Jarboe's music as a soundtrack from play ''The Path''
Goth rock icon JARBOE was chosen to compose the music for the new "The Path" game by Belgian independent game development studio Tale of Tales, to which she gave a brand new and exclusive track. The music she created was processed and arranged by sound designer and musician Kris Force as to make it suitable for realtime in-game mixing. Miss Force has a background in game audio (The Sims) and music ( Amber Asylum) and has collaborated with JARBOE on many occasions - e.g. latest "Mahakali" album. She also created the acclaimed soundscape for Tale of Tales' IGF 2009 finalist "The Graveyard".


"In fact, JARBOE's music has been a very influential guide for the design of the game", the creators of the game comment. "Her combination of childlike innocence and dark horror is the perfect expression of the feelings in the fairy tales that "The Path" is based upon. The sound  of upcoming horror game "The Path" is at least as peculiar as any other element. There are hardly any sound effects in the game. Instead, the entire experience is scored with a continuous musical soundtrack. This music changes in response to the player's actions and position, making every musical moment in the game unique. The free song is therefore only an approximation of the experience of the music in the game. A distillation of its perfume. Like a blossom picked from a tree."
"The Path" is a short horror game inspired by the "Little Red Ridinghood" tale. It features six sisters who are sent to their grandmother's with the clear instruction to stay on the path because the forest is dangerous. The game will be released soon via several digital platforms.
