Since its launch in February, Smalland: Survive the Wilds has enchanted players across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, amassing over 7,000 glowing reviews. While its lush visuals and immersive gameplay have captured attention, one standout element has been its breathtaking soundtrack.
Now, Maximum Entertainment invites fans behind the scenes with a brand-new video that showcases the creation of an orchestral rendition of Smalland’s iconic music. Led by composer Pav Gekko and performed by the Limelight Orchestra, this special performance gives fans a deeper appreciation for the intricate melodies that define the game’s fairytale charm.
From day one, Smalland’s score has been a cornerstone of its magical atmosphere. Inspired by classical music and cinematic greats, Pav Gekko’s soundtrack blends neo-classical orchestration with vintage tones to evoke a whimsical, nostalgic feel. The behind-the-scenes video captures the passion poured into crafting this lush soundscape, featuring Gekko alongside fellow composer Ryan Williams (Dead Island 2) and talented local musicians.
Gekko describes the soundtrack as “a lush, deliberately old-fashioned sound with vibrant orchestral colors.” Drawing from iconic symphonic adventure scores of the 1980s, it transports players into a tiny hero’s grand journey through Smalland’s enchanting world. Tracks like “Main Theme,” “Elixir of Life,” and “Enchanted Forest” bring a unique, fairytale-like energy that makes Smalland unforgettable.
