Here is a test mix I did with some reference music for Kōtiro. The general idea is to establish a working base from which to build from. I’m still fighting with the balance or organic and synthetic sounds, but I am thinking to make a blend of things so that the result is physically realistic, but not easily recognizable.
Since the story takes place in a time heavily influenced by nature, magic and mysticism, I have been drawn to psychedelic music. Driving beats and atmospheric spaces set the tone for the events in the game, and lend an air of intrigue.
