Press release:
Madrid April 10th, 2023.
If you are one of those people who do not understand a good game without a good soundtrack, you have another reason not to miss The Crown of Wu. And now, good fortune is on your side: you can now watch this great making of in which Álex Elósegui and Sergio Villa, members of Wild Cat Records, explain in detail how the soundtrack of “The Crown of Wu” was composed and produced.
Because there are those who play videogames convinced that videogames are an art made up of many languages. Red Mountain, developers of The Crown Of Wu, knew that a legendary game had to offer something great for the ears.
That’s why they trusted Wild Cat Records, a studio founded in 2004 whose curriculum includes having worked for ImDbPro and having participated in the most important film and videogame festivals in the international scene.
The Crown of Wu’s score seeks to highlight the darkness that follows the main character of the game, Wu. In this way we have a mix of oriental tradition and urban sound that evolves with the character’s arc and his tenebrous intimate psychology.
Wild Cat Records’ experience in the film industry was a source of good ideas that they presented to the development studio. They achieved a score with a narrative value that flows with the story. The traditional Chinese instruments, chosen by the producers, blend perfectly with the more technological elements of the world proposed by The Crown of Wu, where oriental legends merge with science fiction. And, above all, they masterfully reinforce the mood of the game, so that you, gamer, can immerse yourself in this universe in an absolute way.
But why do we keep telling you about it when you can watch it in the documentary linked in this email? More than twenty minutes of pure delight, where musicians and developers shake hands. Especially recommended for those who are interested in videogames as a sum of arts.
Believe us. When you see this making off you will understand why you feel like a tank aiming at a bell tower when you play The Crown of Wu. It’s the power of music, comrade.
