Nordischsound returns with an all-new SID composition, previewing music from the upcoming Commodore 64 RPG Kouyate. Shared recently by developer Sarah Jane Avory on Bluesky, this early audio-visual teaser showcases gameplay footage paired with Nordischsound’s rich SID soundtrack—created specifically for Kouyate using the legendary MOS6581 sound chip.
The preview video offers fans a brief but memorable glimpse into what awaits in Avory’s latest RPG project. While gameplay details remain under wraps, the featured track already hints at a moody and immersive atmosphere. True to Nordischsound’s signature style, the melody layers expressive arpeggios, pulsing basslines, and dynamic filters that push the SID chip to its melodic limit. For fans of retro RPGs, this music clip alone is reason to get excited.
Meanwhile, Sarah Jane Avory—best known for Zeta Wing and Briley Witch Chronicles—continues to build anticipation for Kouyate. Though still in development, her recent social media activity suggests rapid progress on the game. Combined with this musical reveal, it’s clear that Kouyate is shaping up to be another standout C64 release.
To hear how Nordischsound transforms a SID chip into a storytelling instrument—and to see snippets of Avory’s latest project in motion—this preview is a must-watch for 8-bit music lovers and C64 gamers alike.
