The Sideshow Theme Show #10 – Ori & The Sound of Light

In this episode of The Sideshow Theme Show, Will and Lasse take a deep dive into the enchanting main theme of the Ori franchise, composed by Gareth Coker. We explore how this beautifully straightforward, diatonic melody captures the magic of Ori’s ethereal world—its sense of flight, wonder, and luminous adventure. Join us as we dissect the musical constructs that make this theme unforgettable, all while celebrating the creative genius of Coker, whose work with Moon Studios (Ori and the Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps) has redefined what game music can be.
