A very important part of the #SpiritoftheNorth2 score is its interactivity.
Whether it’s a change in time of day, emotional state, or biome, the soundtrack subtly shifts to reflect what’s happening.

Music is more important for a sense of completion than you might think. In Spirit of the North 2 puzzle-solving and progression moments are marked by music — short stingers or subtle thematic returns.

What do Scandi noir and Icelandic music have to do with Spirit of the North 2?
I leaned into the musical worlds I’ve always loved as an artist and producer: textured minimalism of contemporary Icelandic music.
