The Music of Streets of New Capenna: Augury and Larceny (Obscura Theme) | Magic the Gathering

Drawing heavily from Film Noir, classic Hollywood, and a healthy dose of The Godfather, the music I’ve written for this album is meant to be a sort of film soundtrack for a non-existent film set in New Capenna. My aim was to take a slightly different approach than establishing the vibe of the plane, instead looking to score it like a noir film and explore all the most iconic musical stylings of the era. each track highlights one of the five families, with each track referencing back to the Main Theme as well as occasionally crossing motifs with other families’ songs. Thanks so much for checking this project out, and I’ll see you on the Streets of New Capenna! #NewCapenna #MagicTheGathering #Obscura Link to the YT Playlist of all six tracks: Spotify: Download the album FOR FREE / pay-what-you-want: Augury and Larceny (Obscura Theme); Cunning, underhanded, secretive... CONNIVING? eh? Of all the families, the Obscura might have had the most interesting fabric to work with: the sleuth/thief/spy side of things, but also with the mystical and prophetic. Inspired by detective films and spy films, this track is meant to be subtle and sinister (a different side of the coin of ther cousins, the Maestros, who operate with similar subtly and sinister methods).
