![]() ![]() Oftentimes when you’re in the vast reaches of space, it’s hard to feel anything other than isolation, and that’s on purpose. The song is designed to be your comfort food when exploring the galaxy. Timber Hearth’s banjo is easily one of the most recognizable and distinct pieces of music on the soundtrack, so it’s not a surprise that fans would resonate with it in such a powerful way. It’s always strange to see which pieces of art fans latch on to, and oftentimes it’s the one you never expect. The songs that became most popular on the soundtrack were some of my favorites, but I didn’t expect Timber Hearth to be the first to hit 2 million. It’s really cool that it turned out this way because the opening riff to Timber Hearth is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written” says Prahlow. “I was expecting it to be Travelers or Outer Wilds. This was shocking to Prahlow, but he was extremely grateful that fans found solace in his favorite piece. Currently, it sits a little over 2 million streams on Spotify, which is a huge achievement in itself. Timber Hearth is currently the most played song off of the Outer Wilds soundtrack. It gives you a place that feels like home.” “It ended up being really important to have a core idea of relaxation to preface the main theme. Though the ‘Outer Wilds’ riff shapes the entire score and the main title, gameplay-wise the music starts with Timber Hearth. When asked about this challenge, Prahlow had this to say. Developing music for a game that is as open-ended as Outer Wilds can be challenging. One of those pieces is the music, and we were lucky enough to sit down with Andrew Prahlow, the BAFTA-nominated Composer for the Outer Wilds. Often when explaining the game to someone, I tell them it’s “Like a beautifully crafted Swiss watch, each piece unique on its own, but working in tandem creates something marvelous”. 2019’s sleeper hit Outer Wilds, developed by Mobius Digital was lauded with multiple game of the year awards and praise. ![]()
