    This track is still so emotional, even after all this time. I can't really describe the kind of feeling I get when I play Risk of Rain 2. Tracks like this really bring to life the feeling of a desperate struggle. Fighting, clawing, just for an inch to forge a path in this unforgiving hellscape of a planet. This is the track that made me fall in love with this game. It's been a hell of a ride honestly. And the new stuff that was added today, man... This game is a masterpiece. Thank you Chris. Risk of Rain really wouldn't be the same without you.

    I remember an interview where you said that 'The Raindrop that Fell to the Sky' is the first song you composed for Risk of Rain 2 while having any idea of what stage it's being composed for.
    While you can definitely hear it in that song, and just how well it fits the thematic and atmosphere of Siren's Call-- there's something to be said about how well 'Into the Doldrums' combines with Rallypoint Delta. The song doesn't necessarily scream 'ice level', but it still meshes fantastically with the stage's tone.
    With the album commentary for Risk of Rain (2013), you also said that Coalesence was written without the intention of being 'this is the final stage song'. Chris, are you sure you or your music aren't just psychic?

    I really love the name, into the doldrums. It perfectly encapsulates not only the song, but the journey of the survivor.
    The doldrums is a region in the Atlantic with calm waters, sudden storms, and everything in between. It also means stagnation, or depression. I interpret this as sitting in the eye of the storm, lying stagnant in an endless ocean, surrounded by chaos and destruction, and all you can do is cry out.
    However, we are not there yet, we are heading Into the doldrums. What lies ahead on the ocean, on this planet, is uncertainty, danger, and most likely death. We are afraid, and we scream in fear and agony, but we have to go there. We have no other choice but to go Into the Doldrums.

    This song feels almost like a dark reflection of Coalescence. Which not only fits the scene of Rallypoint Delta fucking perfectly, as many have already pointed out, but, it being used for the Gilded Coast also, feels *incredibly* appropriate. Both in how well the song feels like it fits the atmosphere of the environment, and the thematic parallel between the remnants left by those who remained trapped on the planet, and the place where The Guardian has remained imprisoned for far longer.

      It's less refined, and more primal. The howling of an animal, screaming in all languages "I will survive".

    You know, Gilded Coast is an odd stage for me.
    Ive been there countless times to claim my Halcyon Seed. But i also think its such a beautiful stage, and that beauty is only elevated by this also beautiful but mysteriously melancholic track. It reminds me of snow falling (Rallypoint Delta moment), and evokes a sense of yearning for something - to travel, to discover, to leave everything and everybody and just go and never come back.
    The gilded coast being in the middle of the ocean gives me exactly that feeling. The starry night is truly gorgeous; the rings, both on the island and in the distance make for an amazing scenery. The atmosphere is so nostalgic, somehow, and it makes me want to build a boat and sail across the infinite ocean, calm, reflecting all of the colorful stars, with gentle ripples making them vibrate, like a hopeless dream, in the night that never ends. I cant say ive ever felt the same for any other track or videogame stage before.

      Besides if you enter the water you only see how deep the ocean truly is. I have thalassophobia, but i feel a sense of peace and excitement by seeing such depth, for some reason. It is scary, but thinking about the journey to new unknown places through such alien- gorgeous- massive seas makes up for the fear completely.
      I even explored the stage a bit better with noclip on! Feels amazing

      @AstronautDown  Рік тому +17

      I don't think I can go into it in a comment... How music (and I guess all art) is made is at the same time almost unexplainable and extremely simple. The best way to describe it is that it's the accumulation of knowledge and practice. This is something anyone can learn, it's not magic. Every time I sit to write I come up with something because that's what I'm trained to do. But the little decisions that go into it and make my music different than someone else's are often inexplicable even to the creator, and, I suspect, come from that thing that some people call talent, others soul, others mind (as opposed to brain, which is the pure craft part). The latter is my preferred terminology.
      I could talk about the craft for days and weeks and months, but I could not explain how I do it because not even I fully understand.

    I absolutely love this theme, really makes it feel like your living in a strange dimension. I know it's used in Rally Point Delta but it matches Aurelionite's Pocket Dimension more. Being locked away in a strange water and gold filled floating island realm with no way out. Rather sad he was trapped here but at least the Lemurians worshiped him and made him feel of value.

    I never played Risk of Rain until only a few weeks ago when I picked them up as a bundle for Steam Summer Sale, and let me say I am absolutely HOOKED. Rallypoint Delta is probably my favorite stage in the game because of this BGM. I remember mentioning it to my friends I was playing it with that I was really impressed by the soundtrack of the game in general, but I really do think this is a standout even among standouts. Great work, very much looking forward to your future tracks!

    Chris, i went a whole day begore i knew Risk of Rain 2 was out for early access. I basically cried listening to this song, and when i saw the magma worm, i cried. I’m pretty sure i rewound to watch that exact moment when it climbs into the sky and comes barreling toward the camera, then there’s the Clay Dinestrider explosion, and then the mercenary went at the Elder Lemurian. That’s how i knew Risk of Rain was back, only your tunes could have made that moment so special. Thank you for enriching my life for the past 4 years, i only wish i had discovered risk of rain sooner.

    Holy shit dude, you somehow took the feeling of psychedelic space exploration and condensed it into a kick ass emotional song. I feel like I should be off my ass on shrooms in the 70's at Woodstock listening to this. Physically gave me the stank face when I was playing the game. I've never had an OST do that to me.

    This song has just stuck with me since playing RoR2 for the first time in 2019. To call it stunning seems like an understatement. It's one of the most hard-hitting videogame songs for me, like, ever, and it will very likely stay like that the rest of my life. The whole atmosphere it builds up in symbiosis with the cold, frosty temperature... It makes me feel hopeless, but in a beautiful way. I stopped playing RoR2 in 2020 or around that time and started again from scratch just a week prior to writing this comment. And this song... It's by far what stuck with me the most. And I think the game in itself is fucking brilliant. So for this song to be what stuck with me those few years... it just shows how hard it hit me. Whenever I think of Risk of Rain, the first thing that comes to mind is that snowy level (don't remember the name) and the song attatched to it.
