Hope you likes glitchy-ass orchestras!
Microsoft has released theQuantum Breaksoundtrack for free on Soundcloud, and it’s surprisingly great.
Big budget games have a habit of thinking big games should have big scores with lots of instruments, but then fail to give them the direction needed to have a decent soundtrack. Or worse, they opt forBattlefield-style noise clipping just to make things obnoxiously loud and ‘epic.’
Petri Alanko’sQuantum Breaksoundtrack does fall into that trap sometimes, but there’re still some great tracks too, such as “Dodging Bullets” and “A Whisper.” The glitchiness reminds me a lot of my favourite composer Olivier Derivière’s soundtrack forRemember Me, which was anokaygame withfantasticmusic.
We’ll see howQuantum Breakputs its score to use when it launches on April 5 for Xbox One and PC.
