“We don’t know who broke the world, but we know what weapon they used.
In the year 1990, the United States of America fired a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, immediately killing millions and poisoning the land, air and water for years.
The scarce few survivors were forced into hiding. About 50,000 people fled to the relative safety of the Moscow Metro, with smaller numbers following suit in cities like Novosibirsk, Volgograd, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Samara and others.” This game was created by ¡Hipólita! in association with PLUS ONE EXP. You can find it here.
I was fortunate enough to choose a project to write music for, and how could I say no to RAD? I talked with ¡Hipólita! about the themes of the game and eventually we decided to go for a run-down, conerned-for-the-future folk song, which I could not have been more excited about. After writing the lyrics, I sent the piece off, we tweaked a few things and then I set about recording the piece with acoustic instruments. I hope you enjoy
