What a joy it has been to contribute original score to Amazon Games’ New World: Aeternum! Collaborating with my gifted colleagues at Hexany Audio, we worked together to create music that would reflect the rich, fantastical world of the game. The soundtrack brings to life themes of adventure, mystery, and discovery, complementing the immersive landscapes of Aeternum. I’m so grateful to have played a small part in this project, and with the soundtrack now available on all major streaming platforms, I hope fans of the game enjoy the music as much as we enjoyed creating it! On the official New World Website, I participated in an interview about the creative process:
“My approach mainly consisted of a traditional orchestra, but with emphasis on some instruments that could capture both a sophisticated and folklike, rustic tone. A solo cello, with its strings loosened (nearly to the point of falling off) produced a deep, rumbling, and groaning sound that seemed to perfectly complement some of the ancient and spiritual moments in the game. The visually stunning artwork for the cutscenes was also incredibly inspiring. It enabled moments of seamless marriage between the visuals and the music, elevating the storytelling and inspiring fresh themes and melodies for Medea, the island of Aeternum, and the Soul Wardens.“
Available on all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music
Here are a couple of my personal favorite tracks:
