Who Composed the Escape Academy Soundtrack?
Escape Academy's music and sound design are by doseone, known for Gang Beasts, SLUDGE LIFE, Disc Room, and Enter the Gungeon. Here is what to know.
Who composed the music for Escape Academy?
doseone made the music for Escape Academy. The game's official store description credits "Music and Sound Design by the one and only doseone," and points to his prior work on Gang Beasts, SLUDGE LIFE, Disc Room and Enter the Gungeon. The soundtrack itself is credited to Doseone, and according to the release page on doseone's Bandcamp, he produced and mixed the album, with Matt "WAKE" Hettich handling mastering.
The same Bandcamp listing describes the score as "a vivid sprawling collection of the music from Escape Academy," spanning "electronic, hip hop, and hybrid classical composition," and credits the game to developer Coin Crew Games with iam8bit and Skybound Games as publishers.
What other games has doseone worked on?
The official store description lists Gang Beasts, SLUDGE LIFE, Disc Room and Enter the Gungeon alongside his name, and those are the credits the game's own page highlights. Beyond that short list, the official page does not catalogue his full discography.
Third-party music listings go wider. According to Doseone's Spotify artist page, his soundtrack releases also include Gang Beasts Original Soundtrack (2017), Enter the Gungeon (2016), Exit the Gungeon (2020), Sludge Life (2020) and Sludge Life 2 (2023), plus non-soundtrack albums such as North American Adonis and All Portrait, No Chorus.
Did doseone also handle sound design?
Yes — the official store description credits doseone with both music and sound design, so the role is confirmed at the top level. What the store text does not do is break the work down further: it doesn't itemize which effects, ambiences or stings were his versus another team member's, and no official credit list detailing that split appears in the materials at hand.
How many tracks are on the Escape Academy soundtrack?
The soundtrack runs 47 tracks, according to the store and streaming listings, which agree on the count even though they differ slightly on total runtime and on small details of track naming. The Bandcamp release is a digital album available in 24-bit/44.1kHz, priced at $7 USD or more, with unlimited streaming through the Bandcamp app; the streaming services list the same album as a 2022 release.
| Listing | Tracks | Length | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bandcamp (doseone) | 47 | Total runtime not listed | July 14, 2022 |
| Spotify | 47 | About 1 hr 15 min | 2022 |
| Apple Music | 47 | 1 hour 27 minutes | July 14, 2022 |
Where can you listen to the Escape Academy soundtrack?
You can listen outside the game: the album is sold digitally on Bandcamp and is streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. According to the Apple Music listing, the album arrived July 14, 2022 — a day after the game's July 13, 2022 release — and is marked ℗ 2022 A Purple100. The Bandcamp page carries the same July 14, 2022 release date.
Track titles are recognizable as level and story cues, from "Escape 101" and "Underground Entrance Exam" to "Tea In Tension," "Rivalry Done Right" and "HeadMaster Of Mystery II." If you want the music in context, the game's store page is where the soundtrack's role in the experience is first advertised.
