July 27^th, 2006 (11:27pm) - Paradox Interactive has revealed the composer of the soundtrack for their next strategy title release, Perimeter: Emperor’s Testament.

Famous Russian musician Andrey Komarov, a.k.a. Vishudha Kali (V.K.), has been selected as the composer for Perimeter: Emperor’s Testament. During his ten years of composing, V.K. has created six albums of various musical styles, ranging from martial electronic noise to mystical ambient.

During the process of creating the game’s tracks, a diverse number of tools were used, including not only the electronic sound of modern synthesizers, but also analog synthesizers and electro-organs, bells, fisgarmonics, stones and various handmade instruments. Some tracks also contain special guttural singing by V.K. himself.

In this project, V.K. has utilized the same ideas that had been the basis for his early industrial/noise and underground albums.

The soundtrack for the game contains 10 tracks, or about an hour of original material, which is based on the principles of "psychoacoustics". During mission briefings, the music relaxes player; conversely, the music will maintain a vice-like grip players throughout action sequences.

An additional track – the theme for the game’s main menu -- has been written and performed by another Russian composer and musician, Andrey Gladkov, a former member of the famous electronic band, "Los Chikatillos".
