Season 4 Teaser

So if you listen carefully the music is based on Twisted Marionette soundtrack

especially the ending, the rhythm is based on this wonderful piece (Listen to the drum).

And something that sounds like clock or something like that- it also first appeared in Twisted Marionette soundtrack.

So there is Lion's Arch destruction, Scarlet and Twisted Marionette leitmotif in this teaser? That's a bit weird...

As someone who works in audio, I think it's much more likely the producer of the trailer track just reused the same samples for the drums/percussion (sounds like Kontakt Action Strikes/West African package, /u/maclaine ?). Maaaaaybe they took a drum loop from the Twisted Marionette fight and sped up the tempo but this seems like a bit of a leap. I don't really hear much besides similar samples to suggest a reference to a motif of any kind.

It was actually one of our newer audio team members who handled the music for this teaser! He did a fantastic job, imo. And if I have to guess it was either that library you mentioned or another from Kontakt. ;)
