Aesop Rock has released a new video game soundtrack to space shooter Freedom Fighter. The project started as an instrumental soundtrack, with three full songs added to the concept later on, with a physical release in mind.
Aesop Rock says:
I was approached by my old friend Travis Millard to make some original music for Freedom Finger - a crazy space-shooter video game he had been developing with Jim Dirschberger and Wide Right Interactive game studio,” states Aesop. “I provided some instrumentals that pop up at various points throughout the gameplay. As the game was being rolled out, the idea arose to have me do three more tracks - this time fully fleshed out songs with lyrics inspired by Freedom Finger’s gameplay. These tracks were intended to accompany some brand new levels that would be made available as downloadable content for the game.
