Hildur Gudnadottir and Sam Slater's award-winning soundtrack credits include Chernobyl and Joker. The sound-worlds they create caught the attention of the developers of DICE Studios, who knew that the disruptive music Hildur and Sam create would be perfect for Battlefield 2042, set in a world torn apart by weather and technological catastrophes.
Hildur and Sam used found sounds from locations near their home, items around their house, and unusual things like a submarine in France. All these sounds were heavily processed so it's impossible to tell what the original sound was. One especially satisfying process was to create music for a level set in a glass city. Sam and Hidlur created a way to modify Hildur's voice so, as they describe, it sounds like a human made of glass.
Battlefield 2042 will be released in November, 2021, and the soundtrack is out now.
