First musical draft

Music for games is most often added in the later stages of the production and I can fully understand why that is. This early I haven’t been able to create any definite music that we want in the game since I need to see the game be played first to write really fitting tracks.

But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be proactive. Since I know that our aim is an environment with desert and canyon-like style I can try musical themes and instruments  that fits.

This is a moodboard from the early concepting stage.

So I have been trying to find VSTs  that emulates middle eastern instruments or at least reminds me of them. And I found one called EasternONE which has a Ney flute. This flute is very characteristic for desert themes. To give you a sample I have a link to a quick draft here. It’s the flute you hear in the beginning of the song.

So that’s pretty much what I am doing know to prepare for writing the final music. Listening to a lot of similar themed music and trying different instrumental setups in FL Studio.
