Sound Shapes feat. Beck, deadmau5, and more

 July 20, 2012

According to Billboard.com, Beck is contributing three unreleased songs to the upcoming video game Sound Shapes. His tracks "Cities," "Touch the People" and "Spiral Staircase," will each be the soundtrack to a level of the game. It will also include original music by deadmau5, I Am Robot and Proud and Jim Guthrie, who previously delved into gaming soundtracks with "Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP."

The musically oriented game will allow players to create increasingly complex beats via their achievements in a side-scrolling platformer. Users will be able to generate their own levels and music for the game, as well.

Adobe Flash Projects

 July 20, 2012

 

Tank War was a grad school project that involved creating a soundtrack and sound effects for a simple Flash game. To try to create a vintage lo-fi sound, I used YMCK's Magical 8-bit Plug and ran a few voice samples through a bitcrusher plugin.

 

 


Multitrack Buttons was my first attempt at creating an interactive Flash app from scratch. It was modelled after a game on the Boohbah website (a tv show for pre-schoolers).

 

 


Multitrack Faders was a reimplementation of the previous multitrack app. This time allowing the user to set individual volume levels rather than simply turning tracks on and off.

 

 

Phantom of Power was a Flash game that I created so that my MUS-110 Intro to Music Software students could create 8-bit music for it. I was able to include everyone's music by assigning 2 to 4 songs per level. When the game goes to play the music for a level, it randomly selects one of those 2 to 4 songs. It takes about 2 minutes to load (audio files for ~40 different songs take up a lot of space).

I have two other simple Flash projects shown here. The first is a Flash audio player with play, pause, and stop controls. The second is a looped Flash animation.
