Press release:
Madrid, February 4th.
Sony Interactive Entertainment Spain (SIE Spain) and Fractall Fall released “Windfolk“, a third-person aerial shooter, exclusively on PS4 and PS5 last January as part of the PlayStation Talents initiative. Today, Fractal Fall is pleased to show a glimpse of the game’s soundtrack, composed and conducted by Javier Colmen.

“When composing the main theme, I first wrote a melody on a piano, following concept arts and other information shared by the studio”, says Colmen.

“Once I had that melody, which represented Essen’s struggle against Russell and The Coalition, I decided to create an orchestral sound to match the epic scale of the story. Thus, I chose ethnic wind instruments and percussion instruments (such as pan flutes and tin whistles) to represent Eurian’s ancient civilizations as well as synthesizers to show how technology was a main driver in the game”.

You can take a closer look at the making of Windfolk’s soundtrack in the video below these lines.
