Author Topic: Music To Build To - The Official Unofficial Blockland OST (Suggest Stuff!)  (Read 1470 times)

I like to listen to music while playing Blockland. I'm sure you guys do too.

That's why I'm releasing my playlist, Music To Build To - The Official Unofficial Blockland OST. Give it a listen!

I'm also taking suggestions for music to add to this playlist. Ideally I want it to be very large and full of many different music. However, there are some guidelines:

  • Music should be generally soft and easy to listen to. Nothing abrasive or too high of a tempo. Practically any metal or house music is right-out. Dubstep could be good if it's real dubstep (i.e. low tones and polyrhythms) as opposed to Skrillex "dubstep."
  • Music can come from anything, but I'd prefer music from actual albums or movie/TV show OSTs as opposed to vidya music to balance it out. The playlist right now has an abundance of video game music but that's mostly because it's stuff I know.
  • Submitted tracks should generally be high-fidelity. Fidelity is of course somewhat subjective, but if your submission is recorded off of a microphone I'm not adding it.
  • (Almost) no TF2/L4D/Valve-Game-Du-Jour voice remixes, YTPMVs, or other bullstufftery. If you find something of this nature that would otherwise fit (like this), feel free to submit it.
  • Music needs to be on Youtube (obviously so it can go in the playlist).
  • If you're still unsure what belongs in the playlist, listen to some of the songs for examples.

Link me some musics!

I already mentioned this to SegFault but I'll post it in the thread so everyone else can hear it.

You need to listen to this. It's played using a prepared piano. A prepared piano is a piano that has things like nuts, tape, bolts, ping pong balls, screws, tools, knives, plates, forks, and pretty much anything else you can think of wrapped around, set on top on top of, or wedged between the strings. I think he actually uses pager motors or something to generate a constant ambient effect in the background.

If you haven't heard a prepared piano played before you really should because it's awesome and you may never get to hear one in real life.

Nice naval shanty.

    You know what real dubstep is. I love you.

    Ones marked with a * have a higher tempo and could be considered not chill.
    Headlights - Love Song For Buddy
    Bonobo - Pick Up (Fourtet Remix)*
    Owen - Curtain Call
    Röyksopp - A Higher Place
    amfm - A Best Man (Put My Girlfriend On Fire)
    Bonobo - Kiara*
