Behind the Score: Creating the Music of Crimson Moon
ProbablyMonsters
Gothic high fantasy. Orchestra. Choir. Metal.
Music plays a huge part in bringing the world of Crimson Moon to life, blending sweeping orchestral and choral music with the ferocity and energy of metal to create a sound that matches both the gothic world of Gildenarch and the intensity of the hunt.
In our latest behind-the-scenes video, Music Manager and Composer Steve Pardo and Audio Lead and Composer Christopher Wilson take you inside the recording process, alongside some of the incredible musicians bringing the score to life.
Creating the Sound of Gildenarch
From exploring the fallen city to facing the horrors waiting within its Wards, the music of Crimson Moon was created to complement both the gothic world of Gildenarch and the energy of its combat.
Orchestra and choir bring the scale and high-fantasy atmosphere, while metal brings a very different kind of intensity.
Together, they form the musical identity of Crimson Moon.
Go behind the scenes of the orchestral and choir recording sessions and discover how these different influences come together to create the sound of the game.
