Incredibox was created by the French studio So Far So Good and first released online in 2009 as a beatbox loop game where players drag sound icons onto animated characters. Version one, later known as Alpha, included hidden bonus tracks that played as short animated songs when specific combinations were found. This first bonus built around its choir voices became a favourite in fan recordings, YouTube mixes and soundboards, shared separately from the game because the choral hook works on its own as a short dramatic sting.
About this sound
The choir bonus loop from Incredibox V1, a short beatbox harmony sung by the animated choir characters that creators use in music edits and meme remixes.
This sound is the first bonus track from version one of Incredibox, unlocked by placing the choir characters in the right combination. It is a sustained male vocal harmony, layered and hymn-like, with several beatbox singers holding long notes together over a simple beat. The mood shifts instantly from playful loop building to something grand and slightly solemn, which is why the swell feels funny and dramatic when it appears out of nowhere. Listeners recognise the choral rise immediately, even without seeing the animated singers who perform it on screen during the bonus animation sequence.
