關於此內容

The official soundtrack for Joon Shining is a feast of rarely heard instruments, enchanting melodies and novel ensembles evoking the mysterious and death-defying ambience of Dodo Archipelago.

Beginning with Joon's whispering violin melody as she dares to defy the Spectre of Extinction, the music winds its way through an adventurous array of instruments and ensembles as Joon explores the diverse environments of Dodo Archipelago. Echoing Joon's magical quest to reanimate extinct dodos, composer Angus Barnacle has written the score for all-but-forgotten instruments such as the conch shell horn, bone clap-sticks and ancient hunting whistles, as well as medieval treasures such as sack butts, lutes, harpsichords and viols.

He has further taken care to employ archaic ‘just intonation’ tunings that were rendered more or less extinct when equal temperament was adopted during the nineteenth century, breathing new life into a diversity of forgotten intervals just as Joon breathes new life into the diversity of the fauna on Dodo Archipelago


REVIEWS
"A considered and alarmingly original soundtrack to an equally unique game. Romanticism, waltz time, vast array of exotic instrumentation allows for an expansive and adventurous listen. Recurring melodic themes are intertwined in vastly changing stylistic leaps from piece to piece to great effect. Fractured blues and jazz intonations are merged with a whole pastiche of textures and sounds"
