However, Zur wanted to push the boundaries not only in what sounds gamers would easily recognize but also sounds that could be snuck into the game that changes the mood without it being too obvious. Check it out below.īelieve it or not the theme in the Soundcloud embed at the top of the article also contains an accordion, amongst other odd choices in instruments. However, they also have a video of Zur playing the Fallout 4 theme raw on a grand piano, where you can hear the “bright” and “harsh” sound live. That's the sound you hear above in the Soundcloud embed. The piano will stay with us throughout the whole score. This is not a mistake or just a random choice. “You also hear it first in the main theme. So following that lead on, there are multiple times that I use this,” Zur says. I created a combination between a real piano and an electric piano sound, A sound that is really round and not bright at all but very lush. Howard approved of the electric piano combination. Zur opted to add a more warm feeling to the sound by combining the piano with an electric piano to give the theme the same intimate weight of a piano but with the more relaxed and warm legato tone. It was too “bright” and “harsh” for Howard's tastes. However, game director Todd Howard wasn't entirely keen on the way the piano sounded. The intimacy of the piano's tone helps bring the story to life through the soundtrack. According to Zur, the piano adds a very personal tone to the score and he felt this was necessary because Fallout 4 is a very personal story for the player. If you're noticing that the piano seems really pronounced over the other instruments, it's because Zur really wanted it in there, amongst other instruments. You can hear how the main theme of the game sounds with Bethesda's Soundcloud embed below. The music tracks were posted over on the official Bethesda website, where they also did a detailed article going “behind the score” with composer Inon Zur, as he explains the process and some of the instruments involved with bringing Fallout 4's soundtrack to life.
