We're only a little more than two days away from the release of Quantum Break on PC and Xbox One, and Microsoft is really cranking up the hype machine. Now they've published nine songs from the soundtrack over at Soundcloud, so head over there and listen.
Gamespot has also talked to the composer of the game, Petri Alanko, who "got involved very early on, right from the very beginning, when they merely had only a few presentations and a few tech demos."
He reveals that Microsoft didn't want any orchestral music in the game:
"I was hoping I would've been able to arrange a few orchestral sessions, but I think it was Microsoft's decision to leave orchestras out almost totally. I managed to squeeze in some, however, but they're there to give some flavors and tones, and actually mixed quite far in the back, to spread the overall sound."
Alanko says this wasn't hurting his work at all, but rather served as an inspiration:
"Leaving orchestra further away didn't really affect my work at all: I happen to like sandboxes and given limits. If you give a kid a Sahara, he'll get lost in a snap. Put him into a sandbox, and he'll build a kingdom. Since we felt we should head elsewhere from Alan Wake's sonic environment, it felt natural: let's go electronic, and I enjoyed the whole trip greatly."
