“Depraved” is an indie realtime-strategy game. It is set during the colonization era of the wild west.
The German game developer Evilbite emailed me to talk about a game soundtrack. Their game was in need of a revamp planning a final release on Steam.
We wanted to achieve an authentic western sound. Accordingly, I talked to a couple of live musicians.
For instance, in one case we needed a “Dobro” guitar for a couple of the tracks. One of the musicians who worked with me was Glenn Schwärzer. He is a dutch guitarist and live performer. Glenn contributed some beautiful Dobro recordings.
Furthermore, Hammerson Peters is a canadian musician and artist who played the fiddle part in “Free Wilderness”.
Initially, we started out with drafts and pre-production versions of the music.
Subsequently, I sent the preview to the musicians. They would record their instrument part and send it back to me.
Finally, I mixed and mastered all the tracks.
The game and the soundtrack are available as a bundle on Steam.
