CHANCE THOMAS SCORES ROGUEBOOK
February 13, 2021

Chance Thomas is scoring ROGUEBOOK, the new online deckbuilder from Magic: The Gathering™ creator Richard Garfield and Abrakham Entertainment.

 

ROGUEBOOK is the brilliantly crafted sequel to the surprising cult hit FAERIA, which Chance also scored.  ROGUEBOOK’s atmosphere is playfully malevolent, reflected abundantly in the new music.  As an example, ROGUEBOOK’s main theme takes FAERIA’s innocent motif and evolves it, twisting the notes towards cryptic apprehension, introducing new dissonances, conjuring undertones of mischievous malice amidst the fanciful gameplay.  

 

The exploratory score is largely ambient, with overdubs from seasoned session musicians. Their performances light up the score with impassioned artistry, blazing across its sonic textures.  The battle music rises from a foundation of epic orchestra overlaid with acoustic guitars, celeste, and electronic elements both magical and brutal.  

 

ROGUEBOOK will be released worldwide on June 24, 2021.  Learn more and pre-order the game now at https://roguebook.net
