Halo Infinite | Set a Fire in Your Heart – Official Soundtrack
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Very good blend between old and new, music is very important in Halo and this seems like a return to the old days. Just hope they do some tweaks to the assault rifle sound.
It's going to be amazing !
And the last notes reminded me Ori so much.
I loved the Halo iconic theme with the drums we can hear in the 1 minute trailer too.

I feel ya. I personally enjoyed having such different takes on Halo music in 4 and 5. 4s music in particular was a great fit for that story.
It sounds more like Halo, but the new stuff in this track has a forgettable movie OST quality to it, the same issue 5 had. The only memorable stuff we've heard so far is just Marty's stuff reworked and that worries me a bit.
I love the Ori games and Gareth, he's going to be a fantastic addition
BUT I want to say:
E3 2019 (I assume scored by the Starbound composer) was quintessential Halo music, dizzying orchestral highs, subtle militaristic notes, it was like a giant Marty tribute.
Very anxious/excited to see how both of them work together.

Yeah nothing really bad to say about Halo music. Still listen to it sometimes.
Blue team is amazing
Ah, but the track used in the mission "Blue Team" is even better ;)
This could be Jinnouchi, I'm pretty sure he did some tracks before leaving.
Hot damn this gave me Halo feels. And contributions from Coker? This will be a fantastic soundtrack.
Can't wait to hear some of the tracks that sound "different" from tradition Halo music. Reach, ODST, 4, and 5 delivered some goodies in that regard.
Jinnouchi was fantastic and I think did his job for that flavour of Halo.
Dont remember liking a single thing Davidge did, love Massive Attack tho!
One thing absolutely essential is that Halo needs those long droning ambience tracks that build tension/wonder, and both of those composers didnt do that. Whether it was down to music supervision or not.
Oh I didn't realize this had its own thread, I had commented on it elsewhere.
It's a great sounding track but of course leaning heavily on existing halo motifs. I'm much more interested in the original music the game will have. That's what will make or break the soundtrack. They can reinterpret existing Halo music well, but can they make some entirely fresh melodies that feel like they fit right in alongside these classic sounds? That's the real test, to add to the toybox rather than just playing in it. Hope to hear more soon!
I thought Halo 4 had really good music. While it wasn't going for the same intent as this music (it wasn't trying to fit in with classic Halo) it had some really fresh stuff that I found memorable. Strong style that is really underrated (probably because it was such a departure from stylistic expectations).
Unfortunately I can't really recall Halo 5's music too well. It didn't really stand out to me beyond a track or two, I'm going to need to give it another listen.

I think they nailed the music and gameplay pretty well. Both scream Halo to me, which I loved about the demo. Other things may have been underwhelming, but definitely not music.
This track is SO GOOD. Not gonna lie, the speech dragged a bit in my first viewing but the track made me come back again and again. Can't get enough of the Brute's rambling either at this point haha, that shit is hype!
Prepare to get your heartstrings pulled! His work on Ori is phenomenal.
Love all Halo OSTs and 4 and 5 are no exceptions. So much good stuff in those games (see some examples posted above). However, the mixing isn't always ideal unfortunately, so some tracks don't really get to shine in-game.
Thanks everyone. As I mention in the interview we're exploring both old and new and this is really a tiny indicator of it. Production on the music is ongoing, we are lucky to not have been affected by covid-19 too much as several studios / recording session orchestras including the ones we use have been able to figure out socially distant recording and the engineering required to capture it.
Knowing what's in the pipeline I'm pretty confident that people will be happy with the blend of old/new on the final soundtrack when the game's released. It's tough to capture everything we've done in one interview and one track but it's a lot of music between Curtis, Joel and myself!

Off to an excellent start. Definitely one of the most beautiful tracks I've heard since Halo 3's final Warthog run, possibly Overture from Reach.
Sounds great, I'm excited to hear more of the new stuff! So far so good! Thanks for popping in.
cmf+f marty > Zero results. That's a shame.
The track is great though.
You are the man, saw your name announced for the production and I flipped.
Excited to hear what you guys have been putting together. Your Ori stuff is wonderful. Congrats on getting the role.
