on Music for Cyberpunk 2077!!! Hell Yea! Balls to the Wall Baby!
Really Balls to the Wall is like Nine Inch Nails Head like a Hole or Hamayaski Evolution.
We’re marrying “cyber” with “punk” — these are our two main pillars for music direction. “Cyber” centers around sonic texture of the score — our sound palette is raw, dirty, synthesized, sometimes even futuristic. “Punk” is all about the attitude of music — rebellious, ballsy and impulsive. Night City shimmers with colors and so is the music — we’re not limiting ourselves to one specific genre. Instead, we’re drawing from all sorts of styles to craft unique mix that drives the narrative and provides additional layers of context to the story
one of the problems when taking jobs is your vision is not the directors vision. You might compose something and they might go how about this or can we change this etc.
When some one says were are drawing on all sorts of styles and doesn't even give a concise explanation of where and how those styles will be used you know it's going to be mess.
Give you an example. An alley , full of poor homeless people, the Music is synths, EP, and a Sax.
Then we have A Huge Battle coming up your running to it and the music is Some Distorted Rhythm with an Ethnic Choir popping in over the drums bass and Synths.
A Bar with some hard Industrial Rock.
That's Eclectic but with focus on each area and creating a mood, emotion for that scene or area.
