When the hard work is done, you can ENJOY the orchestra!
At our recent live recording session, we had a couple of 'bonus' takes in the end. We already had everything, so we could sit back and enjoy!
Thank you, Hajo!

POV - The orchestra hits the climax on the first take...
The first take is always special. Hearing the orchestra play your music is always an emotional moment. I got quite overwhelmed when the climax hit, and was still quite flabbergasted at the end of the take.
Killing it, Ben!

Symmetrical characters, symmetrical melodies! 🎶
In our opening cutscene, we see the characters for the first time. To enhance the symmetrical visuals, I apply the same technique in the music!
When the low brass is so good, they trigger STANK face.

Adding COLOR✨to the Forest music!
Our Forest level is very bright and colorful - here's how I'm applying the same in the music!
Last summer, I wrote and recorded an interactive combat piece during the course "Writing and recording music for Games" by @awintory.bsky.social at Synchron Stage in Vienna.
This week was a highlight of my life, and I'm very happy to finally share the end result! :)

Using a Composition Technique to Support the Gameplay!
Contrary motion is a common counterpoint technique, and I'm using it to support the idea of symmetry in our game!

Developing a Melody! ✂
Breaking up your melody into shorter sections can help you extend your compositions!

Please share this with anyone interested! Whether you are a composer looking to do a sessoin like this, a gamedev/filmmaker or other creative curious whether recording music live is worth it, or if you're simply curious what a session like this is like :)

Now with all the pieces in place, I can go back and forth between Wwise and DAW to tweak transitions, export versions and stems, which I can then simply drag and drop in a system that's already working :)

Implementing a big Boss music Sequence this week. Wrote it mostly linearly (with a few breaks for transitions) to get the music out first. Spent the morning yesterday splitting it out into smaller sections and getting those working in Wwise. And it works!

Writing music for 'Halve' by @moonleafstudio.bsky.social is a blast! In this video, I'm summarizing a list of orchestration, composition, production, and music design techniques that I'm using in shaping the game's musical identity, that I hope will inspire you to shape yours!
