Plays during the escape in Test Chamber 21. The melody of I'm Different can be heard when knocking over turrets in one of GLaDOS's traps. | |||
* It is worth noting that the descending synth riff plays twice in the soundtrack version, once at the very beginning and again when GLaDOS opens up panels to reveal the final test chamber, with a Hard Light Bridge leading to it. However, in the game version, the riff (at the beginning and end of the album version) is only heard when GLaDOS reveals the chamber. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Robot Ghost Story}} | |||
Plays when entering the Turret factory, as the player traverses static conveyors while listening to Wheatley's [[Media:Wheatley sphere_flashlight_tour57.wav|haunting tale]]. | |||

Plays when examining the abandoned science projects left behind from Bring Your Daughter to Work Day, when GLaDOS killed all except one of Aperture's scientists with neurotoxin gas. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Almost at Fifty Percent}} | |||
The track starts with ambient synths and distant water-drop-like sounds, slowly becoming more electronic as the player cuts the [[Neurotoxin|Neurotoxin Generator]]'s tubes. The second part of the song is a heavy, fast-paced electronic track. This plays as the generator collapses and Wheatley urges the protagonist to enter the control room and ride the exposed tube to the [[Central AI Chamber]]. The song ends with a suction sound, as Wheatley and the player are sucked into the tube. The beginning can be heard briefly at the start of Don't Do It, as well as the and of Caroline Deleted and the beginning of Cara Mia Addio. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Dont Do It}} | |||
Plays when Chell enters GLaDOS' chamber for a second time and is required to press the Stalemate Resolution Button. This song is remixed in The Part Where He Kills You, Bombs For Throwing at You, and Your Precious Moon. The first part of Almost At Fifty Percent can be heard briefly at the beginning. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|I AM NOT A MORON!}} | |||
The beginning of the song is an uneasy electronic melody with alarm-like synths that plays when the core transfer is happening. The second part, an upbeat, more heavily electronic track, plays while Wheatley is marveling over his size and newfound abilities after being transferred into GLaDOS's mainframe. The third part is an increasingly dramatic orchestral piece that plays when Wheatley betrays the protagonist, delivers his villainous monologue, puts GLaDOS into a potato battery, and the player learns of Wheatley's true purpose. The song is left hanging on a single note as the player and PotatOS plummet down the elevator shaft. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Vitrification Order}} | |||
A mighty horn track filled with dread that plays in Tartaros 9. When the player advances in the level to one of the catwalks overlooking the condemned site, the song switches to its more electronic second half. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Music of the Spheres}} | |||
Plays after entering the large vault door and the player sees the Enrichment Spheres for the first time. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|You Are Not Part of the Control Group}} | |||
Plays during the first [[Repulsion Gel]] [[Portal 2 Chapter 6 Enrichment Sphere 1|test]]. The broken chord arpeggios play when bouncing on the gel. Some of the notes in this song are featured in Robot Waiting Room 1. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Forwarding the Cause of Science}} | |||
A more electronic remix of the second half of “You Are Not Part of the Control Group” which plays during later Repulsion Gel tests. The broken chord arpeggios play when bouncing on the gel. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|PotatOS Lament}} | |||
Plays on the main menu after the player has fallen into Old Aperture, from chapters 6-7. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|The Reunion}} | |||
Plays during the Propulsion Gel tests after reuniting with PotatOS. This track is an extremely electronic, distorted remix of You Are Not Part of the Control Group. Unlike Forwarding The Cause of Science, this remix maintains the tempo of You Are Not Part of the Control Group, as it is not sped up in any way. The stuttering synth arpeggios play when speeding on the Propulsion Gel. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Music of the Spheres 2 (Incendiary Lemons)}} | |||
Plays when entering Pump Station Gamma and during Cave Johnson's lemon rant. It is a heavier, more electronic remix of the second part of Music of the Spheres, with distorted, buzzing synths. | |||

