This page lists the various music tracks and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sting%20(musical%20phrase) stingers] heard in Deadlock.  


== Overview ==
== Menu Music ==
''Deadlock's'' main musical identity since the [[Six New Heroes]] update displays elements of [[wikipedia:Trip_hop|Trip hop]], a genre popularized in the 1990s and defined as a psychedelic fusion of hip-hop and electronica, with influences from jazz and other styles.
 
== Composer ==
The music for ''Deadlock'' was composed by a member of the development team who wishes to remain anonymous for the time being. In a private email, Valve composer Mike Morasky explained that the composer will likely take credit at a future date and confirmed it was not him or "anyone else you might normally guess."<ref>2025-07-28 - [[:File:Mike Morasky Composer Email.png|Email from Mike Morasky]] - ''"it wasn't me or anyone else you might normally guess"''</ref> Morasky had also previously denied his involvement publicly on X (formerly Twitter).<ref>2024-10-23 - [https://x.com/MikeMorasky/status/1849222739900657787 Mike Morasky] on X - ''"I am not responsible for the music in deadlock"''</ref>

| Title Screen Transition
| [[File:Music hideout build 155bpm.mp3]]
| A short track that plays for about 5 seconds after leaving the title screen, transitioning into the main hideout music.

| Main Hideout Loop
| '''Base:'''<br>[[File:Music hideout play base lp 155bpm.mp3]]<br>'''FX:'''<br>[[File:Music hideout play base lp fx 155bpm.mp3]]<br>'''Low:'''<br>[[File:Music hideout play low lp 155bpm.mp3]]<br>'''High:'''<br>[[File:Music hideout play high lp 155bpm.mp3]]
| This is the main ambient music of the Hideout, designed as a dynamic track that comes from the central Play Terminal. It is composed of four distinct layers that are mixed together in real-time based on the player's actions:
* '''Proximity:''' The overall volume and intensity of the music increase as the player moves closer to the Play Terminal.
* '''Facing Direction:''' The volume of the atmospheric FX layer is loudest when the player is looking directly at the terminal.
* '''In-Menu Mix:''' When the Play Terminal menu is open, the mix changes to emphasize the 'Low' layer, with the 'Base' and 'FX' layers in the background, while the 'High' melody is muted.
* '''Inactivity:''' The music fades to a minimum background volume if the player remains idle (AFK).
