Have you watched any Kurzgesagt videos lately? Yes? Have you fallen in love with their beautiful display of infographics? Yes? Then just prepare yourself for their music:
- The soundtrack
for the "Black Holes Explained" video has a great "epic" theme to it that you don't usually ("usually" being the key word here) see in Kurzgesagt's other videos. - The music for the Neutron Star video is incredibly relaxing and worth listening to for its introduction alone.
- If the Optimistic Nihilism video doesn't restore your faith in life, humanity, and the Universe itself, then its soundtrack (aptly described by one YouTube commenter as "Ultimate prog vaper synth wave mixed with butter chicken sauce and abstract eyes watching me write this comment down") will.
- The music for the "Is War Over?" video might just cheer you up more than the video itself, as it uses instruments such as flutes, trumpets, and guitars and switches between somber and cheerful tunes in surprisingly clever ways.
- The music for the video on quantum computers integrates 8-bit sounds into instrumental music and even into a chorus at one point.
- The music used in the "What Is Something?" video might just be more beautiful than the video's art itself, and that's saying a lot.
- The track for the Dyson Sphere episode, an 8-bit inspired piece that gives the feeling of the crazy sci-fi of epic proportions found in the video.
- The music for "What If We Nuke a City?" does a wonderful job bringing across the horror of a direct nuclear strike, especially once the Drone of Dread kicks in around the 2 minute mark.
- The soundtrack for the Stellar Engine video, having a similar topic to the Dyson Sphere video (a stellar megastructure) hearkens to that video's epic tone. Even better, at 5:25 in the video, the Dyson Sphere is brought in to support the Stellar Engine, and the Dyson Sphere's Leitmotif from its own video occurs in the music, giving a musical nod to the cooperation between the two megastructures!
- The soundtrack for The Largest Star in the Universe grows increasingly bombastic as bigger and bigger stars appear, complete with vocals that turn into Ominous Latin Chanting as we reach the Hypergiant Phase and truly colossal stars.
- The music for the video on weaver ants starts off relaxing and quiet, and slowly grows into a bombastic, driving theme incorporating flutes and booming drums, perfect for the sprawling kingdoms of the ants. It then takes a turn for the sinister around when the big battle in the episode happens, before turning into an energetic battle theme. At the end, it becomes somber, highlighting the thousands of dead ants from the war and the fact that their battle will never truly end.
- "Nuke the Moon"'s soundtrack begins with a knell and features electronic music, upright bells, and a prominent organ. It manages to be upbeat in some places and dire in others. Around the 2:30 mark, the same ominous hums from the "Nuke a City" track are referenced.
- "The Largest Black Hole" is similar in style to the track for the "Largest Star" video, but because the video covers the largest objects in the universe (thousands, millions, billions of solar masses), every aspect of it is cranked up, like the slower buildup, deeper bass chords, and even more extravagant Ominous Latin Chanting.
- The soundtrack for Supervolcanoes combines a lot of great genres, but the highlight is the epic combination of electronic music and badass Heavy Metal/Industrial Metal parts.
- The Kardashev Scale's soundtrack has somewhat of an alien-ish feel, fitting with the video.
