This makes me think about how Jean-Michel Jarre's Calypso sounds like the most fun water level ever.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 12 points 21 hours ago

Sounds like a good game.

I dunno... According to this, Gerudo Valley should have a sitar and zurna flute, but instead the flamenco jam comes in hot with the Spanish guitar and trumpet.

Different kind of dessert.

Zitar and zurna flute for deserts with camels and sand dunes. Spanish guitar, trumpet, and I think drum rim? for deserts with cliffs and tumbleweeds.

I always got more of a middle-eastern vibe from Gerudo Valley. Their clothing has kind of a belly-dancer thing going.

Ok uh, barely related, but:

Is there an actual name for the genre of music of Half Life 2, Ep1/2, Alyx?

Its like... progressive rock but sometimes also hardrock guitar riffs, but also with ... basically 'experimental' industrial/techno usually mixed in quite well, and then also very often with essentially breakbeat drumming, and a lot of it also uses some pretty uncommon time signatures and switchups.

And then sometimes there is either classical instrumentation, or, essentially some kind of filtered or synth version of it.

... I literally fail to describe it succinctly, I don't know how, I'm not aware of anything else that really sounds consistently like it.

So, like Nine Inch Nails then. That's called just industrial.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bongos, error beeps, and the wails of the damned.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

And that instrument that makes plastic clicky noises, expertly played.
