Since everyone's looking forward to anything PU, let's assume many of the people here would at least want, for instance, to get a taste of what the music in ths game will be like. I have added a few (just a few) pieces of music that will probably be in the game to my YouTube account. Go check:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL364095E3344D38CB&feature=plcp
While the full first volume of the álbum isn't available on bandcamp, download a few mp3 tracks by clicking HERE (http://www.last.fm/music/Hiteryan/Pok%C3%A9mon+Universe+Original+Soundtrack+Vol.+1).
Do leave your feedback on this topic or on video comments. And subscribe if you wish, for more songs will be added further.
The music is fully original. However, it has obviously adopted a composition style similar to that of original Pokémon game music composers Jun'ichi Masuda and Go Ichinose, for part of the songs. And the music utilizes some instrument sounds similar to those of the 3rd and 4th generation games, so the resemblance can be deeper, and much more Pokémon-ish!
Enjoy!
Also, in regard of anyone who'd like to compose music for the game, I will give them the same answer I've given to someone else:
"Me and Mr_Dark have very specific ideas in terms of what we want to do for this game. Perhaps about 1/3 of the soundtrack has been composed, and it follows some particular defined leitmotiffs, as well as the composition styles used by original Pokémon game composers Jun'ichi Masuda and Go Ichinose. Also, each piece of music is proccessed through the Gameboy Advance synth, which is a frustrating proccess when things go wrong for no reason, because there's a limit of 5 notes at the same time and there are specific groups of instruments that can be used for one song. I've been composing since like, September 2009, and it still messes me up sometimes.
Nothing against you in particular, you're not the first person to want to collaborate with music for the soundtrack. The only reason we never really defined that nobody else could join the job is because I always tend to think about it from my own perspective of when I discovered PU. But to avoid more situations like this I'll just set the job position as locked.
If you do want any of your music to appear in some form in the game, maybe we could do something about that, I don't know. There have been ideas such as an in-game radio or something, but we have to think that through."
ORIGINAL POST (January 25, 2010):
Yeah so I guess people would really like to know what the music's gonna sound like
Since I'm a cool guy
And you deserve it
For a freebie
Here's the full strings section of one of the cave themes of the game. Yay! ^.^

Whoever figures which song the music staff is from gets a cookie.
-
I have no clue how to read those notes. Is there a way for us to listen to it?
-
lol.. i can read it perfectly fine:
circle circle on top of line with dash.
Circle with stem circle beside a stem, circle cirle dash dot.
Upside-down cirlce stem circle cirle
:P
-
I knew I shouldn't have dropped music class in high school. :-\
-
I have no clue how to read those notes. Is there a way for us to listen to it?
The is a free-trial program called http://www.sibelius.com/ (http://www.sibelius.com/)
If you have the time, you can download it and reproduce the notes onto the bars. CHoose the instrument then listen to it.
-
I think I'll download it too sometime.
I can read the notes, but I can't get the tune to 'sound' in my head, lol
Thanks for the link ghostman!
-
I think it would be cool to have someway to put your own music on as certain themes songs, like upload my own song for when battles come up, just an idea
-
Yeah like be able to set your music for when you enter caves, or are entering a new city that is actually a pretty good idea, but I bet it would be heck for the creators
-
yeah but having Til i collapse come on in battle, thatd be sick
-
What about when you enter a forest and on comes the song Welcome to the Jungle by GNR. Now that my friends would be sick.
-
This game looks great and I can't wait until it comes out!!! But I do have some questions about it if they can be answered. Is it a third person, or first person game? Do you get to pick a starter or do you have to catch the pokemon on your own? Can you play side-by-side with your friends (I'm guessing yes as it is a MMORPG)? Are the pokemon just going to appear or will they be seen from distances and actually be "wild"? If these questions are answered that would be a great help. Thank you
You can't quote me on this, but from what I've been reading...
It's a third person game.
You get a starter. You can check out the starters from this: http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php?action=announcement;aid=2 (http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php?action=announcement;aid=2) thread.
I'm not sure how the pokemon will appear. I assume you'll get them like you do in the games... but I can't be sure.
-
Back on topic please!
Sitenote; You have to encounter the pokemons (not starters) in the tall grass ingame.
-
Well. Regarding the custom soundtracks, everyone is obviously able to just mute the game sound and play whatever they want while they're playing the game. This is likely to happen with a few games, for instance, PWO in my opinion, which I got to play a couple of times and the music was just plain...what? :-[ No offense really but that was just plain weak. They were very weak remixes from a few Red/Blue musics.
The music in Pokémon Universe consists of an entirely new and original soundtrack, carefully composed and proccessed in a way that will fit the game and sound just as "Pokémon" as any other original gameboy/DS main series Pokémon game. Everyone who digs the games' music, especially from Ruby/Sapphire, will be pleased with this soundtrack. ^.^
But then again everyone's free to do what they want when playing the game.
-
I'm looking forward to hear them! I loved all of the different songs in the game, well, not exactly all to be honest, but most of them, especially the remixes. Hearing the new processed ones should be awesome!
I don't understand how people keep on asking if they can put their own music track when they can listen to their music through their computer (eg. media player, or you tube). ::)
-
sounds awesome but you need something a bit faster man.
-
Ok I'm not gonna be an asshole and I know you guys wanna listen to something lol.
So I've had this on YouTube and MySpace for a long time and some of you have already listened to it, but many new people around here haven't.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8gBByTisP0
The background music in this video is just one of the route themes from the game. If you've played Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald this will sound very familiar in terms of composition style.
Let me know what you guys think. :)
-
Sounds just like it's from a pokemon game. Good going.
-
wow its amazing how it sound like it was ripped straight from a pokemon game
-
For a cave, this sounds good. I was thinking for the first measures of the 4/4, it could be doubled, or surrounded with a repeat bar; starting with the original chord, and slowly adding in the different instrumental parts until the main cave theme is formed, ending in a dissonant chord that sforzandos to a fermata, and then go on with the main theme that can be repeated. (Was looking at the top piece.) HOWEVER, that follows my writing pattern, and could be a little to complex for the mood you're trying to achieve. I may be in the mindset of a theatre production instead of pixels. xD It sounds wonderful, as is. It has a profound sense complicated simplicity, if that makes ANY sense. It really painted a picture for me.
The second piece is just...awesomesauce. I don't think it could be ANY closer to the original melody without being copyright infringement. XD Basically, you did an awesome job. Keep up the good work!
-
LOL Tymid. Are you into music theory more than I am? XD I never had any music or theory lessons, I just kind of go and compose stuff using my own knowledge and experience so in terms of technical terms and mumbo jumbo you probably are way better than where I stand ;D
But I'm the kind of person who finds that the most I understand things, the less amusing they seem.
Just because of that I might let you have a peek on the actual music. As far as the second one goes, the melody is completely original. I just made it in triplets, used a recurring motiff from the original Pokémon theme for the intro bit and (as I've said a billion times) proccessed the midi through the gameboy advance synth. All that combined just makes it sound like a song ripped off an original game :b
-
Really? I'd love to see more of the original manuscript. You're a fantastic writer, so there's not much I can add except for some smoother phrase transitioning and such.
But since you did ask, I'm a music education major, so I am taking music theory classes. xD My ear is what I use to compose, though.
-
So many chords 0_o
let me know if you'd like something of the musical nature, for I am quite good with fruity loops ;)
-
i think they should be a way to make your own playlist soo you like a few songs but not over ones you can make the songs you like play and not the other ones, also i think they shud be a radio that plays random songs and have jokes and what happing brocasted :)

