Description
The song is divided into 4 main sections:
-Prelude: This first section dives into the scenery of the story representing the calm or emptiness that precedes the wait for a terrible event to come.
-The death knight (0:42-2:17): The death knight descends from the heavens followed by entities (as seen in the reference image). The strings represent the descent. The rhythm and percussion represent the passage of the rider and his army destroying everything in their path. The choirs represent the prophetic divinity of the event. From the imaginative of the game I imagined this section as a horse battle in an open field.
-Desolation (2:17-3:15): This section represents the desolate landscape after the apocalypse. The solo leads were modeled to resemble the anguish and crying. The choirs appear subtly representing the arrival of the angels to the scene.
-Ascension (3:15): Finally, the ascension of souls is represented. The choirs represent a requiem of angels and the accompaniment of souls to paradise.
Type of game: RPG/3D.
Narrative of the imaginary game: A medieval world, devastated by hunger, plague and war, which has been condemned by the gods to its disappearance. To stop the apocalypse the hero embarks on a journey and must obtain all kinds of mystical superpowers to battle with the four horsemen of the apocalypse and give the world a new chance.
Musical genre: Cinematic orchestra.
Others: With the exception of percussion, I used synthesizers to design all sounds.
DAW: FLStudio
