Runic is finally talking about the music in Torchlight II, which will once again be composed by Matt Uelmen. In the internally-produced interview, Uelmen shares his thoughts about the direction for the soundtrack this time around, his recording sessions in Bratislava, and on his past works at Blizzard North. Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic, also chimes in about the decision to record with the orchestra and the experience traveling to Prague for the recording.
Not only is the above sample provided, but there’s a streamable version of the game’s main theme, which is the true highlight of the interview that you owe it to yourselves to go over and check out. I’m really impressed by the live orchestral sound that Uelmen has achieved. Uelmen also reveals that there are multiple towns in the game, so let’s all hope he’ll bust out the 12-string once again and give us some awesome town themes (the original Torchlight’s town theme was pretty amazing).
Let us know what you think of the original game and it’s music. Are you excited about Torchlight II after hearing the main theme?
