| Wytchwood October Dev Update | 2018-10-16 | Hello again! Welcome to The Month Of Spook (October.) In this post we'll talk a bit about about making Wytchwood's unique soundtrack and what we do to make it pleasantly unsettling (and spooky.) Wytchwood's soundtrack is composed by myself and Ryan Roth. In this example we take a page out of a modern film composition technique. As soundtracks get more complex, instruments can often get lost in the audio mix or sound weak on their own. To remedy this, composers will layer or double the instrument track. For Wytchwood, we use this technique to make a unique, full-sounding keyboard. This keyboard acts as a sonic signature in Wytchwood. https://s |
