Rise of the Rōnin
Thu February 8th
Inon is announced as the composer for Rise of the Rōnin, developed by Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja and published by Sony PlayStation. This epic open-world action RPG is set in late 19th century Japan during Bakumatsu, the final years of the Edo period.
“To reflect the game’s unique world, story and gameplay, I drew upon the musical influences of the period, recording authentic Japanese instrumentation with soloists and percussion players like The Isaku Kageyama Taiko Group and blending with the European symphonic tradition recorded at Abbey Road Studios (see Behind The Scenes Episode 1 video) to represent the influx of western influence, whilst embodying a respectful approach to the traditional Japanese instrumentation and musical legacy of the period.” – Inon Zur
