Game Muziek EP
My first EP, Drafts on Emotion
During the Applied Game Design minor I dove deep into audio. Each week we were given an emotion and had to create a track for it. I tried to focus on a different aspect each week and improve at it. The result is a short EP that explores many different directions within video game music.
Dynamics and arrangement
I had never made music before, so many fundamental concepts like dynamics were still unknown to me. In week 3, on the battle track, I really tried to focus on this. I did so by having instruments support the main melody, and by working with call & response.
Inspirations.
My love for games and music came together perfectly here, because for every emotion I already had plenty of reference material. Each week I would study some of my favourite soundtracks to see how they tackle a particular emotion. This was enormously helpful in the composing process.
