I just LOVE the ultra-minimal score, its a mixture of “natural” (water-drops, wind, etc.) and industrial (cogs turnining, hammers, etc). Go get it now!

Guthrie wrote a fully realized score that could not only be deconstructed into loops for various levels of game play, but could also allow room for player interaction. Jim Guthrie’s music is a major component to the game. Some of the songs on this record directly inspired the creation of the collaborative art+music+video game project known as Superbrothers : Sword & Sworcery EP, ” a brave experiment in I/O cinema with an archetypical video game aesthetic” available for Apple’s touchtronic machinery on the iTunes App Store. Other songs, like The Ballad of the Space Babies were created specifically for S:S&S EP. For more information about the project you might want to stop by swordandsworcery.com

Strings and minor chords became the basis for Belial’s theme. ‘Huline Jungle’s‘ tribal sound was composed by recording chants and authentic ethnic instruments. The result immerses the listener in the lush vibrant sounds of the woodlands. The inspiration for ‘The Draracle Halls’ came from scraping heavy chains along the recording studio floor. The sounds would later serve as the song’s drum track.

These tunes really carry atmosphere and emotion and could have been used very well to score a movie.
