Welcome to the Orchestral Small-sound

Stockholm, Sweden– December 3, 2024 | With a combined 7,000 reviews on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox, Smalland: Survive the Wilds has captured the imagination of players around the globe since its launch in February this year – and a large part of that is thanks to its stunning sound. A sound that’s only going to get better! 

Maximum Entertainment is excited to reveal a behind-the-scenes video that follows the (perhaps appropriately-named) composer, Pav Gekko, and his orchestra; as they create a special orchestral version of the stunning sound behind Smalland!

The game has had regular updates since its release, but the cornerstone to everything in Smalland is its compelling score and even that’s now being updated too. Bringing this world to life in so many ways, this behind-the-scenes video from the special Orchestral performances captures the love and care that was put into creating such a vibrant sound for this beloved title.

Pav Gekko has created a Smalland soundtrack that is inspired by classical music and the greats from the world of cinema. He appears in the video alongside fellow composer Ryan Williams (Dead Island 2), who joined to observe the orchestra, and musicians from the local area that help to give the elf-like hero of Smalland their own Hollywood-style score.

“It is important that the music in games of the highest quality,” says Pav Gekko, “The Smalland soundtrack stands out with its lush, deliberately old-fashioned sound, neo-classical orchestration, and vintage treatment that capture the magical, whimsical atmosphere of the game’s world. Inspired by iconic symphonic adventure scores of the 1980s, it blends nostalgic action-adventure idioms with a fresh, fairytale-like quality and vibrant orchestral colours. This approach transports listeners into the world of Smalland, where a tiny elf-like character embarks on a grand journey.”

Make like a cricket and hop on over to the PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X|S stores to check out this delightful title today. For those looking to treat their ears to some of the tantalising singles, head over to Pav Gekko’s Spotify to hear more.
