![]() ![]() Josh also organized Songs for the Cure, an anthology of music by indie musicians that has raised thousands of dollars for cancer research. But Josh Whelchel is a impressive figure in the indie game community, having composed memorable soundtracks for Bonesaw and The Spirit Engine 2. GunGirl 2 OST – I’m going to be perfectly honest and say that this is not what I was expecting when I read “GunGirl 2 soundtrack”. Featuring music by Loscil, Gas 0095, Julien Neto, and High Skies, this album is suitably chill to go with Osmos’s serene atmosphere. Osmos OST – Hemisphere Games’ Osmos (which is now on iPad) happens to have a fantastic soundtrack that was released for free this year. ![]() Coming soon to iDevices near you, hopefully. Superbrothers: Sword&Sorcery EP I know I’ve posted this before, but man, I can’t get over this beautiful collaboration between Superbrothers, Capy Games, and musician Jim Guthrie. These days, the talented pair are working on a number of projects, including Dust: An Elysian Tale, and a high-quality remake of the Iji OST. HyperDuck Music Studios – Chris Geehan and Dan Byrne McCullough of HyperDuck Studios did the soundtrack for Daniel Remar’s Iji, and even though the game came out in 2008, I think the music deserves a special mention here (especially since it’s only recently gone up on the group’s new Bandcamp site).

Not only that, he raised $2,500 for multiple sclerosis research by selling it! Dunno if you heard about it, but Danny Baranowsky did the soundtrack for it, so I guess that makes it okay in my book. Super Meat Boy OST – This little game called Super Meat Boy got released recently. Laura is also working on Melolune, an RPG based around the concept of collecting song fragments. Zombies, composer Laura Shigihara has been given permission to put out the game’s soundtrack, which includes both English and Japanese versions of her hit song “Zombies on my Lawn”. Zombies OST – One and half years after the release of Plants vs. It really feels like it’s been a stand-out year for indie game composers, who are doing some amazing things in this community. I don’t know how it is where you are, but over here the Christmas tunes have already started creeping out of the tinsel-covered woodwork! In light of this, I thought I’d share some of the things in the world of indie game music that have brought holiday cheer to me recently. We Love Indie Game Music By: Derek Yu On: November 27th, 2010
