Primal (Original soundtrack score recording): Difference between revisions

Andrew Barnabas said about his score: ''When we were first asked to compose the music to such a dark gothic fantasy, we never thought we would get the go-ahead - or the budgets - to write what has effectively turned into a full-scale movie score. Videogames have finally come of age in musical terms. Eat your heart out John Williams.''

"''Primal'' was an ambitious concept from Day One; an expansive story driven game presenting four unique Demonic Worlds, a host of original characters, and with an unlikely pair of protagonissts driving the experience. The technical and visual challenges facing us were huge, but an equally crucial component in bringing our characters and story to life was the soundtrack." - Chris Sorell, Creative Director for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

Each of the realms explored in ''Primal'' have their own theme and musical signature. Gongs, percussion, low choir and brass were used for [[Solum]] and the themes were solely for [[Herne]] and Jared. The [[Aquis]] realm contained choirs, woodwinds, high strings and two harps to instil a sense of tranquility - the main theme being for [[Aino]]. The dramatic nature of Russian music combined with emotive violin made up the [[Aetha]] soundtrack. The Volca themes were few, but consisted of a combination of Egyptian, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern musical influence - the Alto Flute playing an important role.

==Trivia==

*'''Dark Science''' contains elements of Strauss' Blue Danube for a somewhat off-key dreamy dance sequence.
