Original Boss Theme made with the Korg Wavestation EX.
This boss fight has the player entering into a linear cutscene, and then the boss battle itself. I scored this theme in a film scoring way by composing and creating to the footage. I used layers of strings and some apple loops hits to emphasize the linear cutscene revealing the creature.
The primary sound here is coming from 3 different patches I layered and mixed together with the hardware synth, the Korg Wavestation EX.
The main character sounds are 2 different string patches I blended into one another. One is large and strong and adds the cinematic horror, while the other is more stable and retro sounding with a slight melancholy.
The first sound in the track is a low, purculating dark synth mixed with the industrial atmosphere I added.
I used cluster chords and semi tone tensions throughout to really add a tense and thick horror element. When the player gains control and the boss fight begins, I have a mechanical rhythm come in that let's the player feel "it's time to fight."
Throughout the whole track here, from entering the door into the room to after the danger is over, I have my own custom made atmosphere - this sound is an industrial atmospheric real additive I created for the game Creatures of War. I use this to add emersion, as well as saturation and glue for the track. I like how after the battle, the music dies down, and the player is left with this atmosphere that sounds like it fits in the environment.
