Official Soundtrack for The Palace on the Hill, composed by Srikant Krishna

• Welcome to Vir’s World

This is the opening track and represents the environment of the game. It is 4

minutes long and encompasses the game’s geographical nativity, represented

by indigenous instruments like Table, Flute, earthly Percussions etc. After the

music was composed and produced, a talented Flautist weaved his magic with

some expressive playing and brought life to the track.

• Gardening in the Holidays

This track brings a pleasant feeling and gently transitions the player into the

game’s core idea – gardening. Instruments chosen (like Harp, Hangdrum, Flute,

Shakers etc.) have a mix of ambient and rural vibe, thereby immediately

resonating with the visuals and capturing the essence of nature’s harmony.

• Midnight Hues

The sublime vibe and serenity of a night’s ambience is captured in this track.

Containing soft synth pads, reverberating elements and a gentle pulse, it has

an electronic identity, and is yet organic and connecting to nature in a way. A

blend of meditative and modern soundscape does justice to the track’s name

and creates an immersive auditory experience.

• Venture into the Jungle

All the mystic, enthralling and explorative characteristics of a forest are

captivated in this track. It has a balance of nature sounds (like insects and

birds) and subtle percussions in a minimalistic way, designed to evoke a forest-

like atmosphere. Log drums mimic the pulse of the forest, while the Bass Flute

and subtle melodic elements add an earthy, tribal feel.

• Palace Ruins

This track was a challenge to create, since it needed to have a royal as well as a

puzzling mood at the same time. It comes at a climactic juncture of the game,

when the player discovers a hidden, lost palace. The soundscape, which

includes Sitar and Pakhawaj, is synonymous to the majestic nature of Indian

Palaces and the rich musical tradition.

• Boating in the Lake

Imagining the tranquil and serene nature of boating in a lake under a star-lit

night sky was inspiration enough to create this track. The canvas of the track is

a Zen-inspired and contemporary soundscape, with an interesting pulse as a

base, to keep it moving throughout. Subtle electronic elements add a modern

twist to the calmness of the track.

• Quest Accomplished

A happy note to end on was the intention behind creating this track. It

seamlessly merges an ethnic vibe with an electronic pulse that makes it

engaging with a pleasant tone. As the game ends and the player completes a

sequence of achievements to win the game, the music also enriches the feeling

of sweet victory.
