List of music |
Celeste B-Sides is the official release of the soundtrack from Celeste's B-Sides and C-Sides. It is mastered by Lena Raine, and based off the A-Side music she wrote, but is otherwise remixed and performed by various other artists: Maxo, composer of Chordslayer, Ben Prunty, composer of FTL, Christa Lee, composer of Welcome to the Fantasy Zone, in love with a ghost, composer of Healing, 2 Mello, composer of Read-Only Memories, Jukio Kallio, composer of Nuclear Throne, Kuraine, composer of Singularity, and Matthewせいじ (pronounced Matthew Seiji), composer of Opus Magnum.
It is available on a variety of platforms, notably on Bandcamp (where 24-bit FLACs may be downloaded), but also on iTunes, most digital download stores and most digital streaming services.
All B-Side soundtracks are included within this album; however, Cassette Tape 8-bit remixes featured at the end of every B-Side is instead included in the Madeline's Grab Bag album, which is offered for free on Bandcamp. The A-Sides have their soundtrack in the Celeste OST album, whilst Farewell's soundtrack is included in a different album, Celeste: Farewell OST. In addition to the B-Sides soundtrack, a development version of Forsaken City's soundtrack is included as "Area 1 Demo".
Note: The following sections contain spoilers for Celeste, up to Chapter 8: Core and all of the B-Sides. It is also a work in progress. Please read at your own risk. Celeste Wiki is not responsible for any unwanted spoilers of Celeste that you may encounter.

First Steps (Sever the Skyline Mix)
Resurrections (Black Moonrise Mix)
Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix)
Golden Ridge (Golden Feather Mix)
Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix)
Reflection (Center of the Earth Mix)
Center of the Earth is the song playing in the B-Side of Reflection. It's a slower and much darker take on Confronting Myself, possibly representing a possible alternate scenario where Badeline did drag Madeline and herself down to the Center of the Earth. A modified version of Confronting Myself's distinct "Heyya" voice lines are present, as well as a few parts of said song's melody, but references to Confronting Myself are scarce here, and the glitching effect present in the later half of Confronting Myself is entirely absent in Center of the Earth.
Summit (No More Running Mix)
No More Running is the song playing in the B-Side of Summit. It is a more serious remix of Reach for the Summit, representing the difficulty and seriousness of the B-Sides compared to the A-Sides. At 3 minutes and 43 seconds into the song, a voice-like synth appears, breaking up the mostly repetitive melody before this point and becoming one of the main instruments of the song.
No More Running is the longest B-Side track in the game, at 8 minutes and 37 seconds, representing the length of the longest B-Side in the game. It is also the only song in the B-Sides to be entirely composed by Lena Raine herself, under a pseudonym used for some of her songs and albums.
The Core (Say Goodbye Mix)
Say Goodbye is the song playing in the B-Side of Core. It's a much slower, calmer, and quieter version of Heart of the Mountain, serving as a contrast to the difficult gameplay of 8B itself. As the song progresses, it builds up significantly, leading to Say Goodbye's version of Heart of the Mountain's melody.
(Bonus) Area 1 Demo
The Area 1 Demo is an short, upbeat, and fast-paced song originally intended to be in the place of First Steps. It was (probably) scrapped due to its tone not matching up with Celeste and its first level. It is by far the shortest track in the album, at 1 minute and 13 seconds, which is a little under half of the next shortest track, Sever the Skyline.
Trivia
- Despite "Area 1 Demo" being the prototype version of First Steps, it's listed under the B-Sides soundtrack for odd reasons.
- The text for Matthewせいじ is pre-rendered as a PNG file instead of loaded using a font. This is because Celeste does not render Japanese fonts whilst playing in languages other than Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
- This also explains why the entire string of text is rendered in a different font (instead of solely the Japanese hiragana).
