Hey they made "the way you compute tonight" work in the 2022 orchestra. If they could make a song like that into a orchestra masterpiece I'm sure they'll fit this song in it perfect
I think it’ll fit perfectly, in fact I think a saxophone to replace the main synth would work really well, they could go for a whole jazz cover kind of feel.
I know that realistically Balatro won't win GOTY, but not only does the game get more recognition but we also get to hear the orchestra play this already masterpiece of a soundtrack and I'm all for it
It's the same theme for hours with some variation for what you are doing, but it never, ever gets old. It's the dictionary definition of evergreen music.
I love how it's just the one theme but it seamlessly changes depending on what's happening. It's basically a 4 minute loop but you can play for hours and not get sick of it.
For me, I think it could be a tension thing. My ears aren't musical trained, but I can't hear a part of the song that feels like a resolution, you know? 7/4 adds to that, seeing as the 8th beat is a common place to throw resolutions, outright skipping it keeps the feeling of tension going. It's a very chill tension, but it's there
@@user-eg6fl6lr7e That's a good way of explaining it. To me it's more of a waltz where my ears separate the full 7/4 bar into a 4/4 bar and a 3/4 so it flows between the two.
Might be my single favorite video game track ever. I listen to it while doing school work, programming, household chores, etc. There's just something so meditative about it but rhythmically interesting enough to keep me focused
I've played this game for over 50 hours and still haven't gotten tired of the background music even though it's basically just one track with minor variations. That's an incredible achievement!
Request: would you please copy and paste this anywhere into the UA-cam description, which would generate in-video timestamps? What a wonderful suite of tracks.
thats gotta be one of the most hypnotic *single track* game OSTs out there lmao usually its a very risky move just to have a single track looping over and over again, but here I'd even go as far as saying it benefits the game's vibe
Welp the secret ingredient from this ost is adaptive music where in some moment like shopping for joker and facing a boss changing the music slight different melody
@@robertonome2448 I agree completely! I also have a feeling some of it comes down to the song being in 7/4, which people aren't generally used to, so the skipped beats subconsciously just keep being interesting even though they aren't new info after a while
This game is peak psychedelic vibes and the music helps TONS with that. Could listen to it for hours. The boss blind theme is so oddly menacing and the moment the blind is defeated, the music change is soo relieving. Masterfully made, great job!
On the boss blind I'm pretty sure it's that background organ sound (at least I think that's what the sound is going for) that makes it more tense/menacing. It does its job so well
Mastered the art of relistenablility, 50 hours of gameplay and still listen to it while driving/working. Such pleasantness cannot seem to get tired of it
When I first bought Balatro I played it so much that my brain started piecing together the theme out of random noises and made me hallucinate it for a couple of weeks. Was a pretty neat time in my life.
Dude you went INSANE on this soundtrack. Legit blown away and my brother and I are loving every second. Please put this on streaming so we can get you some $$ there too, even if only a little gets to you 🤞
Putting it up on bandcamp would be the best imho. Imagine paying like 3 bucks for this track (most of which the artist will receive) and you can listen to this banger anywhere at any time :)
I hope this goes down in history as one of the greatest pieces of video game music ever composed. It takes magic and some secret sauce to make a four minute loop this addictive.
your music is a major reason why this game is such a good time. just subtle enough to never become annoying when listening to it for hours, while still being extremely catchy and smoothly produced/constructed
there's something in this song that just grabs you and never let go. My friend came to my place one day and showed me this game. the volume was really low and he was talking over it about the game, but the music immediately peaked my attention. The game looked fun and all, but holy shit, this music...
It's rare for music to be so good that, despite the option of just throwing the UA-cam video into one of those MP3 rip websites, I go ahead and legitimately BUY it. This is one of those times. This game and everything about it should be supported.
I’m convinced this music is what snagged me in and the gameplay addicted me. Ironic given it’s a poker rogue like. But thank god Steam randomly recommended me this! An absolute vibe.
i dont know how a single looping theme song could have SO MUCH replayability, its so impressive, that it almost comes off as this song possessing magical properties.
Not only did you make such a sick banger, you did the unimaginable and have them mixed like in the game, perfect thinking music, thank you for the amazing work!
Need a tool that seamlessly transitions and loops between all the different versions. It'd be so cool to be able to just put it on for like 2 hours straight without worrying about how it loops and shuffles.
I hope your amazing work on this soundtrack brings you much recognition and success, you deserve it all. This music is immortal. People will be listening 50 years from now, guaranteed.
I can’t stop gushing over this OST. So thoughtfully put together and atmospheric to the max. Whether it’s playing Balatro or something vibing with homies in a sesh circle, it’s absolutely perfectly suited. (See what I did there? Suited? Like cards? Hehe)
It’s absolutely impressive what you accomplished with this track. I can’t believe I’ve listened to this for 20+ hours and I’m still enjoying it. Compositionally astounding.
With the demo and the full release, I've listened to the main theme for about 100hrs and I'm still not tired of it. You really knocked it out of the park, top quality.
Amazing soundtrack that, just like the game itself, accomplishes so much while keeping it so simple. It just works. Something you can listen to for hours that never becomes repetative. And the squeeze and release feeling of fading in and out of the boss theme is just superb. When it fades from the boss theme to the main theme for the first time you just realize how much you've been holding your breath, and all the details coming back into the music feels like such a relief. Just amazing.
This is one of those rogue like games I can play for literally hours. I've bought it on everything I have, PC, switch, and mobile soon. You are the best, Balatro Dev, I love you.
This is psychedelic heaven. You really helped A LOT to give this game its hypnotic vibe, this OST seriously is an integral part of the experience. Masterfully done.
This is playing on a neverending loop in my head now. Good thing it's great. I love love love how seamlessly it transitions from one version to another as you play the game.
I love the boss portion of this soundtrack. No lead, no solos, just that two-note drone for the entire duration of the boss blind which really helps intensify the moment. Specially when you barely have the build to beat it.

