The Wagadu Chronicles is a groundbreaking MMO project set in an afro-fantasy universe. Following the game’s successful Kickstarter in 2019, Markus accompanied studio Twin Drums on a trip to Ghana, where they recorded the country’s breathtaking landscapes and the talent of its local musicians. Live-recorded balophone, kora, and various traditional drums are combined with modern production and orchestrals, resulting in a unique yet authentic soundscape to fit an immersive alternate world.<\/p>\n

The Wagadu Chronicles has been backed by Riot Games and is having its Early Access on Steam end of 2023. Over Live Score Berlin, this project also got recorded with a live orchestra.
