Grim Music!

The very talented musicians we’ve been working with to create the music for Grim Dawn had a recording session recently and came up with this first track:

Sounds great!

But who are these mysterious musicians? :0

I’m impressed. Sounds good!

Sounds very good…excited to see the song matched up with the game someday :stuck_out_tongue:

An audio post has been a long time coming, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve been working with a good friend to compose and record the score for the game, and I think everyone will be happy with the end result.

This sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

How are these songs composed? Is that real instrumentation or synthesized computer generated sounds?

thx for muzax sneak peek! great one! keep up the great work!

A combination of both is typically the standard for soundtracks these days, where there isn’t a budget to hire a full orchestra. The real instruments played are the piano, tambourine, flute, duduk, and some of the percussion. The remaining instruments were private instrument banks created in Gigastudio, Logic, and Fruity Loops amassed over 15 years of composition. Everything was recorded in real-time, however, because pre-quantized instruments, no matter how realistic, always sound less real.

Thanks, always wondered about that stuff.

The music sounds like a cross between Akira Yamaoka and Basil Poledouris. Sort of Silent Hill meets Conan, I really like it!

Nice stuff. I was just going to make a post about the music.

That track had a slight “western shootout at high noon” feel to it about half way through. I like it. :slight_smile:

Excellent atmosphere !

And very good taste. :wink:

OMG. I listened to this in class. Everyone looked over at me, had my iPhone up to loud (lol, advertisement!).

AMAZING :O!!!

Farout! Thats impressive! It’s got dark Grim Dawn all over it and makes me think “Man, this is for real” Thanks so much for the update/sneek-peek :wink:

Sounds like a western cowboy movie, love it! draws pistols bang bang

I’ve listened to the track several times in a loop and enjoyed each time a bit more. It’s creates a mood of anxiety and wonder for me … very fitting.

It is very fitting for a grim game. I can’t wait to hear more of it.

Music just blew me away! Great job!

I can’t wait to hear some up-beat tones with this type of dark atmospheric music, that would really get the blood pumping!

I’m absolutely amazed.

Awesome composition guys, thanks for sharing it with us!

:slight_smile:

Edit: I love the Piano, would like to hear more of it!

Great music! This definitely helps set the mood for GD. Not too in your face to distract you from the action happening in game, but meaty enough to really set the tone.

I think GD could really benefit from a signature track. You know, like a piece of music that just always reminds you of the game like the horn section in LOTR:p
