The composer from the first Mirror’s Edge, Solar Fields, is giving his musical abilities to DICE once again for the new Mirror’s Edge game, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst.
In a post on the official website, Fields outlined a little bit of how he’s approaching putting the soundtrack together. “It all ties into the missions of the game. I’m composing a theme for a specific mission or act. Based on that theme, I’ll create different variations that fit situations like exploration or combat,” He said.
“For changes in situations and moods, I’ll do things like tempo changes or switches between major and minor, but still hang on to the basic feeling of the theme. And all these changes need to happen without gaps.”
The soundtrack from the first game was a big part of the atmosphere and feel of the game. The synths and electronic beats added to the near-future feel and the red and white aesthetic of the game. Fields returning is a good sign for how and where development is currently going with Mirror’s Edge Catalyst!
