Until Dawn's Soundtrack Is Now On iTunes

Adam Cook writes for Bleeding Cool…

It's safe to say that Supermassive Games' third-person horror game Until Dawn has been one of the breakout hits of the year so far, garnering a good critical reception for a title many thought was being sent to die.

The soundtrack is now available on iTunes, but over on Sony's PS Blog, composer Jason Graves (great name) has had a few words to say on the OST:

I always comes down to emotion and tone when you're talking about music and its effect on listeners. For Until Dawn, I was going for a cold, atmospheric tone that evoked the cold, isolated mountain setting and also had a mystery vibe to it. I decided on a classical orchestra augmented with analogue synthesizers and creative recordings in my studio.

The orchestra provided the emotional tension and connection to the listeners through spooky textures and thematic content. The decision to use some of my outboard analogue synthesizers was a bit of a wink to the classic slasher films of the '70s and '80s – there's a lot of great synth sounds in those and I loved the idea of paying homage while still moving forward and trying something fresh.

With a bit of luck, Until Dawn 2 might become a thing, then.
