Classic Music Recreations

Recreations of the Cave, Title, and Credits themes from 2008's Spelunky Classic! These specific tracks were composed by George Buzinkai and have helped Spelunky leave a lasting impact on players.

After many months of work building the skills to properly dissect the music, I reached a point where they matched the originals near-perfectly. It feels great to hear these tracks in high quality without any looping issues, but I also think it's a huge milestone in preserving these incredible compositions.

Cave was the first recreation I got started on. The middle section was the hardest to transcribe as the pulse wave goes low and mixes in with the bass, but I was able to get it done once I was isolated the bass out of the original audio.

I was able to finalize this recreation pretty quickly once I found a copy of the original string sample. There's a bass tone that's pretty hard to hear; I trial-and-error tested like 30 different OrgMaker voices but somehow missed the actual one for a long time...

Extremely close to the original, though unfortunately I dont have the clean timpani sample so it can't be totally perfect.
