Project Details
The Garo Mythic Skin, titled First Symphony Garo, reimagines the hero through a majestic orchestral design, intertwining music-inspired visuals with dynamic in-game effects. The concept portrays Garo as both the performer and embodiment of the symphony of creation—a divine narrative expressed through music.
The story begins before the concept of time itself, when the gods gifted three movements to the universe: one for life, one for prosperity, and one foretelling the end. Garo is the musician who performs these symphonies, shaping the destiny of the world through her strings. This mythic skin captures her sacred role, blending tragedy, grandeur, and renewal.
Musically, the score was conceived as a cello concerto in four condensed movements, capturing Garo’s compassion and divinity through orchestral power:
– Symphonic writing at the core, presenting grandeur and elegance
– Cello as the voice of Garo, both intimate and majestic, performed by Ding Yutong
– FAME’S Studio Orchestra, conducted by Oleg Kondratenko, recorded with full orchestral depth
– Refined orchestration by Juan Forero, highlighting lyrical textures and dramatic intensity
– World-class production team, with mixing by Joël Dollié and recording supervision by VNTA
The result is a soundtrack that embodies both the sacred and human sides of creation, echoing the line: “This is not a hymn for the gods—it is a song for life itself.”
