The Discarded Instrument, a full piano adaptation of Destiny's Music of the Spheres, is now available! Adapted straight from the original orchestral sheet music scores and recorded with the same piano VST that Marty O'Donnell used to draft the music.

Music of the Spheres was the musical foundation written for Destiny in 2011 and 2012 by Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori, and none other than Sir Paul McCartney, who wrote some of the main motifs for it and wrote the song at the end! Bungie declined to use it for a while due to drama with Martin O'Donnell, but they recently brought it back for The Final Shape expansion, where it played several times, such as in the final celebration cutscene in the Tower.

I worked on this for over a year and I'd love for you to check it out. It's available on all streaming platforms, as well on Bandcamp to buy digitally and as a physical CD.

Halo: Combat Evolved - What Once Was Lost

[shabolt]

I love looking at how various movies and shows are scored. The way music can absolutely elevate a decent scene to an even stronger state, by just using itself as a vehicle to further the subtext of a moment is really amazing.

But ISTG when a scene features a critical moment where the actions within are being being backed by an orchestral revamp of the media’s main theme

I ABSOLUTELY LOSE IT! It’s like my media criticism brain just reverts to a lizard state. It is just such a guilty pleasure way of creating an insane amount of synergy between the auditory and the visual.

A piece of music that does this perfectly, is ‘Journey’ by Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, and performed by the Chronos Quartet. This piece is featured in Destiny 2’s original story. Wherein you first hear it as you are fleeing your city, your home. You are a godlike being that had their powers stricken from you by mortals who were stronger, and now all you have left is your guide, and a dream given to you by your deity.

The music creeps around in the background as you journey through the wartorn streets and icy mountains as you search desperately for any point of refuge.

But later, you have found new allies, rebuilt your power and risen from the ashes. And you march to take back your city

AND BAM, FULL ORCHESTRAL REPRISE OF JOURNEY JUST HITS YOU WITH EVERYTHING IT HAS

The music punctuates your journey so insanely perfectly, you feel it all just wash down upon you like a waterfall breaking loose of a dam.

Music is a powerful thing, and using music in a way where it grows alongside your story is an evergreen concept

The Last City - Northwest Sinfonia & Choir [Destiny 2 (Original Soundtrack)]

Dang, this is kinda funny. I didn’t even get back into Halo until, like, late March. In all fairness though, Halo music is always great.

Don’t know how Les Champs-Elysées got 4th though. Great song, but no way I listened to it more than 1484 other songs. How dare the damn French take my #4 instead of something else from ODST.

Then there’s also my top songs playlist for anyone curious
