June 10, 2013 : Robotical’s Soundtrack
I made sure Robotical had a lot of music throughout the short; and not only did I want the music to sufficiently match (and add to) the mood, I also wanted a variety of the types of music. The end result was music that I am very pleased with.
I created an mp3 that plays the music as it is heard throughout the short, and it is embedded below. Bare in mind that the file is nearly seven minutes long.

Just know that it makes more sense if you’ve seen the short. As expected, many of the tracks were edited in Post to better match the flow the accompanying animation. As such, I replaced some of those tracks with the full recorded version for everybody’s enjoyment.
By the way, if you stomach through the file, you will also get a chance to hear yours truly singing. I guarantee it won’t make any sense and will leave you utterly confused without seeing the short, but it’s still a cool song that I am proud of.
