“The Prison” reflects a melancholy frustration in the character through minor chords, sparse tinkles of the piano and glitches of droid voices all bathed in reverb and synthetic washes. Machinarium Soundtrack Bonus EP (Free DWNLD) by Tomáš Dvořák Clattering percussion and robotic bleeps are offset by Dvořák’s trademark clarinet and plush pads, evolving what could be soulless automata into an emotional, organic composition. Two thirds into the track, the beat fades away leaving an incredibly warm synth wash and filtered pianos.Įach piece lends itself to the image that a mechanised band in the Machinarium world is playing the music to you. “The Bottom” opens the soundtrack with the tone for the whole album with its textured percussion, layers of plush bells, quirky synths and mellow harpsichords. BodyĮach track is named after the scene it accompanies in the game. The game set in world of quirky robots and mechanical cities, juxtaposed with an entirely human love story containing a level of passion and detail that oozes through every screen, perhaps only ever surpassed by the soundtrack. That’s quite a testament to composer Tomáš Dvořák and his ability to create unique emotionally engaging soundscapes. Eight years later, I find myself listening to this masterpiece soundtrack regularly and enjoying it more each time. Machinarium was a award winning game developed by Animata Design released back in 2009.
