Asadi – Rogue Prince Of Persia: Original Soundtrack (2-LP Vinyl)
Asadi Vinyl Records
Product Details
Persian-American composer Asadi has built a reputation bridging the ancient and the electronic, drawing on the classical traditions of Iranian music while working firmly in contemporary production spaces. Scoring a major action platformer offered a rare opportunity to bring instruments like the tar and oud into a context where millions of players would encounter them, often for the first time.
Ubisoft, Evil Empire, and Laced Records return to save the kingdom once again, bringing the scintillating soundtrack for The Rogue Prince of Persia to vinyl. Like the game itself, the music of The Rogue Prince of Persia emphasizes agility and forward motion, reverberating with mystic power. Persian-American composer and producer ASADI dexterously blends traditional sounds with contemporary production techniques, crafting lithe melodies using the Persian tar, setar, oud, saz, and tanbur that glide atop undulating, earth-shaking bass and snaking trap beats, with instruments weaving around each other in a carefully choreographed dance. ASADI's compositions are bolstered by collaborators including master players of Persian instruments: percussionist Naghib Shanbehzadeh's rhythmic flourishes provide the perfect counterpoint to ASADI's electronic beats and Daf drums, while Shaho Andalibi's Persian Ney lines add a heady dose of mystic energy. Keyboard virtuoso Brockett Parsons lends talents to "Ashes of Knowledge" with rippling synthesizer lines, and striking vocal performances lend the soundtrack a distinct sense of mythos-from Alex Fitzpatrick's guttural throat singing to singer XYE's cinematic lyricism on the euphoric main theme and "God Under the Rubble."
