Welcome to the soundscape of 1998!

"Knights and Merchants Revisited" is playlist/album where I recreate the soundtrack of this beloved game.

Listening to the old sound files it quickly became apparent that the quality of those songs sound quite oldskool and degraded. Rescoring them with modern instruments/technology greatly increases listening quality. It was a blast to figure out how the songs were built up back then. Taking some liberties in creating my own versions of those songs was the ultimate goal.

Enjoy! And leave some comments if you have some feedback!

"Spirit" is one of the most iconic soundtracks on the original Knights and Merchants OST. Did you know that the main motif was actually Mozart's? Its Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major. Timeless classic.

"The Princess" has such a melancholic sound to it. I dramatized this song a little bit further by actually incorporating 'her' voice. I always envision her lonely in her tower with nothing more then a small toy music box.

Your town is on fire! The enemies are targeting your Keep! Focus up!

"Struggle" is pure chaos. The original track goes all over the place,  so i tried making the song a little bit more stable. I did however put in all the small blemishes this track needs to stand out. Adding a string section also enhances the feeling of impending doom.

"At Court" is a reimagination of Mozart's Sonata No. 11 in A Major. Its clear that the original composer took quite some inspiration from Mozart and likeminded composers.

"In The Castle" has such a strong brass opening I had to do it justice. I also played a bit with the ending and gave it a brassy exit. Hope you'll enjoy it!
