Made a score reduction/analysis vid for the #Helldivers2 main theme, “A Cup of Liber-tea”! It transcribes both orchestra and synths/drums, and highlights themes. Try and guess how many times you hear the main motif repeated throughout? :-P

Full vid on YT! #gamemusic

For fans of vast soundscapes and reverb-rich, ambient futuristic synths, two game OSTs have stood out in the last few years:
• Solar Ash by Troupe Gommage/Disasterpeace/Joel Corelitz www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOz3...
• After Us by Daniel Elms www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YUE...

Superbly atmospheric

I’m a little late to the party but damn, Altered Carbon S1 is compelling. Might be my imagination but it feels like that era of shows has passed now.

Fans of Ghibli/Joe Hisaishi will be charmed by this interview

Even if you’re not a classical aficionado, it’s worth watching to the end, as it reveals a childlike glee for the minimal in music.

Props to Jonathan Ross who clearly knows his shit about Japanese culture, language, music and cinema.

Fantastic interview
Sometimes, even after investing thousands of hours and $25 million into a game's development, tough decisions must be made.

Baby Steps is the polar opposite to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

In one, I’m a Greek goddess leaping over the land, gracefully felling foes with superhuman agility. Quests, minimap, skills.

In the other, I’m a doughy oaf, face down in muddy water, unable to string stumbling steps together.

All I need for horror video game writing (specifically notes, graffiti, etc.) to be effective is ‘evocative nonsense’…

Something like:

“That door. It was open before I returned. But it slammed shut leaving the shadow of a woman who passed by years ago. I call for help but Tuesdays are bad for it.”

Yasunori Nishiki came within touching distance of Uematsu/FF8’s all-timer “Balamb Garden” with the serene “Cobblestone, Nestled in the Hills” from Octopath Traveler. My kids listen to both nightly on their sleepy playlist.

Have been working on this for @lacedrecords.com for basically a year. And God of War. Assassin’s Creed. Civilisation. DOOM. Pokémon.

And Clair Obscur.

It has been a heck of a ride.

I occurs to me that Supergrass's "Moving" is a magnificent, pure pop condensation of Pink Floyd's "Dogs"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 superboss beaten, credits rolled.

Absolutely bawled at the ending. For a debut game and a relatively teensy team — only one (1!) level designer and one story writer — it is one of the greats.
