Soundtrack: Taiji — Choosing to keep the sound on, inside a lineage of silence
Taiji descends directly from The Witness. But where its ancestor threw out music and bet on environmental sound, this island lays down an ambience that never quite ends. It was composed by the developer himself, Matthew VanDevander, and rewoven into a finite album by Grzegorz Bednorz. Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take apart why the choice to keep the sound on fits a puzzle of pure observation — in a form you can carry back to your own composing.
