genius effect - when you make something so perfect popular, every trailer starts sounding like this, and then people start seeing your work as generic.
Вы меня извините, но звучит, как типичный ютубовский эмбиент из плейлиста по типу даркакадемии
Lol
Wow,Hans Zimmer can be really mediocre when he's not passionate about his project. This is so generic.
I would argue that all of his music is generic and sounds like it belongs in an epic trailer music compilation, but that's just me. I think Trevor Morris's music for DAI was the best in the series I really don't get why they needed to blow a wad on Han Zimmer at all. And Lorne Balfe isn't much better when it comes to generic soundtracks. I hope the in game music is better.
Genuinely, how is this generic? Do you need something like the Marvels theme to say it's good? This is the best theme I've heard.
And we don't know if this is really the main theme or not
@@ChronicaErys What about it stands out? There is no hook? It's just sad violin music.mp3. idk, I'm hoping this isn't the actual theme.
Naja, ein bisschen langweilig ist die Musik schon. Gewinne ich jetzt gegenüber den anderen DA-Teilen nicht sonderlich viel ab.
Da bin ich anderer Meinung. Die Musik in den letzten 3 Teilen war all over the place. 🤷♀️
@@lcicada Okay, kann man die Meinung haben. Es ist keine Musik für ein kämpferisches Spiel, nicht episch. Mir gefallen auch die Filmmusiken der o.g. nicht. Finde ich auch zu langweilig und zu plätschernd. Aber jeder hat halt einen anderen Geschmack. Die Musik passt eher zu einen Liebesfilm.
Sounds exactly how I imagined a hans Zimmer dragon age theme would sound.
You could replace the title with any other fantasy ip in existence and it would fit as much as it fits dragon age.
It's pretty, a bit generic and not at all exciting.
Even the name will not save this title. And the music is not characteristic at all. The themes of the first two parts were Great. You mean Dragon Age? I think - Only Inon Zur🔥🤘😎 🔥
Inon Zur: What the f*** is that s***??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Everyone:* "Inon Zur, your Starfield OST sounded like rejected fallout 4 tracks that didn't fit the tone of game at all" 😅
@@SpectreSaunderslisten to the Dragon Age Origins OST before you speak
@@thomasb2031I have... His Origins & Fallout music is great! I get some origin vibes from this. It's interesting noticing how you didn't speak about and ignored his DA2 OST entirely, as his DA2 music really isn't _that_ good in comparison... His Starfield & Elder Scrolls Blades OST's (& probably his ES6 OST) aren't great either as they're quite generically dull or sound like rejected tracks from better scores... Trevor's DAI OST is leagues better than DAO&2 scores.
@@SpectreSaunders not surprising, the ost was rushed like the game. But he gave the soul of Dragon age. In DAI,just the theme was good
@@thomasb2031 *Everyone stares at you in Trespasser Dark Solas Theme, Lost Elf, The Descent Main Theme & Aftermath, The Dawn Will Come, Calling The Inquisition, In Hushed Whispers, Journey/Return to Skyhold, Wicked Eyes & Wicked Hearts, Qunari Battle, Most of the Tavern Bard songs - Sera Never Was, Enchanter, etc:* "Please, Listen to the Dragon Age Inquisition and it's DLC OST's before you speak"... I'm sorry but to me, Inon is very hit & miss these days... Besides his amazing Fallout scores.
