Neal Acree scores Revelation Online
2014 proved to be one of Neal Acree's busiest years to date with work on 7 games including 3 for Chinese game giant Netease. The first of these games to be announced is Revelation Online aka Tianyu, an Asian themed fantasy MMORPG set in a beautiful open world that players can experience through free flight. The game begins open beta in China on 1/15/15 with eventual plans for worldwide distribution.
Neal's melodic and evocative Asian themed score for Revelation features performances by Karen Han (who played erhu for John Williams on Memoirs of a Geisha), Tina Guo (cello), Bei Bei (guzheng), Jie Ma (pipa) and the Northwest Sinfonia. The music was engineered by Jorge Velasco and recorded and mixed by the legendary John Kurlander.
A full soundtrack will be available later this year but in the mean time, please check out this sneak peek of the main theme:
