These are songs or themes which start with one instrument, and then the rest of the instruments appear up to two at a time. The voice may appear (or not) at any point of the song in question, either at the beginning, in the middle, or as the last instrument. For example, in a four-piece ensemble composed of guitar, bass, drums and keyboard, you may have the drums play a beat, then the bass joining in order to shape the song, then the keyboards to add ambience to it, and finally the guitar joins in for the full explosion before the lyrics start. This is a common happening in live performances, where each musician is introduced with their respective instrument by the main singer, then the singer himself is introduced by another singer, usually one that plays an instrument. Compare Variable Mix, where the music in a game gradually evolves based on what's happening in the game. Also compare Big Rock Ending, where every instrument ends the song in a big note, disappearing one at a time. May be part of an Evolving Title Screen. Not to be confused with Explosive Instrumentation, which is a very different trope. Also not to be confused with Progressive Rock, which is a genre and carries much different connotations, though this trope can be included with it every now and then. |

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: The theme of Lorule Castle changes a little each time Link defeats a boss or miniboss (and thus weakens the seal of the gate leading to the throne room), transitioning gradually from what looks like the reverse version of Hyrule Castle to Ganon's Leitmotif. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Each Divine Beast has its own introductory theme as you enter it for the first time, which changes completely the moment Link activates the Beast's first terminal. From then on each terminal activated gradually adds a new layer to the lingering dungeon theme until all five terminals are activated, and from then the song's tempo is bumped up to increase the tension before entering the boss room. | |

The Temple level of Journey is a tower, which you ascend by activating light emitters at its core, one floor at a time. Each time you light up a floor, additional instruments join the background music, starting from complete silence at the start of the level and going to the full orchestra by the time you reach the top. | |

Homestuck tie-in album The Felt features "Omelette Sandwich", a song about the character Eggs, who repeatedly travels back in time to amass an army of himself whenever he needs to fight. True to form, the song itself periodically "rewinds", layering in new instruments and speeding up each time to reflect how the character grows more frenzied as he brings in more copies of himself. At the very end, the instruments cut out in the reverse order as the song slows back down. | |

Undertale: The start menu's theme adds more instruments for each leg of progress towards a Pacifist Run. The game's official soundtrack features two of these variations as tracks: the minimalist version that plays when first starting the game, and the full version with all the instruments. During the final leg of the trip to meet the Disc-One Final Boss, the game's titular track begins with acoustic guitar, which is slowly joined by a gentle electronic beat, piano, strings, flute, and drums as characters onscreen explain the events that kicked off the plot. Each of these, in turn, fade out at the end of the song. |

Conker's Bad Fur Day: The Bomb Run music, heard while Conker is taking a large Cartoon Bomb from the Rock Solid clubhouse to the heart of the Uga Buga volcano, gradually adds notes from different instruments as the character approaches the required destination (bagpipes at first, piano, drums). It culminates with the addition of a tense, fast-paced African Chant. After Conker defeats the Experiment (and the Little Girl controlling him), he has to escape from the Tediz island before it explodes. The Countdown music will start playing and, the closer Conker gets to the coast, the more intense it gets and more instruments are added (marching drums at first, cymbals, synthetized trumpet sounds). Once Conker reaches the coast, it's replaced altogether by military reprise of the game's standard boss music. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: This can be done optionally by playing the Wind Fish's Ballad in front of its egg before all of the Siren's Instruments are obtained. Each instrument will materialize and play its own separate section of the ballad, with or without the necessary accompaniment. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask one minigame features Link performing a music test in the milk bar. As he assumes each of his four forms and plays their respective instruments, an illusion of the previous forms playing their parts appears and the music gets more complicated as instruments are added. Finally all four Links are somehow on stage playing at once. See this here. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks: A dynamic example. As more sections of the tower become accessible, the music that plays in higher sections contains more instruments. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: The theme of Lorule Castle changes a little each time Link defeats a boss or miniboss (and thus weakens the seal of the gate leading to the throne room), transitioning gradually from what looks like the reverse version of Hyrule Castle to Ganon's Leitmotif.

From then on each terminal activated gradually adds a new layer to the lingering dungeon theme until all five terminals are activated, and from then the song's tempo is bumped up to increase the tension before entering the boss room. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: As Link approaches the deepest reaches of Gloom's Lair, the game plays a tense track that begins with Ominous Latin Chanting and gradually adds more instruments as well as One-Woman Wail, resulting in a very somber theme. The music's progression is showcased here. |

Super Mario Bros.: Paper Mario 64: For the final area, Bowser's Castle, the music starts off with minimal instruments that progressively adds in more as Mario is making his way to the top. Super Mario Galaxy: The theme for the Comet Observatory starts off with a handful of soothing-sounding instruments like a xylophone, a flute, and a single violin. As Mario collects more Power Stars and restores power to the various sections of the observatory, more and more instruments are added until the theme uses a big, sweeping orchestra. The menu music from Mario Kart Wii adds a new instrument as you move from one page of the menu to the next. The Level Select theme of all Yoshi's Island games adds an instrument for every world completed. |

At the climax of BECK, everyone but Koyuki has given up, so he is left on his own on stage, and begins to play without the rest of the band. Inspired, one by one the rest of the band joins in, building on the song this way. The song in the original Japanese audio was The Beatles' "I Got A Feeling," but it was changed for the dub. | |

The game also inverts the trope during a Wham Episode, when layers of a track gradually fade out until there's nothing but a lone piano and static. |

Portal 2: Near the end of Chapter 4, there's a test chamber where three beams have to be redirected respectively to three receptors in order to open a door. Each time Chell manages to redirect one beams to a receptor, the background music adds notes from one instrument for extra suspense. | |

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the remix of "Escape" from Metroid starts with the original 8-bit chiptune, then gradually adds in a couple orchestral instruments every few bars. By the song's third loop, it's a full orchestra. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask one minigame features Link performing a music test in the milk bar. As he assumes each of his four forms and plays their respective instruments, an illusion of the previous forms playing their parts appears and the music gets more complicated as instruments are added. Finally all four Links are somehow on stage playing at once. See this here. | |

Super Mario Galaxy: The theme for the Comet Observatory starts off with a handful of soothing-sounding instruments like a xylophone, a flute, and a single violin. As Mario collects more Power Stars and restores power to the various sections of the observatory, more and more instruments are added until the theme uses a big, sweeping orchestra. | |

NieR makes extensive use of Variable Mix, so each track has several layers to it, which can be added as a situation grows more intense. For example, a dramatic confrontation at the game's midpoint begins with a moody pipe organ version of "Shadowlord's Castle," then adds a male chorus, and finally urgent strings, horns, and bells. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: As Link approaches the deepest reaches of Gloom's Lair, the game plays a tense track that begins with Ominous Latin Chanting and gradually adds more instruments as well as One-Woman Wail, resulting in a very somber theme.
