The music for each island is presented as a suite, containing several movements that layer upon one another and build up to a climax, each with its own distinctive tone and feel, much like the islands themselves, which range from green meadows, to arid deserts, volcanoes, and beyond. The music, composed solely by Tomoya Ohtani, is often stripped down, melancholic, and unexpectedly experimental, featuring an array of unusual sound sources (including Iranian percussion, Celtic vocal samples, and Armenian folk instruments). In other moments, it is often rhythmic and emotive, with the addition of subtle electronics and the grandiose strings of\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e The Nashville Scoring Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this release is by no means the complete soundtrack to\u003cem\u003e Sonic Frontiers\u003c\/em\u003e, we are thrilled to be able to present these beautiful and intriguing tracks as a collection on their own.
