Horizon: Zero Dawn – Final Boss Epic Hybrid Rescore | Real Strings + Synths

Horizon Zero Dawn is a game I recently was playing and fell in love with its musical score! The orchestral-hybrid sound is something I’ve been recently trying out and the final boss inspired me to experiment with my own full hybrid sound.

For this rescore, I was lucky enough to work with a real string ensemble, recording both traditional playing and extended techniques to heighten the tension, metallic textures, and mechanical danger that define Horizon’s world!

⁉️Let me know what you guys think about it! I’m still new to the world of composing and game audio in general, so I would love the feedback! (Orchestral mock-up tips, rescoring tips, interactivity tips, mixing tips, I would like it all!)⁉️
