German musician Mona Mur has been confirmed as the soundtrack composer for the upcoming Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. Mur, an “underground” artist who’s garnered cult status in certain scenes, has worked on games before — she provided select music for Replay Studios’ Velvet Assassin.
She calls the composition process “a long intense trip and alchemistic process,” which sounds like pretentious chat for something or other only Mur really understands.
“The first gameplay video I saw was a sensational setting of phantasmagorical nightmarish Shanghai,” she says, “dark and surreal in a way. I love this kind of stuff. I have always been strongly inspired by Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and the works of David Lynch.”
“I am a big fan of dark and hard crime movies,” she continues, “dirty underground rock n’ roll and all kinds of heavy, edgy but sophisticated pieces of pop culture. That’s where Kane & Lynch belong. And that is my personal artistic realm.”
More on Mur’s process and Lynch’s “sexy tank top” at the official Kane & Lynch site.
