MUSIC COMPOSITION

TV Trailer Theme Adaptation:

  • Atlas Reactor : 30 second national TV spot
    • Adapted game theme song for trailer.

Interactive Music Composition:

  • Atlas Reactor : 3 phase state driven music system
    • Decision – low intensity thinking
    • Action – higher energy cues : returns to decision
    • Taunt – thematic stinger which segues into even higher energy Action cue : returns to Action or Decision

Interactive Music Composition:

  • Trove : Simple interaction with emotional feedback.
    • Dragon Albairn’s theme. Albairn is a musical dragon so when mounted music switches to Albairn’s theme.
    • To give more bang for buck for this rare mount, I also designed and implemented a system to provide emotional feedback for flying and then during combat the music becomes exhilarating.

Interactive Music Composition:

  • Trove : Simple interaction with emotional feedback.
    • While flying the bass cuts out making the ocean theme feel lighter.
    • When on a boat or underwater, the bass stem is added back in for depth and heaviness.
    • Simple design and subtle in this case.

Trailer Music Composition:

  • Bespoke music
  • Stylistic matching
  • Unique Styles
