The soundtrack
Danca produced the original soundtrack for Among the Trolls, the first-person survival adventure from AvantGarden Games, published by 505 Games and out on Steam on 14 October 2026. The score is by Daniele Carmosino.
Real instruments, bent past recognition
No folklore, no kantele: a deliberately small palette, recorded for real and then repitched, distorted and re-amped until the sources stopped resembling themselves.
- Piano, played by Mark Aanderud on Daniele’s Soviet upright
- Cello, acoustic and electric, with Christof Unterberger
- A Prophet 10 by Sequential, strings and voices
“Endless Exile”
The song that carries the player through the opening walk in the forest, sung by Maria Chiara Argirò — who stayed for two more tracks of the soundtrack.
Music that answers the player
Written in stackable layers and built in Wwise: as lykky — the islands’ life-energy — rises and falls, layers come and go in real time, and combat lands on top, sharing their harmony and tempo.
