Icy Tower soundtrack
Anders Svensson is the composer Wikipedia credits for the 2001 game. He is also one of the two developers named on the 2026 Steam page, with Johan Peitz. This page points at legal places to hear the music. It does not host the WAV files from the game folder.

The menu cue that left in 1.5
icy.pl’s 1.5 article says the patch replaced the sounds and the music. The menu arrangement of Man of Constant Sorrow is the piece that left. Facebook-era music took that slot. Harold’s shout changed in the same patch, from Łypydudu to Łottudu. If you remember a folk-song menu, you are remembering 1.4 or earlier, not 1.5.1 and not automatically the 2026 game.
A YouTube upload documents the old menu cue. I link it instead of embedding a full ripped album. The Vita port’s file list, which mirrors the 1.3.1 tree, names bg_meny.wav for the menu, bg_beat.wav for the climb, and good.wav among the combo shouts. Those names are evidence of what the folder contained. They are not a download.
Character beats
The 1.5 sound archive separates Disco Dave, Harold, and Jungle Jane. A short video is titled Jungle Jane’s Beat. Wild Wendy’s saloon theme arrives with that same 1.5 drop. Community posts tie Disco Dave to Stayin’ Alive. I treat that as a player memory unless a track title on a studio page says it.
2026
The Steam description and the presskit call the new score live-recorded. A community thread says the teaser’s combo fanfare sits on melodies from 1.3 and earlier. That is one community reading, so I do not upgrade it to “the soundtrack is the old MIDI.” The release teaser below is the publisher’s video. Press play to load it. The Sources section links the community discussion; it represents the participants’ interpretation.
Questions
Who wrote the music?
Anders Svensson, for the 2001 game. He co-developed the 2026 game.
Can I download the OST here?
No. Use the teaser, the store page, or a licensed upload. The game WAVs stay in the game you already installed.
