Session Name:

Taking Risks and Raising Emotional Stakes: The Music of 'Still Wakes the Deep'

Overview:

Composer Jason Graves, working closely with Chinese Room Audio Director Daan Hendriks and Music Editor/Sound Designer Francesco Del Pia, crafted a one-of-a-kind score for Still Wakes The Deep" that includes a custom-built Moog Synthesizer, a bespoke metal sculpture designed after the oil rig in the game, and a small but powerful ensemble of live musicians. This panel will illustrate the creative and technical risks taken and ultimately achieved to raise a very personal, emotional bar for the player - something horror games can easily ignore.
