Sound
We’re all about high quality-audio and breathing life into the world of games through technical know how, deep knowledge and experience of game development – and ofcourse experience in our field of making sound. Atmosphere is the key to not just immersion but emotion as well.
Music
Two Feather’s heart have always been composing and producing music for games. So far we’ve explored everything from lively balkan music, chip-tunes and heavy rock tracks to flowing big orchestral pieces to just a smaller string quartet. Whatever the future brings, we are up for the challenge!
Implementation
In order for any music or sound to reach a polished and quality delivery to the player, implementation is key. We have the technical knowledge with engines like Unity or Unreal as well using C# coding creating audio- systems such as reverb-, footstep or dynamic music-management. In our hands we can make every step of the way happen from our own studio or directly from your office.
We are:
Two Feathers, a studio that specialises in music and sound for games only. This composer duo consists of Elvira Björkman and Nicklas Hjertberg, bringing their experience of working with a wide range of game titles, varying from successful indie-games to big-scale AAA-titles. With the idea to contribute to the game industry, with indie especially in mind, they planted the seed of Two Feathers Studio in late 2012 and has already grown well known within the games industry through their music work with the indie-smash hit Hammerwatch that sold over 800 000 copies, the widely known Angry Birds 2 with over 200 million downloads and Aragami the beautifully hand painted stealth game to PS4.
We’re proud of:
Being an integral part of the game industry. During our 5 years of business we’ve released both big and small to various platforms such as Mobile, PC, Ps4, VR-devices and Nintendo Switch. Here’s a list of a few selections we would like to bring up:
At the moment:

Aragami: Shadow Edition for Nintendo Switch is out.
APEX CONSTRUCT is celebrating a full year of public existence! Give the team som love at Apex Construct Game 🙂
To share something more personal about our experience working with the game, something that stood out was how challenging working with sound for VR was! The approach felt very different from the very get-go, and lots of details that we wouldn't normally think of, suddenly became the most important parts. Like how a door-hinge sound has to come from the actually hinges and not just the door, and how we have to have different sounds depending on how rough or careful the player opens the door or handle it in VR. Same thing with drawers and everything else you interacted with. Everything needed a multitude of layers of design to make sense!
To also create the atmosphere between silence and music was a very creative process to balance. Or very challenging to restrain ourselves from writing too much music rather! Like in the movie "Amadeus" we often had "Too many notes"!
As a result, the music in the soundtrack are mostly shorter stingers that play only to highlight important emotional moments in the game, rather than being longer background tracks. Here is one of our favourites which was the first one we wrote. It plays when you look out at the world for the first time.
In short. It was really fun. 🙂
Apex Construct - A World Torn Apart
soundcloud.com
The original soundtrack to Apex Construct. Composed by Elvira Björkman & Nicklas Hjertberg, also known as Two Feathers. Mixed by: Chris Elms.
Fun fact I bought this game because I thought it was apex legends :), but ended up loving the game regardless I loved the music also and now I find out the composers are the same people who created the greatest game soundtrack in history ....which is ARAGAMI! Either this is a huge coincidence or I am just drawn to anything Two Feathers creates
