Composer and friend of OSV Alexander Brandon is releasing one of his most recent video game soundtracks to digital and physical formats this week. Sci-fi city-building game Aven Colony released last year and will now be seeing its music officially released by Brandon and Materia Collective. Brandon’s former composing credits include the original Dues Ex, Unreal, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and more, so he has experience composing for sci-fi and fantasy environments.
Aven Colony had a very cool music design. Paul Tozour, lead developer on Aven Colony, requested a feeling of “organic synthesis” and low key tonal beds when the player first begins building. As they progress, the music will shift using the same beds but add orchestra for a grandiose representation of their accomplishments. As Paul put it, “glory of civilization”. – Alexander Brandon, Composer
The soundtrack to Aven Colony features 21 tracks with heavy synth elements blended with acoustic tones.
The Aven Colony Original Soundtrack will be releasing this Friday, May 8th on Bandcamp and iTunes and can be pre-ordered on both for about $10.
