Kirkhope - Viva Piñata

Tranquil, pastoral music for a gentle video game.

Video games are usually synonymous with adrenaline-pumping action, thrilling spectacle and bombastic music but Viva Piñata is a different breed altogether. 

Tasking players with cultivating a garden to attract confectionary-based creatures, Viva Piñata might look cute as a (chocolate) button, but can be quite the challenge for even the most experienced gamer. 

Kirkhope’s pastoral score, based on favourite composers Vaughan Williams and Elgar, covers bright mornings, hazy evenings and the tranquil hours of night in one rewardingly peaceful listen.
