The Soundtrack

The Stardew Valley Original Soundtrack was composed by ConcernedApe (aka Eric Barone). Despite having no formal musical training, he composed all 100 (currently) songs by himself, calling the process "intuitive."

"You know, growing up, I always wanted to be a composer, but no one ever wanted to listen to my music. So, after many years of failure, I've finally discovered the secret: all I had to do was develop an entire videogame from scratch, and then you guys would finally listen to my music!" - Eric Barone, during the 2024 New York "Festival of Seasons" concert.