{{Track|inalbum=true|Reconstructing More Science}} | |||
Plays during the Portal 2 official teaser trailer. The percussion loop from this song can be heard in Caroline Deleted. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Wheatley Science}} | |||
Plays during some of Wheatley's tests in Chapter 8. This song is remixed in The Part Where He Kills You, which, in turn, is remixed in Bombs For Throwing At You. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Franken Turrets}} | |||
Plays during some of Wheatley's tests in Chapter 8. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Machiavellian Bach}} | |||
A rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Little Prelude in C minor, BWV 934," but transposed from the key of C minor to F minor. The first half is played on a harpsichord. The second half, which is the same melody but very electronic-sounding and played on synthesizers, only plays when the player is being launched by a Faith Plate or flinging themself with the use of an Excursion Funnel. | |||
* In the game, when the player is performing one of the aforementioned actions, the second half briefly takes the place of whichever part of the first half would be playing at the time. This is one of the many examples of how composer Mike Morasky uses procedurally generated music, or music that is generated in real time based on the player's actions. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Excursion Funnel}} | |||
Plays in Chapter 8 when the player is inside an Excursion Funnel. This is remixed in the first part of The Part Where He Kills You. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|TEST}} | |||
Plays during some of Wheatley's tests in Chapter 8. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|The Part Where He Kills You}} | |||
The first part of this song is a remix of Excursion Funnel with added percussion. This is broken by a startling synth arpeggio when the player is hurtled towards Wheatley and his "mash-y spike plates". The rest of the song is a fast-paced, electronic remix of Wheatley Science and Don't Do It. Part of this song also plays on the menu screen during Chapter 9. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Omg, What has He Done?}} | |||
Plays right before entering "Wheatley's Lair," as PotatOS remarks on the disheveled state of her facility caused by Wheatley's ignorance. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Bombs for Throwing at You}} | |||
A highly climactic track that plays during the final battle between Wheatley and the protagonist. The main melody, a remix of The Part Where He Kills You, I AM NOT A MORON!, and the second half of You Know Her, plays as Wheatley attacks the player with bombs and the player attempts to redirect them back at Wheatley. The percussive interludes play when Wheatley is stunned and the player attaches the corrupted Cores to his mainframe. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Your Precious Moon}} | |||
Plays after all 3 corrupted cores have been attached to Wheatley. The first part, a dramatic remix of Don't Do It, plays as PotatOS urges the player to press the Stalemate Resolution Button, which turns out to be booby-trapped by Wheatley. This is broken by a comedic chime when the player shoots a portal onto the moon. The second part, an even more dramatic orchestral piece, plays as the protagonist, Wheatley, and the corrupted cores are sucked out into the vacuum of space, and GLaDOS, back in control, knocks Wheatley out of the player's hand and saves them, pulling them back through the portal with a robotic arm. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Caroline Deleted}} | |||
Plays in GLaDOS' final talk with Chell, and the elevator ride up to the [[Turret Opera]]. The first part is a rendition of You Are Not Part of the Control Group, which is interrupted by a beep as GLaDOS supposedly deletes Caroline from her system. The second part is a rendition of Don't Do It, and the third part is a rendition of Reconstructing More Science. The song ends with the first three notes of Cara Mia Addio. | |||
* During the third part of the song, the percussion loop from Reconstructing More Science doesn't match up with the melody. It is unknown whether this was intentional or a mistake. | |||
* It is also unknown why the last three notes of Caroline Deleted are the first three notes of Cara Mia Addio, although its purpose was likely to make a connection between the two consecutive songs. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Cara Mia Addio!}} | |||
The Turret Opera. | |||
* The first three notes of this song are the last three notes of the previous song, Caroline Deleted. However, there are two auditory differences. First, the notes of Cara Mia Addio are much clearer and crisper than those of Caroline Deleted. Second, the turret sound effects are not present in the previous song. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Want You Gone}} | |||
The Portal 2 Official Ending Song, with the first Portal game's being [[Still Alive]]. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Spaaaaace}} | |||
Ambient ringing and space sounds. Plays during Wheatley's apology speech. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Space Phase}} | |||
A rendition of I Made It All Up, with added strings and harmony, that plays on the final menu screen, after the player has completed the single player campaign. | |||
{{Track|inalbum=true|Some Assembly Required}} | |||

* ''Adrenal Vapor'', ''You Are Not Part of The Control Group'', ''Forwarding The Cause of Science'', ''Robot Waiting Room #6'' have a very similar execution and contain a pure sinewave foundation. | |||

* Likely made to reflect on the entire game before, ''Caroline Deleted'' contains a snippet from ''The Courtesy Call'' at the very beginning, a few lines from ''Cara Mia Addio!'' right after that as well as a few looping notes from ''Music of the Spheres I'' both as deep and slow and as high-pitched and fast. The song then changes to a remix of ''Reconstructing More Science'', ending on the buzzing noises from ''Don't Do It''. | |||
* Similarly, ''I'm Different'' contains a few tones from ''Bombs For Throwing at You''. They are however hard to recognize, as an extra tone with a different frequency is added right after an original one - only the quiet melody connects it with the other track. | |||
* Tracks playing in the underground test chambers (''You Are Not Part of The Control Group'', ''Robot Waiting Room #1'', ''Forwarding The Cause of Science'' and ''The Reunion'') are all actually edited versions of the last one, becoming more corrupt with computer errors as time progresses and more of Aperture's story is revealed. | |||

- Almost At Fifty Percent by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 2 [1:59] | Download | Play
The track starts with ambient synths and distant water-drop-like sounds, slowly becoming more electronic as the player cuts the Neurotoxin Generator's tubes. The second part of the song is a heavy, fast-paced electronic track. This plays as the generator collapses and Wheatley urges the protagonist to enter the control room and ride the exposed tube to the Central AI Chamber. The song ends with a suction sound, as Wheatley and the player are sucked into the tube. The beginning can be heard briefly at the start of Don't Do It, as well as the and of Caroline Deleted and the beginning of Cara Mia Addio.

