Very greatful to Color Gray Games for allowing me become a part of the unique journey they're creating for the fellow detective game lovers and mystery solving appreciators out there.. the 2nd DLC just came out last Thursday on 31st of August, and I am excited to share this soundtrack with you!
After an overwhelmingly positive feedback of the music from previous Golden Idol DLC "The Spider of Lanka", which took a darker tone and introduced a heavy Asian feel, I felt a huge wave of inspiration alongside the feeling of being completely on the same page with Color Gray developers in terms of sound and the boundaries we can push, in this new adventure that players will experience.
Xenopolis island, which (without many spoilers) shedds light on the mystery of the origin of the Golden Idol, heavily reminded me of Myst island. There is something ethereal, distant and at the same time nostalgic about this place.. that inspiration along with the strong will to continue evolving the soundtrack, rather than "locking" it in a certain style, gave space for new creative ideas of introducing tribal elements, more experimentation with ambience, louder guitar sections, and sprinkling it with some really cool dark & cinematic feeling vibes.
Quite honoured and excited to share this soundtrack - enjoy!
