Just wanted to say that the composer(s) did a great job. It really gets the blood pumping and makes the event a lot cooler than it already would be without the music.

I also love the well-done transition to a different and more epic track when you get onto the platforms. All in all a great job from the audio department!

Definitely EPIC music, till now all the music in gw2 was really good but it was lacking that epic feeling to it, this one sure give refreshing kick to the face(by colossal robot).

…So…

…when can we expect it to be released on soundcloud?

Our very own Maclaine Diemer composed the two pieces used in the Marionette fight. They should be up on the ArenaNet soundcloud page in a few days.

Excellent job to the entire audio team! Beautiful work, Keenan and Maclaine!

Two absolutely KILLER elements of this music is (1) the transition from the already epic out-of-the-arena music to the even more epic in-the-arena music (reminiscent of Twilight Princess) and (2) the chilling clockwork sounds that are repeated throughout the song. It gives me goose bumps. Not to mention the inclusion of the Guild Wars 2 theme.

PLEASE keep the clockwork theme in the music of these last few chapters!

My favourite (not super adventure-styled) music since the labyrinthine cliffs. The whole thing gets me in the epic event mood, but the GW2 ident while you’re in the arena really made me grin and think “… this is so cool”.

Everyone involved has really done just a great job.

ANET seems to be doing quite fine without Jeremy Soule.

Lost Shores theme, Zephyr Sanctum, Wintersday, Tower of Nightmares theme, and now this… I am honestly impressed by the recent works of amazing composers like Stan LePard and Maclaine Diemer.

Keep at it, Team ANET. I’d say your new composers are even better than Jeremy Soule!

I concur. I’ve only heard the new music twice now, but it’s awesomely fitting. Kudos to Maclaine for his awesome skills! (You haven’t quite managed to knock “Sunny Glade” off its perch yet though. )

Maclaine, LePard, Soule… All have produced wonderful music for gw2.
Many, many thanks to the people providing the time, and money necessary
to provide a superb, integrated musical experience here.

In many other games, it’s a terrible letdown to encounter partially
orchestrated, lower quality elevator quality music. Thanks for
continuing to realize the importance of excellent music in
this game.

To add to everyone else’s comments, the Marionette music is great! Am I right in saying there’s a small bit of the main GW theme in there when you’re fighting the champions in the rings? Love it either way

It’s up on their soundcloud now. Thing is… I think they meant part 2 to be the arena music part. They both sound the same to me.

Yeah, that was an upload error on Maclaine’s part. XD It’s fixed now, although the two files are still named the same.

Its even more epic when i can hear all of the details of this tracks.

Once again, GREAT work Maclaine Diemer and Anet in general for makeing this epic music.

p.s. Make more music that have this “This is it!!!”/“Last stand” feeling in them, just like this one, in the future, please!!!

Hoooly….

I have a custom Battle track list for GW2. I never hear these new tracks, even though i assume they should be in the BossBattle category. (not like i hear the actual ingame BossBattle themes, only silence or the common custom battle tracks).

But for these tracks, i would disable any custom track list. Too bad the rest of the games battle (not bossbattle) tracks feel so boring.

Both of the tracks are really amazing, especially the one inside the arenas.

Hell yes! You can really feel the urgency and (as many have said) epicness the music brings to this fight. Is now on my mp3 player and makes me feel like a hero listening to it while washing the dishes.

Soooo glad you put this on your soundcloud. I love it <3

Have to say I was originally a bit worried when Jeremy Soule stepped away from GW2, but I’ve been consistently impressed with the in-house musicians at Anet throughout the Living World and holiday releases. The marionette battle music beats my previous favourite (Sanctum Sprint music). You guys are doing some amazing work and I love it. Don’t stop!

To be honest, I never had a good chance to listen to them. Too much clattering of weapons on steel around me to actually hear the music. Yay for soundcloud

Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!
