Crafting music for a faction - Fusion of musical elements

Hi, I am Weng, a game composer for Stormgate. I am new to this community Airwiggles, and so happy to be sharing my first post here. I’ve recently worked on an upcoming RTS game “Stormgate” developed by Frost Giant Studios. It was a challenging, yet super rewarding project as I am crafting the music for the whole Celestials faction.

When we were first discussing the vision for the music, we want to represent the Celestials as a combination of the biomechanical and mechanical units. They have a long history during the time as Prometheus. I wanted to give a hint of humanity as well as future technology, at last ends up combining techno, orchestral, Bulgarian choir, throat singing and world instruments such as death whistle, medieval horn and glass armonica etc. The goal is to create a unique soundscape for this crystalline, immortal and intimidating faction.

I wanted to share this project since it is a very special project for me, as I have never created any similar style before. Would love to hear what y’all think, and am curious what are some interesting musical elements/style fusion that you want to try/have tried.

Cheers,

Weng😊
