"The opening gives way to a small town inhabited by structures that appear familiar yet alien..."

me after i jump into the void with 52% of hp remaining and realizing i don't have Ignition hook, bell, and a good mobility mantra

this soundtrack hit so fuckin hard when layer 2 first came out and you entered layer 2 blind

pov: you failed trial of one and try to wipe in the depths

listen to this while walking in the middle of a literal thunderstorm

This one reminds me of the ambiance tracks in the deepwoken volume 1 album. Those are probably some of my favorite chill tracks, so this one scores high for me

enforcer is fucking BALLIN

this isn't really an old track, nor is this really anything special - i made an elaborate and inspired shitpost on my main account (here: https://soundcloud.com/naktigonis/thresher-jam ), and i thought, 'wonder how this would sound with the depths trial theme'.

the end result is surprisingly decent >:)

feels dirty putting this on my main account though - i already did the exact same joke! so on the secondary account it goes

Order In the Court!

"The lightning answers. A colossal knot of violent, violet light stabs through the sky. A sigil of fire! The thunder roars. Your crew wail and shriek. [...] The sigil's meaning is branded into your mind: the erroneous assumption that there will be a tomorrow.

When you blink, you see it. When you sleep you will see it. When you die you will see it."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Storm That Speaks' interaction)

"Tree-branches cast shadows on the walls of the cave. The light here is not violet, but the cold blue of winter mornings. This is why you came from the Surface. You thought you knew, but you did not, could not know. By the time you leave this place, you will forget again."

( - Fallen London, "Woods in winter" storylet)

The Killing Wind

"Impatient winds hound your vessel. Beneath their moan, you can hear whispered voices. They call to you, inviting you to leave your engine and join their revels in the vaults of the sky [...]."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Whisperwinds' interaction)
-----

"A simple rite. Open windows; shivered words; a wind, welcomed in. Is it a comfort, to know you are not alone? To be watched by one of the capricious gods of the turning sky? Their attention can draw other, unwelcome things."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Thing in the Mist' interaction)

Whisperwind

Colliding Stars (Ultrakill Community Combo MAD) Full Track

"We climb higher. The reflected light off the sea still silvers the sky to our south. There are cheerily coloured beehives, ranged in rows in fields set back from the road. Wild-flower meadows, small vineyards.

We cross a wide pass between high peaks. Beech and pine have thickened in the lower ground, and I can smell resin in the cooler air. A sense of mountain communities and forest wilderness grows. The extent of the woods here makes a nonsense of human frontier lines. Beeches march over borders."

( - Robert Macfarlane, 'Underland')

Blood And Thunder

Hail to the Tide!
Honoured by the sea,
Journey to the fathoms in bravery!

Us you will guide,
Bravest of the brave!
Even should the ocean become your grave!

May you return,
Victory in hand,
May you once again tread on steady land!

Glory you'll earn,
Echo shall your name
In the books of history, crowned in fame!

Onward, to the darkest chasms!
May you never falter,
And may your way be led by Song!

Onward, to the deepest fathoms!
May the light protect you,
May you return triumphant, strong!

"The Song of Fathoms", colloquially also known as "Oscillation", is a popular tune well-known around Lumen. Despite this, it remains a musical piece surrounded by discussion and dispute. In spite of the fact that we know exactly how old the piece is, and who the original author is, certain events and clauses of history mean that we cannot reliably verify its true arrangement and original text.

[...] [F]ollowing the formalities, as the observers cheered on, the first expeditionary [Diver] force - 'The Pioneers', with Akarad at the fore -  descended the cave system and dived into its waters, following the path until they disappeared from sight. At their descent, a musical piece, then called "The Song of Fathoms", was performed by the Scholars' Orchestra of the Scholars of Markor. The piece itself was commissioned for the ceremony collectively by the High Convocation, and the performance was conducted by the Chambermaster of the orchestra, Ingrid Jura.

The Song Of Fathoms (Band Version)

Deepwoken - Diluvian Mechanism remix

imagine what the world of Lumen might look like if the Ignition Union and the Summer Company put their differences aside and worked together.

i don't think anyone in all the Luminants could stand a chance. an endless procession of blades, and an unending storm of cannonades.

business would be *booming*, babeyyyyy.

anyway. no real context behind this track. my mind started wandering quite heavily while i was working on some other music, and i decided to try and sample a variety of my own tracks (WIPs and published stuff) to see what i could throw together, as a creative exercise. gotta get the creativity flowing somehow.

not going on the main account since this is just a sketch - aka, not a track meant to be completed.

for the curious, this contains 'The Killing Wind', 'And Let Slip The Hounds Of War', 'Games Of War', a guitar riff from the upcoming 'Shallow Breath', and two unreleased vocal pieces - 'Our Fortress (Of Smoke And Steel)', and 'The Hammer's Call'. i made the two vocal parts kinda sing in tandem with one another, or i suppose in a sort of call-and-response arrangement.

i like the juxtaposing contrast between the monolithic and many-voiced ignition union theme, ebbing and fading between its own phrases, and the more laid-back and focused summer company theme, singing in (mostly) full sentences. 'The Killing Wind' made for a nice bassy backdrop for this (+ it contains a fragment of 'The Hammer's Call' in and of itself), and the martial themes from the game just seemed to fit the piece's lowkey militaristic vibe.

i spent like... 2 hours hyperfocusing on this track. my bad all,

man. maybe i Do have ADHD.

-- TOGETHER, TALL! SHOULDER TO SHOULDER --
We're one for all, and all for one!
We serve no lord or king;
(-- ONWARD WE MARCH --)
These things bring us joy in life!
-- TOGETHER TALL --
Leave fire in our wake!
Smoke and steel,
(Hey!)
-- MIGHTY UNITED --
To fight and be wealthy is what we want!
-- LIKE NONE BEFORE.

(yes 'song of fathoms' vocal version coming with volume 2 full release. no this is Not it, and the vocal recording sample here is an early draft)