This is gonna sound so out of place in the TGA orchestra and I'm so there for it
Hey they made "the way you compute tonight" work in the 2022 orchestra. If they could make a song like that into a orchestra masterpiece I'm sure they'll fit this song in it perfect
@@Speculaasjust imagine this banger playing after the game gets GOTY
I think it’ll fit perfectly, in fact I think a saxophone to replace the main synth would work really well, they could go for a whole jazz cover kind of feel.
I know that realistically Balatro won't win GOTY, but not only does the game get more recognition but we also get to hear the orchestra play this already masterpiece of a soundtrack and I'm all for it
I think it'll work especially with Astro Bot being in the lineup, I guarantee there will be a transition between the two games
On repeat until the end of time 😌
Same here! This would also be a dream to see you cover!
Plis pllis plis plis plis plis plis plis.
imagine doing a cover of the full 19 mins
You know it's a killer theme when people with hundreds of hours in this game still don't turn the music off
And continues to listen to it even when the game is closed, like with this video.
omg its some gal named eve
It's the same theme for hours with some variation for what you are doing, but it never, ever gets old. It's the dictionary definition of evergreen music.
I only have it muted now when I play it at work. When I'm at home? Full blast baby!
I muted it anyway, I play with other music sometimes
I love how it's just the one theme but it seamlessly changes depending on what's happening. It's basically a 4 minute loop but you can play for hours and not get sick of it.
That description of the song works perfectly as a description of the game too
@@Ency252 very true

This song doesn’t live in my head rent free, I’m paying double the market rate to have it live there, and I couldn’t be happier.
Disagree. Got old within the first hour.

The soundtrack rates a 7/4 for me as well
@@user-eg6fl6lr7e That's a good way of explaining it. To me it's more of a waltz where my ears separate the full 7/4 bar into a 4/4 bar and a 3/4 so it flows between the two.
Such a joy as a background noise. Literally half of the appeal of the game.
this shit plays 24/7 in my brain at this point
it also plays 7/4 aswell

Hard to believe my favorite video game soundtrack of 2024 was commissioned by an artist the dev found on Fiverr
Might be my single favorite video game track ever. I listen to it while doing school work, programming, household chores, etc. There's just something so meditative about it but rhythmically interesting enough to keep me focused
wow!! that gives indie/underground producers like myself a little perk up!
That’s fucking unreal.
FOR THE WIN IN THE GOTY, WE ARE IN ANTE 8
I've played this game for over 50 hours and still haven't gotten tired of the background music even though it's basically just one track with minor variations. That's an incredible achievement!

