THE SETTLERS: NEW ALLIES Original Game Soundtrack

Composer Chance Thomas and fingerstyle guitarist Antoine Dufour lead an army of musicians in a rousing reimagining of THE SETTLERS franchise.  Fiery acoustic guitars create a distinctive signature for this soundtrack, supported by folk ensemble and full orchestra.  

Revolutionary music design and technology create another signature, as the game score is built from 16,327 Lego-like musical building blocks – melodic gestures, harmonic fragments, arrangement layers, color variations, short rhythmic patterns, all assembled together in real time to create a one-of-a-kind listener experience.

THE SETTLERS: NEW ALLIES presents an extraordinary technical and artistic achievement.    

We offer this soundtrack as a snapshot of concurrences, dynamic threads of music woven together spontaneously, seized in fleeting moments, never to be recreated in exactly this way ever again.  Exploratory music flows seamlessly through points of player discovery and unlocked achievement, all interactively highlighted by the assembled musical fragments.  Battle scenes ebb and flow with evolving music phrases, orchestration layers, and dynamic pathing.  There are variations for every circumstance.  The main theme and cinematic cutscenes are the only parts of the score that are through-composed.  Everything else is entirely assembled from 16,327 Lego-like musical building blocks.  Capturing all these possibilities within a single OST (or dozens of OST's) would be impossible.  Thus each track on this OST captures a single moment in time, combining short phrases, score fragments, layers, and/or variations of musical ornamentation, all spawned by the game’s procedural music design.  A lasting imprint from endless possibilities!
