For this project I replaced the music of a pre-existing game. The game takes clips of music and puts them in a random order, so I replaced the pre-existing clips of music with my own. Due to a bug in the game that makes the music get louder and softer at random, I put all of my music clips in a randomized order, and put them into a video with some gameplay footage. I'm very interested in Game Design as well as Music, so doing this project really gave me a lot of experience with making music to fit the mood of a game.

Synthesis Exploration

I've always been inspired by the music in older games such as DOOM. MIDI music is fun to work with, so I took the Soundfont (Pre-recorded instrument files) of the Roland SC-55 (A sound device that DOOM was meant to be used with) and made a piece that was in the style of the original game. As someone who will always pay attention to the music in video games as I move forward with my Game Development classes, this project was a lot of fun trying to figure out how different instruments complement each other and what editing techniques helped with the sounds of the game.
