We hear it more quickly now! "Less is more" is something you hear experienced people in music production say all the time, but it has taken quite a while over the years to really understand what that might actually mean for us. The way it has changed, it's hard to say, but with experience we've definitely gotten better at instantly getting rid of things we feel aren't working in the music. Hi! Thank you for your nice compliments about our Hammerwatch soundtrack - that was a quite while ago and also our very first game soundtrack! :) We don't know if we want to do more of that, but surely something!Īnyways, we're ready to ride this wave wherever it takes us :) It's quite different from what we did for Metal: Hellsinger though - much more symphonic. Back then we missed doing metal so much that we made a EP, tied to no game, which became Two Feathers first "non game music", so that's why we put it onto another name. Actually, just a few months before we started to work on this game, we had released a new Two Feathers "branch" which we called "Two Feathers: Epoch". Hopefully our music for Metal: Hellsinger can lead people to find out about our other OST's as well! We're absolutely still game-composers through and through but we have jokingly said that with all this praise of our metal, it would be a disservice to ourselves not to continue doing metal in some way or form. We're super excited for our reputation reaching more gamers and more people knowing about our music, as well as nervously terrified to suddenly be in the spotlight! Hello! Thank you for this great question and the nice compliment!
I grew up listening to a lot of melodic death-metal, so I guess that was the start? But it changes all the time. The music is cut up into many loop-pieces that changes throughout the level in order to make sure that the player feels a sense of a progression in the music itself when clearing certain areas, not only depending on your multiplier score.įrom an artistic perspective - knowing that you were to compose, write melody and lyrics and then present it to some of the greatest metal-icons out there was at times quite daunting and mildly terrifying :D But they were all great to work with and we're super-happy with the results. From a technical standpoint - making sure that the music was dynamic enough to be interesting to listen to through the entirety of a level took a bit of effort, both creatively and technically. Maybe a bit more if we account for recording all artists and not just composing. We worked on the soundtrack for about 2-ish years. We sent them a snippet of our music to listen to, since we knew that would be the most important thing for them to decide on if they liked it or not! Gladly, they usually did :D We also emphasised on this game kind of being a celebration of metal, and that we wanted it to feel like playing a music album, or being at a concert as well as explaining how the music would be interactively portrayed in the game.
So we tried to explain it as Doom meets Guitar Hero, since we figured Guitar Hero is something that people outside of gaming also have seen at a party or elsewhere, and since it was a game that also worked closer to the music industry featuring rock/metal music. We also didn't know if the recipient would be someone who plays games or not, maybe they've never even heard of Doom etc, and wouldn't get the references we gave. The tricky part was to do that without being able to show anything, especially back in 2019 when there were no trailers out yet, no public mention of the project, and the game itself was a bit too early in development to truly impress somebody outside of gaming. We approached managers, artists managements or the artists themselves, usually with an introductory email that explained the game, our vision and our music. The pitch-process was very interesting, and something we grew more and more naturally into.
