AIKA soundtrack released (made by Penumbra team members)! - Mikko - 11-15-2008

Hello there!

You might find this interesting.

Yesterday we released a novel soundtrack project called AIKA. Shortly said, AIKA is an atmospheric orchestral soundtrack wrapped around a philosophically inspired science fiction story written by Tom Jubert (Penumbra writer). Its scenes are described by the moody music composed by Mikko Tarmia (Penumbra composer), Paul Houseman, Michael Law and Ari Pulkkinen. Lavish illustrations, created by Tuija Fagerlund, will accompany the music and story.

More info can be found at AIKA's official website www.thesoundoffiction.com/AIKA.

Don't miss it! Wink

So, what is this AIKA?

A game? Book? Movie? (This soundtrack is for it, but what is it?)

Thanks for asking!

It's a soundtrack for short story (a combination of book and music CD). The actual story can be found inside the CD's booklet. Music in the CD then describes the scenes of the story and makes the overall experience richer than just reading a plain book. No spoken dialogue is included, only music (so it's not an audio book).

Hopefully this made it clear Smile
