#sh2 ost

This is genuinely so funny. Just talked to someone today about how great and unnerving the sound design is. Sometimes I just feel like listening to some broken piston-washing machine weird sound thingy.

Round 1, Side B: Silent Hill 2 (2001) vs Fire Emblem: Awakening (2012)

Silent Hill | Fire Emblem

Campaigns under the cut!

Campaign for Silent Hill:

Akira Yamaoka makes such excellent use of samples throughout the soundtrack to the point where you would have never even known he did unless you listen in very closely. We got some of the most iconic tracks like the Day of Night, Promise (Reprise) or Null Moon on the track listing. Not all the soundtracks are haunting and mellow, sometimes it's broken up by absolutely dreadful tracks like Ashes and Ghost with its suspenseful fast paced drum beats and an eerie absence of instruments otherwise. Listen I think the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack overall has just done more for us as a society and is just more iconic. Silent Hill 2 SWEEP

Campaign for Fire Emblem:

Don't Speak Her Name is incredible even as a standalone composition, but it's truly fucking magical as an example of video game music. There's other pieces in the OST obviously but I've been obsessed with Don't Speak Her Name for about a decade now. Some context: FE Awakening (aka FE13) is a turn based JRPG, and in terms of combat music, there's two tracks for most pieces - one that plays when you're zoomed out and seeing the chess-like overview of the map, and an embellished version that is seamlessly transitioned into and out of when your units make an attack and the camera zooms in on them. (It's a little hard to explain in words, so if you're curious you can look up a gameplay video.) There's also a third track that plays whenever it's the enemy's turn. Story spoilers here on out! The ruling queen of the kingdom you're fighting for is taken hostage by the enemy kingdom, whose king demands the Fire Emblem (important macguffin) in exchange for her. The queen instead jumps off a cliff, becoming a martyr to both her kingdom and the enemy kingdom. In the fight afterwards, Don't Speak Her Name is the track that plays for the entire fight - while you're zoomed out, while you're zoomed in, and even on the enemy's turn, because the enemy is just as reluctant to fight as you are. The title of the track comes from the protagonist of the game, the queen's brother, who is furious at the enemy commander for talking about his sister. I can't do the moment justice by just describing it - Don't Speak Her Name is so fucking good in and of itself, but I also think it's a superb example of the narrative power music can wield AND an example of the unique way games, as an interactive medium, can exploit the intersection of mechanical-musical structure to enhance their narratives. FE13 sets up the expectation of out-of-combat + in-combat + enemy turn tracks, so when Don't Speak Her Name breaks that expectation it communicates something. So so cool.

My ass is still so stuck on Silent Hill Hux. He's soooo "There was a hole here. It's gone now."

This video brings back so many memories of my BW phase from I think 2021 or 2022. Even listening to the tracks I didn’t hear makes me reminisce of that phase. I remember during this time it was rainy and cloudy, so this makes me love gloomy weather even more.

During this phase, I had watched the first Silent Hill movie. So, I feel nostalgic for the movie as well (as well as the second one).

Tbh Breadwinners and Silent Hill are two things I’d never thought would be in the same place in my brain and would make an AU for.
