INNER SANCTUM (Isaac Soundtrack Overhaul)

The Essential Hengsongs

Attempted Robbery Makes Music Hit Harder

IT'S FINALLY HERE! After months of fine-tuning and polish, my personal take on Isaac's soundtrack has been released to the public.

This theme was initially a way to set the tone of the project; it was one of the first tracks made for it. I wanted to capture a facet of how I wanted it to sound, taking influence from other soundtracks while also doing something original in its own right.

INNER SANCTUM

Consciousness Wading (Title Theme Light)

Isaac is a game about cycles, so I wanted to give this track a sort of underlying feeling of melancholy, a loss of innocence, and despair. Ultimately, I ended up using a few of its motifs in other tracks. Above all else though, I wanted to give it a drive, a feeling of pushing forwards despite the odds. Nothing sucks more than being sent back to the drawing board, but you gotta pull through.

The Cycle Reborn (Basement)

Sometimes there's nothing stranger than waking up in the dead of the morning to have your head full of fog; your senses not all quite there yet. The Cellar is an infamously difficult starting area, and it usually marks a difficulty spike in the game that steers many players off from seeing the game through to the end. It's a wake-up call, and one that your senses will have to adjust to, if you want to brave the looming horrors that await further below.

Your Mind Needs Tuning (Cellar)

Everything's in disarray, yet you push forward.

This track was one of my personal favorites to make; I wanted to give it a sort of "hardened warrior" energy; the spaghetti western vibe from Repentance's Downpour theme retrofitted to a small child roleplaying as a cowboy as everything crumbles around him. 

Another thing with this track is that I wanted it to sound damaged; some of the synths and rhythmic beeping made to emulate the sound of a fire alarm. The song was also made to be a bit crunchy, as if the speakers playing them were fire-damaged themselves.

Fire Under The Floorboards (Burning Basement)

The Keepers welcome you in with open arms. Rest your weary soul, and pray that the sin of Greed doesn't overtake you. 

Laid-back and somewhat acoustic, this track was made to represent a sort of "resting spot" for the player.

Flicker Of Innocence (Shop)

Directly inspired by old KEYGEN tracks of the 1990s, this track was more or less a love letter to the entire chiptune genre. Arcades in Isaac are more or less designated gambling hubs, so I figured I might as well embrace that and make a song that's fittingly chipper to go alongside it.

One of the biggest things I disliked about Repentance's boss rush theme was its lack of drive; for an onslaught of foes, one which you had to speed through the game to even see at all, it lacked a pulse, at least in my opinion. I wanted to bring that energy back in full force, to egg the player on to power through every foe who's done them dirty to that point. In fact, this was one of the first tracks made for the mod, and I think it came out really well!

One Child Army (Boss Rush)

Ah, to hell with all this sequential order stuff! Let's give the people what they WANT! 

Heavily inspired by Danny Baranowsky's Necrodancer soundtrack, I had always envisioned the Mausoleum as a sort of proverbial "trance-like undead disco". The faint purple glow of the teleporters coupled with a candlelit neon aesthetic made me think of it as a place for the dead to come to life and party their sorrows away. 

Also, fun fact about that scream sound effect that plays partway through the song; it's actually some dude's daughter! He uploaded the sound to FreeSound.org and there's something oddly comforting and amusing about the most inhuman sounds coming from a real person.

Undying Undercroft (Mausoleum)

The bell tolls 5 times for the wicked. Divinity has other plans for you.

My personal favorite track in the mod as a whole; I wanted this track to be a *constant* ramp-up in intensity. Each and every phase built off of the last. Pestilence's theme was meant to be invocative of flies buzzing, War was meant to give a sense of primal fury, so on and so forth. 

Expect this to be the last upload for the project (for now) while I move onto other things.
