Press release:
SAN DIEGO – August 19, 2020 – Scarlet Moon Records is pleased to present the “Dreamscaper” (Original Game Soundtrack) composed by Dale North. Dreamscaper is a surreal roguelite-inspired ARPG with modernized hack ‘n’ slash combat about lucid dreaming.

The tagline, “DREAM. DIE. WAKE. REPEAT.” is encapsulated in North’s dynamic score that drips with emotion as heroine Cassidy explores dreamy landscapes and battles horrific nightmares. The Dreamscaper (Original Game Soundtrack) is available on digital stores and streaming platforms and will be available as a bundle on Steam in the near future:

“From the very minute the team at Afterburner Studios finished describing Cassidy’s backstory, their goals, and their desires for the soundtrack, I had an image for the soundtrack in mind,” reflects composer Dale North.

“The pacing of Dreamscaper is unlike anything else I’ve ever played and setting that to music that felt right, and that conveyed the full range of emotion that Cassidy experiences in this story, has been a continual challenge. Adding to that, I wanted my musical approach to be just as unconventional. But something this unique and well-crafted made the challenge feel relatively easy. The incredible environments created by artist Paul Svoboda especially served as direct inspiration for the soundtrack. It just all seemed to snap together.”

About Dale North
Dale North is a composer, arranger, and orchestrator for videogames, based in San Diego. As a multi-instrumentalist (piano, vocal, brass), performer, and singer-songwriter with an international training, he brings a unique voice to videogame music.

Dale’s music mixes traditional instrumentation with vintage colors, blending live pianos and orchestral tones with the synthesizers and sound sets that shaped the sounds of games from the Super Nintendo and PlayStation eras. His upbringing in Tokyo, Japan helped shape his melodic sense (and his love of synthesizers), and he continues to hold the traditions of game music in the highest regard. He’s best known for his work on Wizard of Legend, Sparklite, and Nintendo Minute.

Dale looks forward to working on projects that favor creativity and seek to honor game music’s rich heritage.
