I wrote this in 2001 as a joke for a music class in undergrad. Drums were made by banging on chairs and cardboard boxes.
I recorded a bunch of performers all huddled around a single microphone in my bedroom to get the layers used in this track. I originally wrote this for an animated short video I made with some friends. This has become the unofficial second theme to World of Goo, after we used it in our second trailer. The Last of the Goo Balls and the Telescope Operator
The goal was to make a variation on Amazing Grace, in the style of those iconic western soundtracks by Ennio Morricone. This was the second track I wrote for the game. Originally written for a friend's NES game Dikki Painguin. Only the second half of this clip is used in the game. I think this was the first time I ever recorded someone singing. I had forgotten this song existed, and was glad to find it burned onto an old rotting cd-rom. I wrote this one back in high school, which makes me feel old. You can hear the same theme in the tracks Years of Work and The Last of the Goo Balls. This is the first time the "what's up there anyway" theme can be heard. Recorded some great singers from Carnegie Mellon. Happy New Year (tm) Brought to You by Product Z You can hear a clip from this track in one of my other small games Robot and the Cities Who Built Him. This became the theme for "progress" in the game. I recorded two friends singing single notes, and then I was able to play them back with my keyboard to get a "choir". Theme I wrote for a fellow student's video project. And you are a giant banana.Īlmost didn't include this one in the game, but a friend convinced me a few days before we finished. Music I wrote for a virtual reality world. Listen for a similar chord progression once the melody kicks in.Ī livelier version of Ode to the Bridge Builder.įrom a soundtrack I wrote for a friend's short film about going on a date with the devil.įrom a soundtrack I wrote for a short video made my other students at CMU. I wanted the theme of the game to somehow reflect the song Libertango by Astor Piazzolla, which was the track I used in the original Tower of Goo prototype back in school. This is the main theme of World of Goo, and the first chunk of music I wrote for the game, specifically for our first trailer.
I grew up listening to them, and they remain a big influence in everything I write.

Influences include Danny Elfman, Vangelis, Bernard Herrmann, Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, and all the big movie guys. I have an m-audio keystation 49e midi keyboard for picking out melodies. More recently, I've been using the freeware sfz soundfont sampler. For the older music, I used one of those Sound Blaster cards that let you load samples into memory. The majority of the instruments you'll hear are computer instruments, with a few live performances on top to add a bit of warmth.
#WORLD OF GOO NDS FULL#
This soundtrack includes the full versions of most of those songs, as best as I was able to recover them. I wrote much of this music specifically for the game, but many of the tracks were excerpts from music I had written previously for various small projects, or just for fun. I'm making it available here on my personal portfolio for free. This is probably as close to an "official" soundtrack I'll ever make for the game World of Goo. Thank you to everyone who emailed asking about a World of Goo Soundtrack.
