ROLE: Composer

DEVELOPER: One More Turn Ltd.

From the mind of acclaimed game designer Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering), Wreckless incorporates the strategic deck-building of a modern card game with the frantic action and pace of quirky racers of the past, like Diddy Kong Racing.

The soundtrack needed to capture a broad palette of zany characters, underpinned by a sense of urgency - all whilst keeping things silly and fun as the art direction. The result is music grounded in fast paced funk, goofy brass lines and quirky synthesizers for both blasting along the racetrack or carefully contemplating your next card choice between races.

Using the central musical motif as much as possible, I also felt it pertinent to try and use instruments associated with childhood such as whistling, the recorder and simple percussion/sounds you might find in a primary school music classroom.
