Three orchestral tracks for a dark fantasy RPG soundtrack.

Mostly inspired by Night on Bald Mountain, Michael Hoenig's Baldur's Gate soundtrack and Motoi Sakuraba's Dark Souls soundtrack.

Submission for the Impressions Composing Jam - Holiday Special (December 2024)

01 The Mountain King - Main Theme

This would play in the main menu and also while you're creating your character. For this purpose it would be made into a loop, but there would be a standalone version like this for the soundtrack. The 5/4 rhythmic pattern played by the brass and piano would be a leitmotif featured throughout the soundtrack - similar to how Baldur's Gate revisits the same harmonic ideas in lots of the tracks. 

02 The Mountain King - The Great Hall

This short cue would play when the player enters the arena to fight the Mountain King. It could play during a cinematic or a sting triggered by the player in engine.

03 The Mountain King - Final Battle

Some epic boss fight music - also in 5/4. The breaks in the music are intended to be controlled by middleware software and play at key points in the fight - triggered by how much health is remaining. Eg. halfway through, during story developments or before the final push at the end etc. The final flute note at the end would play when the fight is over.
