Description

The majority of video game scores follow the cliches - they give you aurally what you would expect and therefore work fine, but leave the listener with nothing new to savour and look back on. In an effort to avoid this, we will discuss the benefits of working from a creatively open brief - outlining the decision, compositional, recording and post-production processes used in making a score that didn't just plod along with bangs and crashes in the predictable places. We were given a rare opportunity to try out something new for the FPS genre. Utilising a string sextet recorded at Abbey Road, a legendary vocalist, live percussion and electronica we embarked on this challenging interactive soundtrack.
