As I mentioned on reddit, I&#8217;ve spent the last few weeks traveling. But I&#8217;m now back in Seattle and finishing up the final OST volume. Here&#8217;s fine final track list:</p><ol><li><p>8bit Bowling - a song that played on the radio in the Bowling RRO room</p></li><li><p>Speed Limit 87 (Rec Rally)</p></li><li><p>Come on Down ...for 3D Charades (by Slide20xx) - I thought this was on one of the earlier OSTs, but I guess it wasn&#8217;t!</p></li><li><p>Come on Down (Cafe Lounge Mix) (Slide20xx, Emily Anderson) - this was a mix made for the Ink Spot Charades room, but we ended up going with a more &#8220;college rock&#8221; version.</p></li><li><p>Reclympics Fanfare - I got yelled at for excluding this, so here it is! This was repurposed as the NYE fanfare for 2025, so it will sound pretty familiar (although this version has some differences)</p></li><li><p>Rec Con</p></li><li><p>Invasion</p></li><li><p>Invasion (Winter Wonderland Edition)</p></li><li><p>Clearcut (Winter Wonderland Edition)</p></li><li><p>Rec Rocks</p></li><li><p>Golden Trophy (Carthage Pedantry Edition) - Carthage has been at me for 4-5 years for putting the wrong mix of the Golden Trophy on OST Vol 1. This is the exact music that played in the game. (The difference is the trumpet sound)</p></li><li><p>Dorm Room Refect 2 (Fall Groove) - this was never actually in the game, but it&#8217;s one of a crop of &#8220;dorm room&#8221; era tracks that have a similar vibe. Including it because I think the bass line is cool =]</p></li><li><p>Belltown Team - a happy memory with the team circa 2017. Recording the &#8220;Hua!&#8221; vocals for Paintball Clearcut music.</p></li><li><p>End Credits - without the Coach VO, as requested.</p></li><li><p>87 seconds of the Scoreboard Sound (by Slide20xx) - a surprisingly large number of people asked for this, so here it is!</p></li></ol><p>I&#8217;m just finishing up the artwork, and this will be on streaming services Soon(tm).</p><p>I&#8217;m also polishing up a new mix of &#8220;Grey Day&#8221;. This is a very old song of mine that some players dug up and have been requesting a proper version of. It&#8217;s also the source of my yearbook quote:<br>&#8221;We created another dimension with the span of our attention&#8221;</p><p>&#8230;which I think sums up Rec Room rather well.</p><p>I&#8217;m pretty happy with how it&#8217;s shaping up. It&#8217;s a very unusual journey for a song, as it&#8217;s now a mix of three things:</p><ul><li><p>A 20-year-old demo recording - that&#8217;s where the main vocal comes from. It&#8217;s me singing two <em>decades</em> ago!</p></li><li><p>Some new guitar I recorded at a very special recording studio - Frying Pan Studios in Australia. The cool thing is that they have one of the original EMI mixing desks from Abbey Road, previously used by The Beatles, Pink Floyd and (later) The White Stripes. So I&#8217;m hoping some of that magic rubs off on this recording!</p></li><li><p>Other new parts I created in the past ~week to replace the weakest parts of the demo (e.g., an entirely new drum track).</p></li></ul><p>So I&#8217;m basically I&#8217;m collaborating with myself ~over twenty years! Weird.</p><p>I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope at least some of you will enjoy listening to it when it comes out. I&#8217;ll get the Rec Room OST &#8220;final final&#8221; out first, then Grey Day will be next.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm working on final Rec Room OST]]></title><description><![CDATA[Got track suggestions?]]></description><link>https://gribblyhq.substack.com/p/im-working-on-final-rec-room-ost</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://gribblyhq.substack.com/p/im-working-on-final-rec-room-ost</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cameron Brown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:11:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!X1IM!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc3a22af9-79b5-4172-89a7-044b92d856bc_256x256.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well it&#8217;s been ~a week since we shut Rec Room down.

I wanted to share that the next &#8220;thing&#8221; I&#8217;ll be releasing is a Rec Room &#8220;Mixtape&#8221; - many in the community are aware of a &#8220;summer mixtape&#8221; that includes fun remixes of several RR tracks. I&#8217;ll also include some strays - RR-related tracks that haven&#8217;t yet been released for whatever reason. That will be in the next week or two!</p><p>Other than that, we continue to work on data export tools, and are actively chatting with players on Discord and Reddit. We expect to ship an update to the Steam build today - I&#8217;ll post about that on Reddit/Discord when it&#8217;s out.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
