Dead Man's News #07: The Music of the Wild West

Howdy fellow gunslingers!

Let's talk about the music of Colt Canyon: To make the Western experience as authentic as possible and allow the player to immerse themselves into a wild west world filled with whizzing bullets, bloodthirsty enemies and dangerous wildlife you need an atmospheric soundtrack - no matter whether it's a movie or a game.

Colt Canyon is no exception! The game is designed in a minimalized and pixelized style with color mood and vegetation differing depending on the various regions the players is shooting his way through - and it's the same for the soundtrack.

Composer of the Colt Canyon soundtrack is Luigi-Maria Rapisarda:

"Endless deserts, smoking colts, saloons in which the whiskey flows, bandits that wanna chase you down and the burning sun in the sky combined with typical instruments like harmonica, fiddle or an old bar-piano - the Colt Canyon soundtrack is inspired by the works of Ennio Morricone on the great Spaghetti Western movies of the 60s and 70s."


But no amount of words is able to completely capture and describe music, right? So let the music do the talking instead! Check out this preview of what to expect when you fire up Colt Canyon:
