I love reading what Ben Houge write about his approach to composing this piece.
“The first thing I was told about Arcanum was the central conflict of the game: magic versus technology. This idea was so interesting and unique that I considered carefully how to best reflect it in the music. I presented a couple of ideas to the guys at Troika, and we finally settled on a sort of musical anachronism: a score centered around the styles and textures of Renaissance, medieval, and early music, but performed by a characteristic ensemble of the Victorian era, the string quartet.”
I love how ever after almost 20 years there are still someone paying tribute to the game and its OST
I still pay tribute to your mom after 20 years. Zing!

Got em
It's a fantastic piece of classical music hidden in an obscure game. Not a lot of ears will have the pleasure of hearing it. It deserves a rendition like this. Thank you.
And the game title itself reflected on it, " Arcanum: of steamworks and magick Obscura" The devs know it even as they were developing the game itself.
One of the greatest game ideas of the time. It was enjoyable... Though heavily, heavily flawed like most of Troika's games.
@@Grigeralto me personally these flaws added to the game feel. Because of the game's peculiarities I remember the game even more fondly. The music, the story, the artwork. A true masterpiece in it's own niche.
@@svengotal8771 I can understand that for 'some' of them lol. A lot of Troika game's bugs though were game breaking.
A good example was Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. The game is one of the best vampire based RPG's in existence... But it's been fixed by the fans over the years and still is worked on by them (same with Arcanum iirc, with fan patches fixing the game up properly).
In Vampire I remember one bug where towards the end, the trigger to end the werewolf encounter never occurred and as a result there was no way to escape it. So you just died indefinitely. Turned out if it didn't work, there was no way to salvage the save either so you had to start over :(
Obscure? it was one of the most popular games in the year it came out in Europe
At 1:48 the last fiddler on the right picked a wrong note, the cellist in the middle noticed and looked at him, and he replied with an embarassed grimace :P
So beautifull music... I completed Arcanum many times. Every time I chosen the different path, I felt like I was writing story about the character I created. But no matter, was my character a great hero who was saving the world, the necromancer who hated every human being or just an explorer, seeking for treasures in fog-shrouded corenrs of mystical world, every adventure started with this music, and every time I played for different character, the music sounded different too... While listening to this masterpiece I could easily imagine if I was evil man who had blood of his hands, who couldn't turn back anymore, or a man who had to face all terrors of the ancient land, step by step turning to a great hero. That's why Arcanum music in masterpiece.
This was always my favorite track in the entire game
I'll play this on my Funeral. Such a great final music for me
Love this game. I remember it like yesterday. I picked it up at Wal-Mart based on the cover. Got it home, installed it, played it for hours, enthralled. I was FREEZING at the end and didn't realize the heat was off the entire time.
I want to see this soundtrack played live. The sheet music was posted onto the internet for free by the composer and I hope that there are upcoming quartets learning this soundtrack
That was simply beautiful! Thank you, guys!
This game made me want to get into stringed instruments.
Любимая игра, любимая музыка. Спасибо!
Просто потрясающе!!!
Великолепно!!!
Браво!!!
great to see you guys still going
They died during the ogre progroms at the ripe old age of 20 in an orc sweatshop in Tarant. Buried in Ashbury. RIP

Arcanum has great music and even better design.
A tad fast-paced compared to the original from Ben Houge (which lasts roughly 20 seconds more), still awesome. Must play at 0.9 speed, then it's 100% true to the original. Subscribed, hoping to see the rest of the soundtrack someday (I checked the other few tracks you made already)!
Incredible. This theme is so haunting, you capture it perfectly. Amazing rendition!
Beautiful. Greetings from Portugal.
Beautiful..
It's perfect! One of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard. They could do a continuation ... Excellent work!
true
С первых нот появляются удивительные ощущения в теле. Захватывает дух и разливается теплом. Интересно, это свойства композиции или побочные эффекты ностальгии связанные с игрой...
Мурашки по коже , вернулся в свой 2002 .
Wow. I applaud you. I’ve loved this theme. Thank you for this, you are great. And hello from Finland. ❤️
Best RPG game .. Arcanum 😍

Аж слеза ностальгии появилась)
Very good job guys. Russia seems to make a lot of great video game composers
As a matter of fact, Ben Houge - Arcanum's original composer - is American 😛
Великолепно!
Это Круто!
Wow. I did not think I'd find this. Words cannot express it. Thank you.
Hi 😀 I love this performance ! I made a video about Arcanum, showing the game in the earlier alpha version. The game looked a little different back then . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Кайф! Спасибо большое
it feels like sorrowful joy
Bravo! Great performance! Greetings from Finland :)
Amazing!
wonderful!
Присоединяюсь к другим комментаторам - рад что вы не бросаете свой проект и продолжаете играть. Музыка замечательная, спасибо!
Непонятно только зачем нужно было ускорять темп относительно оригинала. Более правильная версия получается на скорости 0.75, но тогда ухудшается качество звука (и на такой скорости всё же уже получается чуть медленнее оригинала).
@@MariaEsenina Дело в том что вероятнее всего то что мы слышали в оригинале замедленно)
@@LisichnikovSevastyan оригинал на то и оригинал, что это исходный материал. Эта композиция написана для Arcanum, более того, на концерте эти же ребята исполняют эту же композицию в верном темпе.
Memories
Arcanum: Demise of the Zephyr - жалко вот этой темы нет.
А так 10 из 10 . спасибо вам за творчество. Неожиданно услышать для себя было музыку из мною любимой игры.
Спасибо. ♥️
Utterly beautiful, gave me shivers. I loved this game.
I love Arcanum, its sound, its world and what you made here is truly great.
Beautiful, thank you!
You guys kept playing this song, after all these years...
