This is the original soundtrack of the video game Hide Comrade! Winner of the jury special price of Ubisoft GameLab Competition 2021.

"In a dystopian not-so-far future, an oppressive government had to impose an 8h curfew and a ban on parties. As a rebel, you decide to go against the rule, but the robot from the ministry is now knocking at your door."

The music features two tracks: one for the menu and another for the main game sequence. The theme and orchestration are made to evoke two concepts: stealth and governmental oppression. The low play evokes the need for the players to remain silent, as they move through the rooms of the house, avoiding government's machines and trying to hide the evidences of their misdeeds...

For Your Own Good

For Your Own Good [Ubisoft Game Lab Competition 2021]

Composed for the Ubisoft Game Lab Competition 2021, Hellivery Original Soundtrack consists of one track, which is the main theme of the game. I named it Handle with Care.

"Experience the hell of a distribution company employee trying to make the most money possible by completing orders! This game must be played by two players."

The players have a limited time to ship a maximum of orders. As the remaining time decreases, the music becomes more intense. The two basic concepts that had to be transposed in the composition were the rush (the ambiance under which the employees must do their job) and the hell (the warehouse is designed with an infernal style). I picked the introducing chords to Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem (Dies Irae) to give the infernal tone of the piece with five fortissimo chords. Then the bass clarinet takes the lead with an ostinato that recalls the urge of deliveries, and the melody goes on...

Handle with Care was a real pleasure to compose, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Composed for my graduation project at the École de technologie supérieure, King of the Walls Original Soundtrack is only one track long, which I called Heroes and Foes. The music follows a dynamic pattern which adapts to the player's actions in-game.

King of the Walls is a team project developed by five students: Thomas Brouillard-Benoît, Maxime Di Lullo, Joud Homssi, Harold Lamarre and myself, under the supervision of professors David Labbée and Vincent Lévesque.

The project is a VR archery game made for the Virtuix Omni platform, which allows to the player to move on a sliding carpet with VR headset and controllers. The game can be played in either Arcade or Simulator mode. It combines the classic Tower Defense mechanics with a fine touch of immersion, and can also quickly become a kind of "Jogging Simulator".

"The armies of the king left the city undefended. As the only archer in town, you must find the courage to repel the invaders and inspire the villagers around you. Fortify the walls. Be the hero your people need!"

The main theme consists of two parts, the first which is loopable (0:00 to 1:56), and the second one which introduces the arrival of your allies once you have shown enough bravery to inspire them to take the arms.

Heroes and Foes mixes traditional medieval instruments with some modern sound design (but not too much) and was composed with the idea in mind to keep the balance between immersion and fantasy, drama and glory.

Composed for the Ubisoft Game Lab Competition 2022, Overdue Original Soundtrack is divided into four variations of the same theme. Here's an orchestral suite that combines all of them!

"Overdue is a coop game where the players must survive against many obstacles and enemies sent by the diabolical game master coming straight out of Dungeon and Dragons. Create teams of 2 to 4 students and choose your video game discipline in order to submit your homework before the deadline, and don't forget your performance will be graded!"

0:00 The Classroom: The Main Menu's theme. The students gather around the game board, ready to start their journey through a DND-like universe.
1:05 The Grassland: A green and peaceful meadows filled with few dangers...
2:11 The Duneland: A dry and dusty desert where things are getting a little bit  harder...
3:17 The Frostland: The final nightmare filled with nothing but cold and challenges...

Overdue – Suite of the Worlds was a challenging work of variation, instrumentation and musical style, but I love the result, especially Duneland and Frostland!

Composed for the Ubisoft Game Lab Competition 2022, Lumo – The Light Within Original Soundtrack consists of one track, with three levels of progression, which goes from the darkest to a lighter perspective of challenges of student life.

"Discover a subconscious realm where you explore the inner struggles of a student's life. 
In Lumo: The Light Within, acknowledge the force of your teammates, and learn to work with them through a series of challenges."

The link to the game's trailer: https://youtu.be/bjMVtzKwv70

The music is supposed to reflect what it is to fight within oneself to overcome fear and obstacles within the world of studies. This is one of the most personal themes I have ever composed for a video game (and I wasn't even a among the game designers on this one, but the team has done an amazing job presenting their concept to me). I myself have struggled with tough challenges during some of my university years and I tried to transpose that to the sound.

Lumo – The Light Within was pleasure to compose, and I hope you captured the feeling of the game the way I do!

Composed for the Ubisoft Game Lab Competition 2023, Soul Shaper Original Soundtrack consists of two musical themes, one for the menu, setting up the ambiance of danger and a gruesome underworld; the other one declined in three variations, depicting an epic boss fight in three stages!

"Let your imagination take shape as you wield the power of creation against the only thing separating you from heaven. Bend space and time as you battle your foe in Soul Shaper!"

This year's theme for the contest was “Arcade”. So the whole game was made following old graphic and artistic standards of video game industry during the 80s-90s. The music itself was composed following a realistic 16-bit style and limitation. And it paid up, as the game received the two awesome following prices:

• Best Prototype
• Best Creativity and Integration of the Theme (Arcade)

Soul Shaper Original Soundtrack was an awesome experience to compose, and I hope it makes you want to try the game!

This will be a day long remembered! It has seen the end of Clone Wars, and will soon see the end of the Jedi... Unless there is hope?

While I have always been a big fan of Star Wars, I have only started watching The Clone Wars in the past few months, and I was surprised to rediscover the characters of my childhood from a new angle. As the adventure ends today with the release of the last episode on Disney Plus, I wanted to pay tribute to these misunderstood and manipulated characters that are the clones. The typical example of selflessness that could only be found in fiction!

Thanks to Dave Filoni and all the team behind Clone Wars who had worked for more than ten years to bring this “cartoon for kids” to life!

Thanks to John Williams who composed so many emblematic themes that made me dream from my birth to this day. Attempting to compose a variation on one of its themes is an act of passionate madness. Whoever could improve the man's music music is not born yet.

*About the piece*
This piece is mostly a suite of variations of The Arena theme from Episode II. There are also some other themes concerning the Grand Army of the Republic, from near or far... will you recognize all of them? While the clone march composed by John Williams is above all a martial theme, I wanted to follow the spirit of The Clone Wars series and rediscover this theme in a different light. I wanted to depict empathy for the clones, those soldiers who were born for nothing more than serve.

I hope you'll enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think of it! Don't forget to subscribe for more!

May the 4th be with you!
