Arcania: A gothic tale score achieved

For the fourth volume of the Gothic Saga, I had the pleasure to produce over 40 minutes of in-game music. Together with my partners from Dynamedion, we went for a mysterious, minimalistic style, with a rough and organic edge to it. I played more live instruments than in any other project, including an Irish bodhran, an Armenian duduk, an Australian didjeridoo, a Turkish kaval, a Chinese snake flute and my loyal water boiler – to name only a few.
