The storybook world of Moss is in danger once again, and it's up to the small but fierce mouse, Quill, to navigate the dangers and defeat a fearsome foe who threatens to destroy everything in Polyarc Games' Moss Book II. Composer Jason Graves, who also composed the score for the original Moss, says the larger scope of the game, and the super-sized intensity of the enemies demanded larger instruments as well. He swapped a violin with a cello, the harp for a piano, and added dozens of wind instruments as well as two types of bazoukis.
Moss Book II has a more emotional story as well, with Quill experiences moments of heartbreaking loss and self-doubt. Jason says composing music for these was an emotional roller-coaster. He was very reluctant to finally come to the end of the soundtrack, because he says the entire team at Polyarc are so wonderful to work with, and Quill is such an incredibly deep character.
Jason's soundtrack is available on music streaming sites, and you can pre-order a CD or vinyl copy fromBandcamp.
