Rune Memory: iPhone Game Soundtrack

Rune Memory is set in a relaxing ‘celtic’ garden. The music was a lot of fun to write, as I had to do some research about the characteristics of celtic music. The meter is 3/4 and features the mixolydian mode (the major with the lowered 7th scale degree). I made sure to pick chords that feature the distinctive lowered seventh note in order to give it a convincing celtic character.

The instrumentation features the harp as the main melodic instrument and full string and brass section for cinematic sections of the track. I also added a touch of bagpipes. I hope you enjoy the game and the music, it’s available in the app store now!