- I AM NOT A MORON! by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 2 [3:46] | Download | Play
The beginning of the song is an uneasy electronic melody with alarm-like synths that plays when the core transfer is happening. The second part, an upbeat, more heavily electronic track, plays while Wheatley is marveling over his size and newfound abilities after being transferred into GLaDOS's mainframe. The third part is an increasingly dramatic orchestral piece that plays when Wheatley betrays the protagonist, delivers his villainous monologue, puts GLaDOS into a potato battery, and the player learns of Wheatley's true purpose. The song is left hanging on a single note as the player and PotatOS plummet down the elevator shaft.
- Vitrification Order by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 2 [6:34] | Download | Play

- Machiavellian Bach by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [4:01] | Download | Play
A rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Little Prelude in C minor, BWV 934," but transposed from the key of C minor to F minor. The first half is played on a harpsichord. The second half, which is the same melody but very electronic-sounding and played on synthesizers, only plays when the player is being launched by a Faith Plate or flinging themself with the use of an Excursion Funnel.
- In the game, when the player is performing one of the aforementioned actions, the second half briefly takes the place of whichever part of the first half would be playing at the time. This is one of the many examples of how composer Mike Morasky uses procedurally generated music, or music that is generated in real time based on the player's actions.
- Excursion Funnel by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [4:32] | Download | Play
Plays in Chapter 8 when the player is inside an Excursion Funnel. This is remixed in the first part of The Part Where He Kills You.

- The Part Where He Kills You by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [3:23] | Download | Play
The first part of this song is a remix of Excursion Funnel with added percussion. This is broken by a startling synth arpeggio when the player is hurtled towards Wheatley and his "mash-y spike plates". The rest of the song is a fast-paced, electronic remix of Wheatley Science and Don't Do It. Part of this song also plays on the menu screen during Chapter 9.
- Omg, What has He Done? by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [2:24] | Download | Play

- Bombs for Throwing at You by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [5:48] | Download | Play
A highly climactic track that plays during the final battle between Wheatley and the protagonist. The main melody, a remix of The Part Where He Kills You, I AM NOT A MORON!, and the second half of You Know Her, plays as Wheatley attacks the player with bombs and the player attempts to redirect them back at Wheatley. The percussive interludes play when Wheatley is stunned and the player attaches the corrupted Cores to his mainframe.
- Your Precious Moon by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [1:55] | Download | Play
Plays after all 3 corrupted cores have been attached to Wheatley. The first part, a dramatic remix of Don't Do It, plays as PotatOS urges the player to press the Stalemate Resolution Button, which turns out to be booby-trapped by Wheatley. This is broken by a comedic chime when the player shoots a portal onto the moon. The second part, an even more dramatic orchestral piece, plays as the protagonist, Wheatley, and the corrupted cores are sucked out into the vacuum of space, and GLaDOS, back in control, knocks Wheatley out of the player's hand and saves them, pulling them back through the portal with a robotic arm.
- Caroline Deleted by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [1:50] | Download | Play
Plays in GLaDOS' final talk with Chell, and the elevator ride up to the Turret Opera. The first part is a rendition of You Are Not Part of the Control Group, which is interrupted by a beep as GLaDOS supposedly deletes Caroline from her system. The second part is a rendition of Don't Do It, and the third part is a rendition of Reconstructing More Science. The song ends with the first three notes of Cara Mia Addio.
- During the third part of the song, the percussion loop from Reconstructing More Science doesn't match up with the melody. It is unknown whether this was intentional or a mistake.
- It is also unknown why the last three notes of Caroline Deleted are the first three notes of Cara Mia Addio, although its purpose was likely to make a connection between the two consecutive songs.
- Cara Mia Addio! by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory on Portal 2: Songs to Test By - Volume 3 [2:33] | Download | Play
The Turret Opera.
- The first three notes of this song are the last three notes of the previous song, Caroline Deleted. However, there are two auditory differences. First, the notes of Cara Mia Addio are much clearer and crisper than those of Caroline Deleted. Second, the turret sound effects are not present in the previous song.

Trivia
Please note that the Trivia section consists purely or mainly of recurring melodies. This section also may be considered as a spoiler for people who would like to listen to the OST themselves.
- Adrenal Vapor, You Are Not Part of The Control Group, Forwarding The Cause of Science, Robot Waiting Room #6 have a very similar execution and contain a pure sinewave foundation.
- The second part of 9999999 is actually a remix of Music of the Spheres I.
- The track The Courtesy Call has its first part unique to itself, the second part is a sped-up version of Music of the Spheres I and the last part is a slowed-down version of Reconstructing More Science
- Likely made to reflect on the entire game before, Caroline Deleted contains a snippet from The Courtesy Call at the very beginning, a few lines from Cara Mia Addio! right after that as well as a few looping notes from Music of the Spheres I both as deep and slow and as high-pitched and fast. The song then changes to a remix of Reconstructing More Science, ending on the buzzing noises from Don't Do It.
- Similarly, I'm Different contains a few tones from Bombs For Throwing at You. They are however hard to recognize, as an extra tone with a different frequency is added right after an original one - only the quiet melody connects it with the other track.
- Tracks playing in the underground test chambers (You Are Not Part of The Control Group, Robot Waiting Room #1, Forwarding The Cause of Science and The Reunion) are all actually edited versions of the last one, becoming more corrupt with computer errors as time progresses and more of Aperture's story is revealed.
