About the project
Astrea is one of those games that captivates us with its visuals at first sight. I remember when Rafael invited me to join the project, he mentioned that the main musical reference would be the legendary Japanese composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, known for creating the iconic soundtrack of Final Fantasy Tactics, which I loved. He told me my role would be to work on musical arrangements based on the themes he was composing, all orchestral with a blend of shimmering synthetic elements.
At that time, another team member, Narek, was already working on the arrangements and was doing an amazing job, capturing the characteristic writing of classic JRPGs. Together with him, I worked on enhancing the sound quality of the virtual instruments, and later we had the opportunity to record strings with a European chamber orchestra. I was also responsible for transcribing and organizing the scores and recordings of this additional material, which ultimately added a lot to the final result.
