Kingdom Come - Adaptive Music

In a Game Developer Session at GDS2015, Warhorse Studios' Adam Sporka talks about the music in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

The music in our game responds to the actions of the player. It goes from peaceful to agitated when the player is attacked by enemy NPC, from neutral to dark when entering a cave, etc. The challenge is to respond swiftly, make the transitions between parts of the soundtrack as seamless as possible (maintain the correct voicing and harmonic progressions), and above all, have diverse yet consistent soundtrack.
