awesome stuff

“Composer and percussionist Nick Woodbury uses music as a way to engage with people through sound. His music uses multiple performers, computer manipulation, and homemade electronics to distort and expand sounds beyond real-world possibility. It has been described as ‘having another life in the mind of the listener,’ an innovation of sound environments that can be observed ephemerally and yet reflected upon.”

Vanguard Valkyrie is a 3D virtual reality space-shooter game being developed by Zero Transform, a newly formed independent studio focused on using the latest VR technology to make games that are innovative, beautiful, and truly immersive. 

I'm proud to be working again with my friend Justin Moravetz, having previously contributed to his amazing VR debut, Proton Pulse. I will be handling the soundtrack and sound design for Vanguard Valkyrie alongside the incredible guitarist and chiptune composer, Dan "Danimal Cannon" Behrens. It's going to be a wild ride.

LYRICS:
Der verschmitzte Schöpfer wohnt
in einer Höhle all seine Tage,
Sichtbar für Jeden auf Felsbildern.
Er ist bekannt als der Mann des Irrgartens .

MAZE OF GAMES: The Second Path - Nomad

The background music from the first stage of Vanguard V, an incredible VR space-shooter in development by Zero Transform, for Oculus Rift and other fine head-mounted 3D display systems. 

Since the stages are linear and follow a set timeline, I know ahead of time where all the dramatic hits will be, and can score each stage as one would score a film, allowing for extreme dynamic range. 

This is, obviously, an unusual way to score a game, and it's an AWESOME treat.
