Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[Zgroktar]

Really don't know what to say to you at this point, we are not on the same wavelength I think, but I will state that I don't need to be telling myself that it will ''serve its purpose'' to like it. I've loved this song from the moment I've heard it, and must have replayed it a countless times. There is just some eerie quality about it.

It's dissonant and it's got minor seconds and contrabassoons and an opera voice, of course it's gonna sound creepy.

But to me it sounds a bit cheap. It sounds like the composer made a list of things that sound creepy and just mashed them together into a song.

EDIT: I agree with all points made by Bridge. But I disagree with his non-idealization of Mikko Tarmia. Mikko Tarmia is a god and his soundtracks are like manna from the heavens. Except for the Overgrowth one.

No, that doesn't have to do anything with deliberately choosing fitting chords or anything like that. I've heard a lot of creepy music in my life, but nothing like this one.

Considering Mikko, He really did managed to write some enchanting, tranquil tracks which felt very rich and deep, but not so much in Penumbra. It was, well calling it crap would be going too far, but I've played Penumbra twice and still can't remember any track in particular.
