What Is It?
This is the Soundtrack I have composed for the game I have worked on.
The making behind this OST required a long research process that involved the study of different techniques used in a variety of music genres.
Every single track has to represent a precise character, which required me to analyze them in order to find the perfect genre and style to use to express every theme at its fullest.
Through each song my main thought process consisted in questioning what would be the best genre to represent the character that I was composing for.
P3-NG, for example, is a robot that doesn't know what emotions are; that made me realize that one of the best ways to represent this character would have been 8-bit, connecting it to the robotic theme and making it coherent within a videogame.
Each character made me think about the best instruments and the most fitting keys to use, creating varied, dynamic yet energizing themes for every single member of our cast!
Some examples
P3-NG is an emotionless robot.
That's what made me think about 8-bit and Techno as main genres for this character, giving the sense of excitement and adventure of old 8-bit games.
Balor is a divinity inspired by the viking mythology.
That's why I've decided to compose an Epic/Orchestral theme for this character, so that it could express its epicness and resamble the viking era through the horns and the strings.
Karen is a snob cold hearted character.
I thought that Dance/Techno House could be the best way to express this character, using sounds coming from popstars of the 2000s/2010s such as Britney Spears
Bob is a polar bear that decided to infiltrate inside the penguin society.
The perfect way to represent this character is Jazz, as it is commonly used for heists scenes or detectives monologues, creating that feel of mystery and unknown.
