For Nordischsound, composing music for an RPG has always been a dream. Now, with the opportunity to craft the soundtrack for Kouyate, that dream is becoming a reality—and he couldn’t be happier.
Music in role-playing games isn’t just background noise; it’s the emotional core that guides players through adventure, tension, and sorrow. Every note has the power to shape the experience, making moments more impactful and immersive.
One such piece is the Sad Theme, a composition designed to capture a deeply heartfelt moment in the game. With the nostalgic warmth of the C64 SID chip, Nordischsound set out to create something both melancholic and reflective—an audio journey that tugs at the heartstrings while staying true to the classic soundscape of retro gaming.