the main theme loop is so tight it’s incredible
"Dunka dunka dunk dunk dunk dunk dunk" - NL every 3 minutes

It's amazing how the arcana theme instantly makes me feel like I'm considering which arcana is best for my deck
I really adore the arcana part of the theme, been bopping this OST the entire time studying for my final med exams.
Gonna be a glorious moment when the GOTY orchestra plays this.
This will go crazy at the game awards!

i'm obsessed with the music in this game, seriously great work
7/4 is so real
That drone during long boss stretches gets so haunting. Loving it
Mesmerizing tracks, perfect for this game
I’m convinced this music is what snagged me in and the gameplay addicted me.
Ironic given it’s a poker rogue like. But thank god Steam randomly recommended me this!
An absolute vibe.
this man took the assignment and boy HE DELIVERED
i dont know how a single looping theme song could have SO MUCH replayability, its so impressive, that it almost comes off as this song possessing magical properties.
Would love an Apple Music or Bandcamp release of this.
This has been stuck in my head all week. Fantastic work!
Not only did you make such a sick banger, you did the unimaginable and have them mixed like in the game, perfect thinking music, thank you for the amazing work!
Goty 2024 🃏
If there was a joker that turned off this music in exchange for x5 mult I would NEVER take it. Such a banger.
I can't get this music out of my head since i played the game. It's LITERALLY looping even while i'm sleeping.
i cant get this out of my head bruh ;-;
this music loops endlessly for hours but every time 3:05 comes on it feels just as awesome as the first time
Love the mixing between songs. Definitely one of the best soundtracks out there and fits perfect for the game.
Need a tool that seamlessly transitions and loops between all the different versions. It'd be so cool to be able to just put it on for like 2 hours straight without worrying about how it loops and shuffles.
I was thinking that too. Balatro OST app.
I was thinking of making a piece of software specifically for this tbh. software development is hard so we'll see when I get around to it
We’re getting out of the ante with this one 🔥
you've done something truly incredible here, LouisF. thank you so much!

This is psychedelic heaven. You really helped A LOT to give this game its hypnotic vibe, this OST seriously is an integral part of the experience. Masterfully done.
This by itself is a masterpiece, yet it is paired with a game that is also a masterpiece. Combined, holy.....
This is such a brain worm. Just picked this up today, and already played for 5-6 hours. Absolutely fantastic
I cannot wait to hear what music you will make for the next update to this game! Love this track so much ❤
incredibly impressive soundtrack that suits the game perfectly and adds exactly the right level of weird, ever so slightly menacing atmosphere.
Got into it super recently, what a fascinating strategic roguelike!
And that music is absolutely soothing and perfectly accompaniying the cards.
This is playing on a neverending loop in my head now. Good thing it's great. I love love love how seamlessly it transitions from one version to another as you play the game.
You did such an amazing job for this amazing game, thank you so much Louis!
Strangly nostalgic, I get back to my childhood when I listen to this theme
Ahh what a lovely morning just one game.....AND now its night fall!
Such a simple tune but IT FREAKING WORKS! Damn fine work!
I once played Balatro on a night flight back home from holiday on my Steam Deck and it was one hell of a vibe with this music on.
I particularly love the celestial part. First time I opened a celestial pack I had to take a minute to appreciate the music.
so damn good. you really knocked it out of the park!
Sick soundtrack, entertaining and far from distracting, absolutely nailed it.
Probably listened to around 500 hours of this in the past six months and now im back here missing it, wtf did you put in this song man
Congrats on all the success your work on Balatro has brought you! I am very excited to hear the orchestral version at The Game Awards!
Thank you so much for composing this, the ethereal music is a huge selling point of the game. Easily one of my top OSTs this year.
I love the boss portion of this soundtrack. No lead, no solos, just that two-note drone for the entire duration of the boss blind which really helps intensify the moment. Specially when you barely have the build to beat it.

I am absolutely shocked that I haven't played this so much that I no longer feel anything from it anymore - genuinely an achievement on your part

but the poker hand trigger sound still pop up in my head 😅😅😅😅

I just realized and got goosebumps about how this game achieved this musical structure. Amazing!
