I can honestly say I've never attempt a score anything like this. The Creative Director and a true kindred spirit, Andrea Pessino, had said early on that he imagined something "epic but whimsical." Embrace the silly but make it huge.
Even despite the openness of that direction, I remain astonished by just how much free reign Andrea and the devs at Ready at Dawn gave me. I came back with "what about an Italian western on steroids, mixed with psychotic circus music and flamenco?" No one seemed to bat an eye, and so here we are!
As is often the case with my writing, this really is all about the soloists and this score I think packs more talent into it than any other I've attempted. At the front of group is Ksenija Sidorova, undoubtedly the world's greatest accordionist. I could never overstate the joy in discovering her playing, and then collaborating to create this minor accordion showpiece. Alongside her are guitarist Scott Tennant and violinist Sandy Cameron, similarly peerless musicians. It goes on from there, including many other soloists plus the superb orchestral musicians of both London and Macedonia.
Having the chance to write music which is fun for fun's sake, with such a wild palette, and in collaboration with such tremendous human beings is something I don't take for granted. I could never say thank you enough.
Oh, and don't ask about Troy Baker's narration. I have no explanation.
