    They did this stunt at the Olympics opening ceremony.
    Imagine Olympics float
    People have played actually burning pianos (usually old, crap ones) but getting good tunes out of the instrument is not compatible with heating the strings that much, they detune and snap. I think they just used a keyboard built into an otherwise empty piano case with some gasoline.

      Exactly what I thought when I saw this. The Celeste soundtrack is so good - I’m not good at platform games but the music kept me going. The story was great too, but I’m not sure I would’ve stuck with the game if the first steps (see what I did there?) didn’t have me humming along.

        The story deeply resonates with me :3

        And I’m also not good at precision jump and runs, it took me several hours climbing the summit, I had to assist in the core and failed utterly on farewell :(

          I didn’t finish Farewell too - in my head, I consider that optional as it was added later and has a significant difficulty bump - the devs knew that too as they gated it.

            I finished it, and my goodness, the music was perfect ! Any other composer would have made me mute the song as I failed the screen 100 times for hours, but somehow Lena’s music doesn’t get annoying after looping.

    Instead of burning the music to the CD, he burned the CD

    doseone is the most underrated producer for indie games. His “actual” music is fucking insane, as well.

    Did you, reader, play

    Enter the Gungeon

    Gang Beasts

    Escape Academy

    Disc Room

    Sludge Life

    Orbitalis

    Super Game Jam

    Heavy Bullets

    The Samurai Gunn

    If so, DOSEONE SOUNDTRACK!

    Check out his album with the late, great Alias - Less is Orchestra. It’s absolutely incredible.

      I recommend Dusk to people just for the music.

      I mean, the game is good too, but the soundtrack just goes so hard

        Verily. I don’t even play FPS games that much, but Dusk and Amid Evil are where it’s at music-wise.

    How has nobody mentioned Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain), Studio Pixel (Cave Story), Ben Prunty (FTL, Into the Breach), Christopher Larkin (Hollow Knight), or Andrew Prahlow (Outer Wilds) yet‽

    I’m also quite partial to Craig Barnes (Streets of Rogue) and A Shell in the Pit (Full Metal Furies & Chicory).
