I created a theme for a game called ‘Lost‘ in early 2014 to test out ideas and experiment with what I could do with the technology available to me. I created it using Cubase and ProTools and a Roland FP7F keyboard.
‘Lost’ came about because I wanted to test my composition and mixing skills to see how much I could enhance the tension in the music. I did not compose to a brief. It is called ‘Lost’ because it sounds like someone who is scared and running. It would work better as a theme for a game because it is linear – starting quiet, getting louder to the climax and ending quiet again. From this I learnt many new tricks in the mixing world and I will keep improving on these skills more and more with each new project I take on.
