I was lucky enough to have joined the project pretty early, so roles within the group weren’t really assigned yet. I took advantage of this and started working on game’s score. I uploaded tree different flavors of tracks.
First one was a short crash-type of sound, just 17 seconds, western-themed. I used electric guitar banjo and harmonica – I felt the reactions were mixed.
The second upload was a techno track of sorts, slowed down to 96 bpm, I put together using harmonica and playing around with Ashlight for NI’s Kontakt. No one said a word about it.
The third track I made using nothing but VST instruments – a slow and eerie composition of saw based sounds accompanied by a few sparse piano notes. Everybody loved it, and from what I understood we’ll be using it in the first scene, for the first part of the space flight, right before the crash.
I now have an idea of what type of sound everybody envisions for this game’s score, which will be of great help with this project.

After missing the first block, I made my way back and found myself in the middle of a collaborating project with a couple of IMMR students. Our assignment, from what I understood, is to come up with 10 mins. of virtual reality experience. They decided on a sci-fi game where the player’s spaceship would crash, and they find themselves stranded on an alien planet, with a system of tunnels to explore – a sort of puzzle. I found it to be a great idea with a lot of room for experimenting.
