Air on the G String from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major BWV 1068 With the release of Irrational Games‘ “BioShock Infinite,” the internet is abuzz with discussion of the game’s story and characters. Seeing as I am not quite finished with it, I’m not here to do that. I’m here to instead tell you about the music. Those who ordered the “BioShock Infinite” Premium Edition (or the Songbird Edition because Songbird statue) received early access to Garry Schyman’s “BioShock Infinite Original Soundtrack.” Schyman has been at the series’ helm since the first game, and I’m pleased to say the signature sense of panic and urgency is still present. “BioShock Infinite Original Soundtrack” bounces between three narrative tones: that of wonder, that of action, and that of solemn, mourning. The songs which best express the sheer wonder of Columbia focus primarily on period instruments and sounds. “Welcome to Columbia,” for instance, has a nice, sparse use of old piano that feels like something you’d expect to hear at closing of a carnival. It’s oddly appropriate for your opening moments in the flying city, and out of game it calls to mind the boardwalk and the sensation of exploration that accompanies you in game. Speaking of accompaniment, “The Songbird” is by the far the best of the action pieces. It begins with the eerie, rising horror strings and quickly escalates into a rhythmic percussion that perfectly expresses the tension the Songbird carries with him. In game you cannot run fast enough when this track starts and out of game, it serves as a sharp, exclamation point in the surrounding somber pieces. If I had to pick a “single” from the soundtrack, it would easily be “Elizabeth.” The piece is full of mournful, deep strings, punctuated by a light, haunting violin. It manages to bring together so many elements of the soundtrack, making for a cohesive, lynchpin to the musical narrative. There are two period pieces thrown into the mix* , the best of which is Scott Joplin‘s “Solace,” which you may remember from its prominent use in “The Sting.” The iconic ragtime piece has an appropriately mellow tone and mood for the game, and the authentic period sound fits right in. “The Readiness is All,” on the other hand, was written by Ken Levine to perfectly suit the political atmosphere of Columbia. This is one of the few tracks that, if you haven’t yet played the game, it may sound a little off-putting. Let’s just say it’s very ingrained within the game’s racial subplot. Unlike “Solace,” it’s a little bit of game you probably won’t want to listen to outside of gameplay. There are also three versions of “Will the Circle be Unbroken.” My favorite is the arranged piece featuring Maureen Murphy’s vocals. This is the hymnal version heard early in game and thematically it perfectly illustrates the haughty religious story themes. Though the extended version of Elizabeth’s “Will the Circle be Unbroken” is most likely what fans are after. The sole complaint is that, similar to “BioShock,” the soundtrack is full of multiple tracks that are a mere minute or less in length. Even when some of the accompanying scenes in game are equally short (“The Girl in the Tower,” for instance), it occasionally makes for a jarring listening experience. The “Battle for Columbia” series, for example, often end just as they are picking up. Overall, “BioShock Infinite Original Soundtrack” is some of Garry Schyman’s best work in the series. When listened to out of game, it perfectly brings to mind the story and themes, while still weaving its own narrative. In game, the music helps immerse the player in the floating world of Columbia as well as Schyman’s score enhanced Rapture. It’s the perfect way to extend your time in Columbia, but having said that, it doesn’t feel quite accessible enough to appeal to those who haven’t played the game. So much of the music invokes the sense of the game, it seems almost a disservice to listen before diving into Columbia. Sharing Widget |
