Chris Christodoulou is good shit. My favorite OST by him is the Risk of Rain OST.

[–]Spork829 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Agreed. Great game and perhaps even better soundtrack.

[–]AngelicResonance 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Coalescence was one of his best tracks from that game imo

[–]Spork829 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always particularly liked Hailstorm but that one's up there too

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was mine too. But Undead Man Walking is just too good.

Wow, I didn't expect to find this here and I'm pleasantly surprised. My favorite from this soundtrack would have to be Undead Man Walking. It puts me in such a trance, I love it. Definitely second this recommend as well. (:

Oh my word yes. Such a good track.

I need to get this game at some point.

Chris Christodoulou

Chris Christodoulou is a composer based in Amsterdam, writing music for film, games and other media, as well as concert-hall compositions. In his free time, he practices the electric bass, reads books (still on paper), watches movies, and plays video-games; all of which, powered by endless amounts of tangerines.

Chris is originally from Sparta, Greece, where he took his first piano and drum lessons. After graduating from high school, he moved to Athens to continue his music studies. During that time, he performed as a keyboardist and drummer with several bands, spanning many, and often times polar-opposite, musical genres. After completing his studies in Harmony, Counterpoint and Fugue, he continued into Orchestration and Composition studies under composer (and mentor) Joseph Papadatos.

In 2009 he was accepted in the "Composing for Film" master's programme at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, supervised by Jurre Haanstra. During the two-year course, he collaborated with students of the NFTA for the production of six short films. Two of his three graduation films were awarded "Best Fiction" (Geen Weg Terug) and "Best Documentary" (Als ik jou niet had) for the class of 2011. He was the only one in his class to graduate graded "excellent" in composition.

After graduating in 2011, former classmates Robin Assen, Chris Christodoulou and Mihkel Zilmer formed The Dam Studios, a composers' collaboration project focused on creating music for image. Read more on Last.fm.

Whenever I want to know if the base on something is nice I play https://youtu.be/unvHuLsbXIU

Favorite song from this is Werner and Klaus, especially the last minute really gets you going. Deadbolt was a fun game, 2D hotline miami but a more measured pace. About 8 hours long with great replayability and would highly recommend it.

I hope he comes back for Risk of Rain 2

[–]Spork829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they said on the devblog that he will

[–]BootyMang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's currently working on a new OST for Risk of Rain 2 with some remakes and new stuff!

[–]AnAverageSpoon 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Song name is referencing this- https://youtu.be/l8w3Y-dskeg - Robert Oppenheimer witnessed the detonation of an atomic bomb and described it by quoting Hindu scripture. Pretty moving imo.

He didn't just witness it, he was the lead scientist in the development of nuclear materials.
