[h2]Dear Traveller,[/h2]
First of all – I and the entire team would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks for the loving support you showed us after we posted yesterday's
studio update. It's been a challenging couple of months, not least of all emotionally, but seeing you express your faith in us and our game like this is deeply invigourating. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Now, on to the matter at hand.
Today we’re happy to announce that the official soundtrack of Book of Travels is available for purchase on Steam. Of course, if you’re a Kickstarter backer of a pledge level that includes the soundtrack,
you will get a key through Backerkit without having to buy it. For everyone else, the soundtrack will cost $8,99.
The music of Book of Travels is obviously a big part of what makes Braided Shore and its atmosphere what it is. It was produced and composed by Josef Tuulse and Retro Family, and
it was definitely a labour of love for them to bring this world to life with their musical prowess.
I would love to take this opportunity to tell you more about this music, how it came together and why it’s so special to us. But no matter how much I admire what they managed to accomplish through their artistry and musicianship, I don’t feel it’s my place to do that. Therefore I reached out to Retro Family to write a little something for the fans themselves…
[h2]A word from our musicians[/h2]
"Thank you for listening and getting lost with us in Book of Travels. We are very proud of this soundtrack and hope that it will transport you to the adventures of Braided Shore.
What's unique about the music in Braided Shore is that everything is played and performed live by the trio, which makes the music come alive and breathe. The style and instrumentation were experimented with until we came up with something that matched the feel and pace of the game.
The Oud, Darbuka and flute are heavily featured instruments, and traditional music from Turkey, Armenia, Egypt, Greece and Iran served as a big influence in creating this beautiful soundtrack. It was a challenge to learn these instruments and make them all blend together. Another great experience, or obstacle, was to mix classic RPG music with that of classical Ottoman music and to make it work for the game. But in the end I think we did a wonderful job and the result is something we are very proud of. Enjoy!" - Retro Family
Retro Family consists of Jokke Pettersson, Alfred Andersson and Ulf Wahlgren.
It goes without saying that
Book of Travels would be lesser without the music that these gentlemen dreamed up for it, and judging by how many of you that has reached out to me asking about when the soundtrack will be released I think it’s fair to say that many of you would agree with that sentiment.
Thank you for your continued support, and enjoy!
Best wishes,
Oliver & the team at Might and Delighthttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1152340/Book_of_Travels/