Sounds great Hiteryan. Appreciate the update.
One random question tho, I was curious to know if there was going to be different music for each building (as there is in routes, cities, and so on) as well or will all of the buildings be subject to a similar score?

Err... all I can say is that in terms of that it will generally follow the same formula of the main series games.

I couldn't listen to it, but I must say that you do a really good job in the Team. I'll be looking forward for your future 'masterpieces' ;)
-
This music is quite sexy.

I hope you don't get twisted thoughts, from Pokemon music!
-
Your music is incredible, Hitey. I've been playing violin for 4 years now, so I know some stuff about music, and it is a lot harder than it looks. Plus, you have to go through everything to make it sound like GBA music. The least I can say is wow.
-
They're actually pretty cool. I would say my favorite one at the moment is the Battle! one.
-
I agree, the battle ones are pretty amazing!
I couldn't help but to close my eyes and pretend I was playing.
I'm so excited, keep up the good work!
:D
/two thumbs up
-
i love it >.< u guys are giving it all you got, keep up the good work, the more we wait for the game the better it will be (Y)
-
Added a new piece of music.
And glad you enjoyed the battle themes. Because the ones I didn't put up are much better. :P
-
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A BUMP.
-
wow this music sounds very pokemon-ish :) congrats
-
Very cool. I am excited to listen to it in the game!
-
Nice music
-
kool music, if i might say check out songs by Keygen and Anamanaguchi
these might help if you want to make the songs alittle more fun then the original pokemon :)
-
this game is kinda nice!!
-
FOUR WORDS:
EPIC
WIN
EXCEPT
GYM
-
Good! ;)
-

-
*Grabs gled's wrist*
Pretty... Good...?
*Points, then faints*
Name that reference.
-
Cooooool Music Yep ! ... the best one is Battle!. ;D ;D ;D :o :o :)
-
Thank you for your replies :3
*unwarranted self importance*
I've been off the composing for a few months. When I get back to it I'll have some very new stuff to introduce you to. And we better start working on the main theme!
-
That is cool!
-
I love your work (and the rest of the team) and I'm sure it will be great, as always.
-
You're a pretty damn talented musician. Will we be expecting more of the rock type stuff you have on your channel in the game?
(Please say 'yes'.)
-

My favorite is the gym theme.
-

-
Thank you for all your kind feedback :)
I have massive amounts of work this month, and then exams by the end of the month. As soon as I'm done I'll try to work something out for the main theme of the game :3
I also moved this topic since this isn't news anymore.
-
Dude did you all make this yourself? Your a genious! Could you teach me some of this stuff?
-
Yep , They are rocks 8) The best From ls Battle !

