The document summarizes the soundtrack elements and production techniques used in the game Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It analyzes the setting, mood, and genre of the game based on the pirate-style music featuring mellow keyboard tones. It concludes that the silly voices were likely recorded separately and manipulated with effects to sound high pitched. The analysis is based on a YouTube video of the game's soundtrack.

Provide detailed descriptions from chosen examples that establish… Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
Setting Sea, pirate ship I think the setting is the sea due to the pirate style
music that starts in the middle of the clip this was
most likely recorded on a key board using
instrument samples that were each recorded
individualy.
Mood Up beat, happy, silly, This sounds up beat, happy and silly because of
the mellow tones used rather than harsh loud
power chords you would hear in an action game.
Game genre Children’s game /family friendly
Side scrolled
The music throughout is upbeat and played with
mellow sounding instruments like a key board I
say keyboard because each sound sounds like a
programed in version of the real thing and the
company might not have a big enough budget for
a full aucestra
Narrative  Silly voices throughout that make no sense The voices were probably recorded in a controlled
booth and then later manipulated to sound high
pitched in after FX
