Forever Skies Music Preview - Composed By Paweł Błaszczak
Greetings scientists!
It's time we announced our talented Composer & Sound Designer behind Forever Skies, introducing Paweł Błaszczak!
Paweł has previously composed tracks for well know games such as Dying Light, Dead Island & The Witcher Franchise.
Here is one of the tracks, “Lone Scientist”. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for new locations. We recently dragged Pawel away from his keyboards to find out more about him!

[h3]For those who don’t know, can you tell us what other games you’ve composed music for?[/h3]
I have composed entire soundtracks for games such as Dying Light, Dead Island, Call of Juarez, The Witcher franchise and most recently, The Ascent. I have also done individual songs for the likes of EVE Online and War Thunder to name a few.
[h3]Who would you say are your biggest musical heroes in general?[/h3]
I have a special place in my heart for synth and electronic music, especially from the 80’s. Composers such John Carpenter, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Vangelis or artists such as Tangerine Dream and Ultavox spring to mind.
But my biggest musical love still to this day is the old Commodore 64 system. That odd piece of hardware had so much music built into it, even though it was limited to just 3 channels. Getting hold of something like that in my early days sparked something in me that continues to this day.
[h3]Are there any films or TV shows that got you in the mood for composing the music to Forever Skies?
[/h3]
I only turn to film and TV (or other games for that matter) when I need to immerse myself more in a similar setting or environment to the game I am composing for. The music always comes from an original place, but getting into a headspace that matches what you are working on always helps.
Since Forever Skies is a game about isolation, apocalypse and mankind’s downfall and the need to start building again there were a few that got me into this mood. Films like - The Martian, Annihilation, Prospect and The Book of Eli and shows such as Dark or even certain episodes of Love, Death + Robots.
On top of that the book “Second Sleep” by Robert Harris also really got me into the mindset as it looks closely at the idea of systemic collapse and how people would try to continue on with life somehow.
Thanks for reading!