Quick Suggestion:
Perhaps creating a YouTube playlist for your music would make listening easier.
At the moment, your Pokemon Universe videos are scattered between your other uploads.

I stated in one of the posts there is a playlist for my music only, where the Pokémon Universe videos are placed.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Hiteryan
Just click on the [H] Music Corner playlist and scroll down a bit.

Aha, thank you for the link.
I was talking about a Playlist for Pokemon music only.
But it's your profile, so perhaps your organizational methods differ from mine.
You've done some great work though, I really enjoyed the music. :)
-
I was talking about a Playlist for Pokemon music only.
Yes I suppose I could certainly do that when I add a considerable amount of music or when the a public beta comes out. Thanks for your feedback :)
-
Is there any way for you to edit the mix and levels of the individual tracks with the software you are using, I'm no expert but the mix sounds off and the bass seems to be overpowering the other tracks in some of the songs
-
The mixes are horribly done yes. Since I still have time I might eventually redo the whole thing and remix the songs with a new approach. Thanks for the feedback.
-
Good luck with the music but im more of a mute the game music and either put on the radio or some grooveshark.
-
Now you need just to record the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbMZHHyxOY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbMZHHyxOY)
Use free trials or find a program that record the song

No, you completely missed the point. Everything, including the music will be original.
-
I think that it should be something calm, yet fierce and soothing, but at the same time chilling if you get my point music that can be used for multiple emotions depending on the situation:) good luck
-
It's really hard to compose a song like in Nintendo DS pokemon game.
Pokemon is a big big company, and we are just 20 - 30... We need to find a lot of people to help the music composers.
-
I'd assume the game will still be released if you can't make original song's in time?
-
For those who are interested, most of the music is already finished. So no, we don't need loads more people helping. And don't worry about it holding back the release date.
-
Since I'm bored and haven't really made any new songs in almost a year or something, here's something I just put up for you guys:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv8enfXq6_M
-
To me it sounds like a Forest or a Plantation field map, but that might be because Dofus had a similar one and I'm used to it.
Here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LWKW9k1q1A&feature=BFa&list=PLC8152B4FDBA461F3&index=6
I guess it could be one of the starting towns though, but I can't imagine this in a city similar to Goldenrod etc.
Cheers, Genbor

Yes, much probably for one of the starting towns. You got that right. I got different stuff planned for urban cities planned :3
And thanks for showing me this soundrack, this sounds pretty cool.
-
Yes I used to love it. Unfortunately they changed it in Dofus 2.0 with a new soundtrack. Still, my favorite among them is Astrub City's Soundtrack.
Cheers, Genbor
-
Added a new piece:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E4MRf1LcnQ
And I haven't forgotten your request yet genbor :)
-
Oh yeah I've seen this piece 2 days after it was posted. And whenever you wish to do it is fine. :)
-
Its nice. :)
-
i loved the battle player challenge music.its awesome
-
Major update. FROM THE FUTURE!
http://www.youtube.com/user/Hiteryan?feature=mhee#p/c/364095E3344D38CB/0/MpxBcueXjTY
See you in the beta \o/
-
I subscribed to your youtube channel, they are awesome.
-
This game wouldn't be as good as it is with out you.
-
Hiteryan ftw
-
Grab 'em here while they last, in convenient mp3 format.
http://www.last.fm/music/Hiteryan/Pok%C3%A9mon+Universe+Original+Soundtrack+Vol.+1

Awesome, thanks :D
-
Wow,why is that every single of your themes sounds so epic in my ears.

Ahah. I'm flattered :b
Link repost: Download mp3 files from a few PU music tracks by clicking HERE (http://www.last.fm/music/Hiteryan/Pok%C3%A9mon+Universe+Original+Soundtrack+Vol.+1).
If you guys would like to help out, if you're gonna download the mp3 files and listen to them, it would be a great deal of help to me if you had the last.fm scrobble app or at least some mod to the application you use to listen to music that would scrobble to last.fm, so you could scrobble my tracks, making me somewhat more popular through the complex mechanisms of music listening.
Check this out regarding the scrobbler: http://www.last.fm/download
If you use foobar, grab the audioscrobble plugin somewhere.
Regarding the music, availability for download, I will split it by at least two albums (hopefully not more) so there will be volume 1 and 2. This will make it easier and faster to have the first volume ready. When the first volume is entirely available (it should be pretty much mostly done already, but it can't be made available yet due to the actual progress of the game itself), I will make it available for download on my bandcamp page. Until then, one will have to do with this :) I'll add some more stuff eventually.
-
Wow
-
*Shameless self-bump to give the impression that there are new things happening in PU by bumping the development forum*
*Double bump because some new people want updates and are not aware that there's a bunch of music available online*
Pokémon Universe Original Soundtrack Vol. 1 will much likely be released shortly after the public beta is released. Yay! :)
-
I love the music you've created man. It's unique and yet still so very Pokemon-like. Great stuff! :)
