Abylight posts S.O.N.A.R. main theme by Alberto J. González
Developer Abylight Barcelona is collaborating with composer Alberto J. González on 1–4 player online co-op submarine simulator S.O.N.A.R.. A video premiering the main theme by the game's executive music producer can be viewed on the Abylight YouTube channel.

The career of the musician, often credited as “Joe McAlby,” spans three decades and includes work on classic European games, including North & South (ZX Spectrum), The Smurfs (NES), Tintin in Tibet (Game Boy), and Asterix & Obelix (SNES), among many other titles.

The musician comments, via Steam, "To compose the main theme for S.O.N.A.R., I started from clear requirements set by the creative director: the music needed to convey a certain element of tension, in line with the nature of the game. However, I always find it difficult to resist the temptation of creating a catchy melody."

S.O.N.A.R. Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready will launch for Windows PC via Steam on October 29th, published by Abylight Studios.
