Josh Whelchel previews soundtrack for crowdfunded game project

Josh Whelchel is a versatile indie composer and record producer known for his work on titles such as The Spirit Engine, GunGirl, and Ravenmark. His latest game project is Masquerada: Songs and Shadows, an RPG set in a Venetian-inspired city where songs take a central role in life:

“In the turmoil-ridden Citte della Ombre, religion holds no sway. Only the songs sung of one’s deeds will carry an Ombrian’s legacy beyond death. […] Songs being as vital as they are to the culture of Citte della Ombre, we needed someone who could do justice to the complexities and drama of this world we built.”

A preview of Whelchel’s soundtrack for the title can be heard below. Those interested in the project can back its ongoing Kickstarter campaign, the rewards of which include digital copy of the official soundtrack for those who pledge 20 USD or more.
