Disasterpeace made one of my favourite game soundtracks when he composed the music for FEZ. Since then he has been busy working on other varied soundtracks for film and game. Showing his wealth of skills as a composer.
The Hyper Light Drifter soundtrack goes back to the sound design used in FEZ but adds a little organic instrumentation to the mix. Exemplified in this solo piano piece entitled Panacea.
The piece revolves around an incomplete motif that the track continues to return to without ever concluding. Leaving the listener with a sense of anticipation and longing, a desire that is never fully resolved. The arrangement is then perfectly supplemented with its production as the piano resonates within a space that manages portray both an intimacy and a distance:
