Music

"Hello Stacking/Doublefine Fans! Here is the complete soundtrack list from Stacking. I’ve included (below) a few notes that should give further insight to our wonderful score.  Stacking contains nearly all live acoustic instruments and live players for its score.  This was an ambitious and challenging music direction for a downloadable game.  But the payoff was certainly well worth it as the music richly envelops the already lush and magical world of Stacking.  Enjoy!"

- Brian Min, Lead Sound Designer/Music Director for Stacking.

Opening Titles
"Peter had the daunting task of emulating some of the greatest works of music in history! Wonderful live performances!"
 * Chopin’s Mazurka Bb Major Op7N1 ("Charlie’s Theme")
 * Opening Cutscene – Peter McConnell

Train Station
"Many of the pieces in Stacking have been digitally edited and processed to create a seamless custom score like feel. Modern audio tools really came in handy, such as convolution reverbs, to 'virtually' place many recordings that were tracked elsewhere, into the same 'space'."

 * Chopin’s Polonasie C Minor Op40N2 (these pieces reoccur on other levels)
 * Chopin’s Sonata Grave Op35 (these pieces reoccur on other levels)

 * Vivaldi's Four Seasons Movement 2, Winter
 * Vivaldi's Concerto for Strings in G Major Presto

Zeppelin
"The big fanfare plays during the reveal of the Dog Race Tracks and I think this Brahms’ piece is just SO appropriate."
 * Brahms' Academic Festival Overture ("Dog Race", "Ambassor Themes")
 * Mozart’s Menuetto 5 K334 ("Dinner Party")
 * Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 ("Zeppelin Crashing")
 * Zeppellin in-game music – Peter McConnell

Baron’s Theme / Triple Decker / Final Challenge
"You hear this piece the very first time when you meet the Baron and it really sets up nicely foreshadowing the subsequent tension you feel in the Triple Decker and the Final Challenge. Despite Chopin being 'centerstage' in the beginning of the game, it’s really this concerto that carries and finishes the game.  The depth of this Mendelssohn piece really shines as it was used to vilify the Baron while at the same time used to scored the tender reunion between Charlie and his Mom.  This is one of my all time favorite concertos, which is why it’s in the game!"
 * Felix Mendelssohn’s Concerto for Violin and Piano
