From a sequel to a million-plus-selling indie franchise, this ethereal, meditative score, evokes the scale and solitude of Icelandic landscapes as well as wonder and mystique of Northern Lights.
Drawing on Icelandic minimalism and artists like Björk and Sigur Rós, composer Pav Gekko blends ambient pads, glockenspiel, ebowed guitars, delicate strings and piano with
live-recorded traditional Nordic kulning vocals.
Praised for its distinctive, calm signature sound and interactivity, the soundtrack has received nominations from the G.A.N.G. Awards, Music+Sound Awards, and Hollywood Music in Media Awards, with coverage from Forbes, Variety, and Deadline.
