Name: Helluva Boss OST - "Credits" Recreation by WaywardWisp
Duration: 57 s
Description: Here's another Helluva Boss track! This piece plays specifically at the end of "OZZIE'S." This work was also done by Jefferson Friedman, and what an amazing way it is to top off such an incredible work of art.

 I pursue the intersection between timbral and tonal expression. Tonal expression is deeply embedded while timbral expression brings new opportunities for exploration. Timbral music requires new methods of composition to break free of the dictates of western music notation. Sampling provides an avenue for using tonal music within other frameworks. I use my own graphical notation system, the scores are then played programmatically using samples as the source. This provides for seamless intermixing of melody and timbre and the interplay between the two.

This piece came out of a few distinct inspirations. When the idea came to me, I was listening to a lot of Steve Reich and John Adams music, and studying their techniques of building texture. At the same time, I listened to a piece by Ludger Brümmer called Le Tombeau de Maurice where he used samples from a performance of Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. He generated textures that would rapidly morph into almost direct quotes from the sampled piece. I got the idea to try to combine minimalist textures with this kind of rapid transformation. It made for an interesting contrast between very clearly tonal and very clearly timbral music. I chose to sample a piece by Duke Ellington because the mood was similar in spirit to my intentions. Also, the piano provided good source material for the textures I intended to create. In terms of the technique actually used for composing, I drew on one of my very original inspirations for getting into computer music: Iannis Xenakis' Mycenae Alpha.

Helluva Boss OST - "Credits" Recreation

And continue to fight you have. After all, you’re a solider. Your only purpose is to fight. The battles are getting more challenging as you ascend the obelisk, but that shouldn’t concern you. It’s a bit strange, though: This is almost starting to feel fun.

SICKO SANCTUM 2 OST - “Rising Action”

It’s been ages since you’ve had a good challenge. But that’s good. The last thing you want is for the enemy to win the war. But never did you anticipate the frenzied fervor of the obelisk’s summit. Your speed, your accuracy, your weapons—your resilience—all are evenly matched by a solider that you never even considered could exist. The exhilaration of a real challenge makes you wonder—all this fighting and killing: What is its purpose? What does it mean? You’re still not sure, but whatever this feeling is, it’s addicting, and now that you’ve felt it, no longer will you fight this war—at least, not for the sake of fighting.

SICKO SANCTUM 2 OST - “Determination”

The terra-humans created the Chaos Cradle after the collapse of Millawar’s utopia, and they’ve been pumping out Ballers for their army ever since. You peer over the edge of the obelisk to see Ballers incubate in the pods lining its interior. Surely there must be a bottom, but if you want to discover it, you’ll have to alter your strategy and break free from habit. Motivated by your curiosity, you humble yourself to accept a challenge beyond any soldier you’ve faced before.

SICKO SANCTUM 2 OST - “The Descent”

Miles below the planet’s surface, you find the ruined terra-human utopia. You still intend to end this war, but something has changed. All your exhilaration, all your sacrifices—you can’t shake the thoughts as you fight your way to Millawar’s core. Everything else becomes unimportant as your very perception of the world changes. With every sword slashed, with every gun fired—in everything that you do—all these thoughts swirl manically in your mind as the core looms over you. There’s no turning back. The war is almost over.

SICKO SANCTUM 2 OST - “Fundamental Orientation”

This is a very personal track to me, about a feeling that I cannot describe that has haunted me for years; incidentally, I made a portion of this on a long-ass car ride.

Incessant Intolerability

The core’s interior is entirely made of flesh. In the center is the ancient, arcane face of Millawar’s biological computer. Reclaiming it will cripple the terra-human army, destroy the Chaos Cradle, and end the war. The terra-humans send as much of their army as they can to stop you. But despite expecting your hardest challenge, this doesn’t feel like it. It’s not boring either, though. You feel happy. It’s perfect. Although you did not know it, you’ve been pursuing this feeling all along, from the moment you had the humility to recognize your unknowing. And as you realize this, your mind merges with your combat. You distill the chaos of everything into a single avenue of focus and feel a greater ecstasy than anything you’ve ever felt before. Now, you fight for your own sake. You destroy the remaining forces. You end the war. But now what?

SICKO SANCTUM 2 OST - “Flow”

Your eyes meet those of Millawar’s computer, its face unchanging, its godly aura filling the room, unwavering. If the terra-humans created their army with this computer, maybe it can help you too. Now that the war is over, you’ve finally realized the ecstasy of dedicating yourself so wholly to new challenges. You wish you could fight forever. And the computer hears your wish. A white light flashes around you, and you find yourself surrounded by grand, floating architecture, deep in space. As you begin to fight, you remember being a soldier; you remember being complacent and arrogant, enjoying easy battles; you remember the exhilaration of your first challenge; you remember your obsession; you remember all the sacrifices you made; you remember how alive you felt just moments ago. But in here, you finally understand it all: This war never really ends. There are no ends except those you make yourself. This is The Sicko Sanctum.

SICKO SANCTUM 2 OST - “Self-Transcendence”

I've been working on this for a couple weeks. Title is pretty descriptive of what this is about. Made using FL, me playing most of the parts on a keyboard

Strawberry-flavoured

Track has been in production since September;  isn't *quite* finished but the final product will be featured on my upcoming (by "upcoming" I mean at some point lol) album

uncertainty

Boo! I'm a musician getting invested in all sorts of different online projects, but primarily video games. Here, you'll mostly find soundtrack uploads, but there are also some solo works and transcriptions here and there. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for stopping by!
