Title music for Stagecraft

Design brief

Tribe Studios is creating Stagecraft, which is a service for high-quality movie-length games. All the games are multiplayer games where the players act their characters and create unique stories through their co-operation and conflict.

The first Stagecraft story happens on a luxury yacht. All the characters have their own reasons to have boarded the cruise and various actions can happen during the evening. It is like James Bond and Titanic mixed.

The mood of the scenery consists of quality materials (like teak, shiny metal, velvet and silk) as well as cocktails on the bar and romantic lightning. Think about Campari on diamonds.

The theme music for the game should consist of ingredients like opera, jazz, piano, hard rock and guitar. Overall we want big emotions like passion and excitement. We would like twists and turns, high points and low points that create a dramatic arc.

The James Bond themes The World is not Enough by Garbage and Casino Royale are examples of the types of themes we would like to get. The music should contain a recognizable theme that can be used elsewhere.

What we don’t want includes rap, country, trance, house, heavy metal or too sugary music like Celine Dion.

This piece of music will be the background music of the opening titles. This includes animations and mood scenes from the game itself. The theme will be used in marketing materials and key moments during the story. It might also get incorporated into background music.
