Audio Game Music

These pieces of music belong to a living game world — a world of thawing villages, whispering forests, restless rivers, and echoing mountain halls. Each track represents a place, a presence, or a fragment of its history.

The short descriptions offer glimpses of lore: gods worshipped at harvest, forgotten kings beneath stone, spirits moving through water and mist. The images were generated from these descriptions together with the music itself, allowing sound and story to shape the visual world side by side. For the three tavern songs, the imagery instead grew directly from the song lyrics.

The vocals were generated using Suno. The music was composed and the texts were written by Niklas Rönnberg, as part of a master’s thesis by Mirijam Björn at Linköping University exploring audio game design and storytelling.

Forest1 - Beneath the Leaves of Fangwold
Fangwold - The ancient forest, known for creaking trees, murmuring leaves, and voices that seem just out of reach.

Forest2 - Mist Over Morgenwyn
Morgenwyn - A glade with a natural spring in Fangwold, a circular opening where water bubbles from stone and the forest falls unnaturally quiet.

River1 - Acheris Almighty
Acheris - The river, fast, cold, and musical—its sound guides travelers through fog and forest alike.

River2 - Call of the Lirren
The Lirren - Water spirits of the river, playful but dangerous; they sing, splash, and sometimes lure travelers off the path.

Dungeon1 - Beneath Mount Cairndûr
Mount Cairndûr - The great mountain, its deep echoes carry for miles; even the wind sounds heavy near its slopes.

Dungeon2 - Whispers of Pyraemna
Pyraemna - Mother of lava and volcanoes, a whispered name, spoken softly—believed to stir whenever the earth groans or stone cracks.

Dungeon3 - In the Halls of Dòrain
Dòrain - Forgotten dwarven king, builder of the echoing halls beneath the mountain, now remembered only in stone and song.

Battle - Calling Kargan
Kargan - giver of courage when strength fails, and of resolve enough to stand before powers greater than oneself.

Village1 - Arrival of Greenthaw
Greenthaw - The time when ice loosens its grip and life audibly returns—dripping water, birds, soft winds.

Village2 - Under Varn’s Blessing
Varn - The harvest god, revered in taverns and fields alike; thanked at every harvest feast.
