Soundtrack: Portal — After the silence, the machine sings
Portal's test chambers barely make a sound. The ambient score by Kelly Bailey and Mike Morasky sinks behind the ventilation, and only after hours of near-silence does GLaDOS start to sing — Jonathan Coulton's "Still Alive." Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take apart the design of the silence and the one song written by the antagonist, and pick out what you can carry back to your own work.
