Music samples released for Deriviere’s Bound By Flame

Last time we heard from Olivier Deriviere, he was busy working on Focus Home Interactive’s upcoming RPG Bound by Flame. Several hours of original music was created for the game. The music embraces many different styles and also enhances the somber and unique atmosphere that is the hallmark of this epic RPG. Today we finally have some samples and a new video to share with you. In the video, we are introduced to the voice of the game, Iré Zhekova, and Deriviere goes into detail as to what he wanted from the overall score.

From the samples, you can hear how Deriviere once again channels his talents for vocal compositions. The video describes how he combined a murmuring choir with the clear sound of a single voice full of emotion to produce a sense of contrast between the game hero and the flame demon possessing him. An imaginary language was invented for Iré’s singing to explore the human voice and express emotions beyond the meaning of words and to express feelings of hope and fear.
