Description

đŸŽ” The Horror of Grimtooth Castle

A dark symphony of dread, collaboration, and storytelling.

By Ivan Duch
In collaboration with Robert Jonsson (Altors Vidder Podcast)
Featuring Ben Trigg and Daniel Chouinard (Cello), Jory Lane (Violin), and Vigilance Brandon (Flugelhorn)

🏰 The Story Behind the Music

The Horror of Grimtooth Castle was born from a shared love for storytelling and sound.

When Robert Jonsson, host of the Swedish Actual Play RPG Podcast Altors Vidder, reached out through my Storytellers Initiative on Patreon, he was looking for something specific — a dark, living soundtrack for his Demoncastle campaign.

Robert’s narrative follows a band of adventurers entering the ancient Grimtooth Castle, home to a family of sadistic trapmakers. But the horrors they find inside transcend mortal cruelty — a demonic infestation has consumed the halls, veins and tentacles pulsating through the walls, binding flesh and stone in unholy symbiosis.

🎧 The Sound of Horror and Hope

I wanted the score to feel like the castle itself was alive.

The entire soundtrack revolves around a few recurring themes that evolve as the story unfolds, creating a cohesive musical narrative.

That’s one of the central ideas behind my Storytellers projects — composing long-form works that trace a journey, where motifs and moods transform alongside the story being told.

To bring this world to life, I collaborated with an ensemble of remarkable musicians:

  • Ben Trigg – Cello
  • Daniel Chouinard – Cello
  • Jory Lane – Violin
  • Vigilance Brandon – Flugelhorn
  • Musiversal.com – Music Contractor

đŸ”„ A Collaboration Between Storytellers

This album isn’t just music for an RPG; it’s a meeting of storytellers across mediums.
Robert’s world of Askerra deeply inspired my music.
