### Music Composers Interview

**Luna Umegaki (Sound Composer):** "In the boss and stage themes, we incorporated the atmosphere of the various countries into the songs—into the cutscene music, too. We would use different instruments, and eventually scale the main melody to produce a different feeling. Overall, the game's music has a consistent feel, but when you go *here* you get one impression, and *there* you get another impression. I think every location gives off a completely different vibe."

**Ryo Kawakami (Sound Composer):** "I took great care in crafting all the game's tracks, which includes everything from boss and stage themes to the opening and ending. The opening is an introduction to the game's sad and serious tone, so we wanted the music to match that with a dramatic yet dark piece. The opening has a cinematic dynamism—we wanted to match the scene's timing, and we strove to line it up completely with the accompanying music. So, we adjusted the song, down to the tenth of a second. Also, the ending is a very dramatic piece, so I think it will be worth getting there."

**Ippo Yamada (Sound Producer / Composer):** "As this is Inti's first title with a full orchestra, I was mainly in charge of coordinating and joint producing the orchestra recordings. This game has actually been in the making for 10 years already. The game design has changed, the platform has changed, and in that time many different people have been involved. People from Boston, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Malaysia, L.A., Florida, Okinawa... We've had musicians from all over the world contribute already, and it's been a great challenge for Inti. I think this game is a culmination of many things for us. I hope all Inti fans, as well as everyone else, will enjoy listening to our work."

### Building The World of Dragon Marked for Death Through Music

The songs in Dragon Marked For Death are based around the cultures of the 5 continents in the game, each created using a range of different melodies.

* The music for Marlayus uses Pentatonic scale to create a Far Eastern atmosphere that leaves a bright, baroque impression.
	+ Footage was filmed in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
* The music for Hasta has a strong focus on percussion with a primeval vibe that invokes intense feelings of improvisation.
	+ Footage was filmed in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
* The music for Pagnas uses Classical music as a base, with the key features being the use of Dorian scale for the melody and an industrial style rhythm led by brass instruments. This creates a very powerful sound.
	+ Footage was filmed in Bratislava, Slovak Republic.
* The music for Litus has the flute section creating the lead melody. Because of this, it has a traditional Middle Eastern rhythm and scale, with an air of mysteriousness that brings it all together.
	+ Footage was filmed in Prague, Czech Republic.
* The music for Medius, the main, central area of the continent, was created using stringed instruments as the main component with a very orthodox Classical sound to it.
	+ Footage was filmed in Boston, USA.
