AA2 Sem 2 Week 11


Game Music is something that really interests me. It's such a new way of thinking about composition and good game music and engines make good games great. As an example Harry-Gregson Williams and his work on the Metal Gear series.

Because the game is a fast paced FPS i made a Drum and Bass style piece with a few sort of psy elements to it (using phasers and ping pong delays). I did this because of my own personal aesthetic. I used Reason to create this song.

Check it out in the Box widget.
