Avowed - We Twine (End Credits)
Venus Theory’s soundtrack for Avowed is just as majestic, with traditional orchestral moments making way for music that takes influence from Indian, Chinese, Greek culture and beyond. “Getting the opportunity to learn from and work with the studio behind some of my favourite games and scores, while also getting to score one of their games myself and creating an immersive soundtrack experience is such a whirlwind of a gig,” composer Venus Theory said. “I can’t wait to share the music and sonic worlds we’ve been working on together and see my take on The Living Lands and the world of Eora out in the wild.”
“A sonic introduction to the themes and world of Eora as presented in Avowed, with some clever nods to major character themes and story moments that you’ll discover as you experience the game,” Venus Theory said about the title theme. “As with the shift in perspective players experience in Avowed, the title track leans into the new and innovative sonic palette that provides the signature sound of Avowed while retaining the same ‘fantasy’ leaning tone.”
“In my mind, ‘Soil Song’ is one of the ‘peak Avowed‘ moments that the studio and I set out to capture the sound of ‘fantasy’ without being ‘generic fantasy’,” Venus Theory told NME. “Delicate and evolving soundscapes underpin the flowing and almost lachrymose lead lines provided against a distinctive orchestral foundation blending the sounds of traditional folk and unique regional instruments to showcase the culture and ‘sound’ of the Living Lands.”
He added: “The end credits track plays into the idea that the end is just the beginning of whatever players decide is next for the world of the Living Lands. Combining many elements you hear throughout the game, the track acts as both a reprisal of various sonic signatures and a flourishing capstone to their story and choices in-game.”
