  I have been listening to the Mages of Mystralia Original Soundtrack for almost a month now.  The music was composed by Antoine Vachon who we profiled on Original Sound Version back in 2015. At that time the Montreal based composer has scored the music for some short films and mini games. In the spring of 2015 he released three preview tracks for Mages of Mystralia which resulted in the soundtrack making my most anticipated scores of 2017 list. The full soundtrack was released with the game on May 18, 2017 and you can read on for my full review of the score.

  On May 18, 2017, one of my most anticipated soundtracks for 2017, Mages of Mystralia was released. The soundtrack release coincided with the release of the game which ran a highly successful Kickstarter campaign that was 100% funded in just 16 hours, and finished at a funding level of 930%.

  According to the soundtrack page, the album includes all 50 tracks from Mages of Mystralia, composed and arranged by Antoine Vachon, with more than 20 tracks featuring Orchestrator Shota Nakama and The Video Game Orchestra (renowned for their work on Final Fantasy XV, God Eater 2 and the Kingdom Hearts franchise). Also featured on the album are Laura Intravia (Flute and Piccolo), Kristin Naigus (Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet & Bassoon) and Mathieu Côté (Solo Cello).

  You can purchase the soundtrack directly on bandcamp for $9.99 or grab it in a bundle with the game on Steam.

  Preview Three Tracks from Mages of Mystralia by Composer Antoine Vachon

  May 30, 2016 | Ryan Paquet | Comments Off on Preview Three Tracks from Mages of Mystralia by Composer Antoine Vachon Share this Preview Three Tracks from Mages of Mystralia by Composer Antoine Vachon

  

  Antoine Vachon, a Canadian composer who we profiled last year has recently released three tracks to the upcoming game Mages of Mystralia which is releasing next year. The gorgeous tracks feature Laura Intravia on flute, Mathieu Côté on violin, David Bouchard on Cello and Antoine Vachon on piano. The music very engaging and my personal favorite is the lengthy track just under minutes long titled “Dark Tower”.

  Accompany Zia as she strikes off to train and learn to control her magical abilities that had her exiled. Journey across the lands to meet other exiled mages and uncover runes with magical properties that can be combined into millions of different possibilities, letting you come up with completely new and incredible spells! The story is being written by bestselling author Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms fantasy world for Dungeons and Dragons.

  The studio is working on developing its first original innovative game that you will have never seen before in 2017.
