The music of Blood of Mehran is deeply rooted in the rich auditory traditions of the Mesopotamian region, drawing from Middle-Eastern diverse cultural heritage.
Ancient instruments such as the Duduk, Sitar, Kamancheh, Tabla, and Daf form the core of our musical palette, bringing an authentic and timeless color to the game's soundtrack. The challenge for the music team was to seamlessly blend these traditional sounds with modern global instruments and electronic music, crafting a new sonic landscape that perfectly complements the game's immersive atmosphere.
One of the central concepts behind the album is the use of a unique melodic progression called "Davvar," which originates back over 700 lunar years. "Davvar" not only signifies dizziness and vertigo but also symbolizes the cyclical nature of life, where events repeat themselves like a never-ending circle.
Vocals, as one of the main elements in traditional music, play a crucial role in conveying emotion. The vocal arrangements in Blood of Mehran are inspired by Persian and Arabic musical modes, designed to evoke a sense of familiarity while creating a calm and warm atmosphere. These vocals accompany players on their journey, enriching the emotional depth behind every note and amplifying the game's immersive experience.
