Well, Deep Silver had been busily working away on two games that we were interested in this year. The first was Cursed Mountain, which featured some amazing horror music, and the second was Risen, which was just released this week. I honestly had no idea what to expect from composer Kai Rosenkranz, but upon hearing some of the music in the game, I can tell you it sports equally awesome dark ambiance with some intense actions themes thrown in the mix. The European version apparently came with the game’s soundtrack, but I don’t know at this point if it’s in the US release.
Gideon had the pleasure of meeting Kai Rosenkranz at a recent Deep Silver press event, and told me he is a pretty cool dude, but we were fortunately able to sit down with him and have a formal discussion about the game’s score. We get a little background info about Rosenkranz and his work at Piranha Bytes and also learn about his approach to the game’s score and some of his inspirations.
The soundtrack has some seriously good stuff to offer, so check out our interview with Kai Rosenkranz after the jump. (more…)
