OST of the Day #22: Stardew Valley - Wild Horseradish Jam 🌾

in #game5 years ago (edited)


Hey Steemit!

OSTs make up the majority of the music I listen to, and they're so underrated I just had to share them! Feel free to listen while reading. 😊

Today I chose another game I've been playing a lot recently: Stardew Valley! If you've played this before, you'll know what a charming and wholesome game it is and how addictive it can be! It's probably one of my most played games in 2018, tied with BoTW at around 135 hours or so.

Anyway, if you're not familiar with this game, Stardew Valley is an indie farming simulation RPG developed by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone and originally published by Chucklefish. The game was initially released for Microsoft Windows in February 2016, with later ports being released for OS X, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita, iOS, and Android.
In Stardew Valley, the player takes the role of a character who, to get away from the hustle of an office job, takes over their deceased grandfather's dilapidated farm in a place known as Stardew Valley.

It's a simple premise, but there's so much more to the game like planting crops, raising animals, mining, and making friends with the other villagers. It's similar to games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, but I find it so much more addictive because there's always stuff to do! And now that there's a multiplayer mode, you can even play with friends! Currently, I have a multiplayer farm that I play with a friend and my own farm so I can explore things at my own time. It's definitely a good game to just chill, even though you're always racing against the clock, getting everything done within the day.

Anyway, on to the song for today!

This song is called Wild Horseradish Jam and it's from the Spring season, so it's also one of the first few songs you hear when you get past the intro cutscenes. This is easily one of my favourite songs in the game.
I like how the song just builds with more and more instruments as it goes along but the starting harmony (the plucked sequence) can be heard even with the change in melodies. The baseline is equally excellent, and contrasts well to the higher pitched sequences. All the instruments blend so well together; the woodwind melody, the light synth-like notes, the bass, and the subtle percussion consisting of triangle, tambourine and maracas.

My favourite part of the song starts at 3:03 after the clap, when there's an even deeper bass, a slightly altered melody with a higher pitch, and drum beats. It's a shame it only lasts about a minute but what a minute it is. It's a light-hearted song, but there's so much detail that goes into it, just like the game itself. 😊

The whole of Stardew Valley, including the soundtrack, was made by Eric Barone who goes by ConcernedApe, and I'm so glad it took off as well as it has and I got to play this gem of a game. He's truly talented and is really dedicated to his game; continuously working on updates despite announcing a new game that he's developing.

The Stardew community on Reddit is also very helpful and wholesome and full of nice people so if you're fed up with all the n00bs on -insert game here-, definitely check out Stardew Valley!

Thanks for reading and Happy farming! 😄
