Music Respawn! In Gwent, Mikolai Stroinski Finds Humor In Monsters

CD Projekt Red

MikolaiStroinski's new music encourages players to lighten up as they "kick each other's butts" playing the soon-to-be-released tavern card game, Gwent, ?an expansion of the world of The Witcher 3 fromCD Projekt Red.

In our conversation, Mikolai said that he really had fun writing slightly tongue in cheek music for the new Monster Deck!

Because of the tunings of the instruments used by the band Percival, all of the music for The Witcher 3 was written in the same key. Mikolai said it was a relief to be able to move to other keys, and explore other moods, while staying true to the musical identities of each faction.

Episode tracklist:

Mikolai Stroinski: Gwent: Gwent, Monster Deck,  Skoia'tell 

Marcin Przybylowicz, Mikolai Stroinski: Witcher 3, Drink Up, There's More!
