Music to Level Up Your Day: Witcher III
I don't know much about musical theory, nor am I a musically inclined person. However, I do love to listen to video game soundtracks. Who doesn't? They can be a powerful listening experience in their own right, or be as evocative as the scores composed for film. Each of these posts will feature music tracks from a single game title, or series/franchise in some rare cases.
Singer: Percival, RED Witches
North American Release Date: May 2015
Geralt of Rivia, a famed Witcher (monster hunter for hire), sets out in search of his adopted daughter, who is on the run from the otherworldly Wild Hunt. Eventually the two realize that the Hunt will never stop, and so Ciri and Geralt decide to fight the huntsmen at a time and place of their choosing
Marcin Przybyłowicz used gadulka, suka, gusli and rebec to accentuate the game's slavic themes. Self taught slavic folk musicians were also employed, but because they couldn't read sheet music, they had to approach the score differently.
The Trail | (Main Theme)
Silver For Monsters... | (Battle Theme)
Ladies of the Woods | (Crone Theme)
Hunt or Be Hunted | (Battle Theme)
The Fields of Ard Skellig | (Area Theme)
The Wolven Storm | (Priscilla's Song)
"Hatred and prejudice will never be eradicated, and witch hunts will never be about witches. A scapegoat, that's the key." - Geralt of Rivia
