Talks & sessions

Narrative through music

Jan will talk about his composing work for Kingdom Come: Deliverance I & II. How the dramaturgical decisions for a soundtrack in a vast, open-world RPG game are made, what are the musical elements which deliver the information to the player, how the storytelling in cutscenes is supported by the use of leitmotifs in music… and also how to put an entire medieval town of Kuttenberg into a musical score.
