Soundtrack: The Witness — the seven-year decision never to write a score
The Witness's soundtrack is designed by refusing to exist. Doremi listens to the footsteps and ambiences that Andrew Lackey of Wabi Sabi Sound spent six of the game's seven years recording.
Soundtrack: SUPERHOT — Composing Without Any Music
SUPERHOT, the first-person shooter where time only moves when you do, has no music at all — only sound design wired directly to your own speed. Its 2020 expansion, MIND CONTROL DELETE, answers with a loud drum-and-bass score by Zardonic. Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take apart this swing from silence to noise for what it teaches about writing music.
Telling Lies 原声带 —— 顺序随意播放，却只有一侧的音乐
Sam Barlow的Telling Lies，是一款检索他人影像记录、并将其拼接起来的推理解谜游戏。Nainita Desai的配乐，与影像本身一样，采用了"无论以何种顺序播放都能成立"的模块化结构。伦敦当代乐团的现场演奏、把琴弓摩擦在琴弦琴码上的"频谱擦弦"奏法、以7/4拍开场的主题曲。玩家拖拽影像时间轴的动作，为何也悄悄藏在音乐之中？我，Doremi，手持一杯黑咖啡，来将它拆解。
Portal 原声带——沉默过后，机器开始歌唱
Portal 的测试室，几乎不发出声响。Kelly Bailey 与 Mike Morasky 所写的环境音乐，像空调一样沉入背景之中，直到数小时的沉默过后，GLaDOS 才终于开口歌唱——那就是 Jonathan Coulton 写的《Still Alive》。我，Doremi，手握一杯黑咖啡，拆解「无声的设计」与「由敌人作词的一曲」，捡拾出可以带回自己创作中的要点。
Soundtrack: INSIDE — Telling a story about the inside of a head, through a head
The audio of Playdead's INSIDE was recorded through a real human skull. Martin Stig Andersen and SØS Gunver Ryberg pushed synth tones through bone to give them a brittle, hollow quality. Why does 'sound heard from inside a head' work so well for a puzzle about hijacking other bodies through mind control? Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take it apart.
LIMBO 原声音乐 — 只剩下被抹去身份的声音
独自包揽 LIMBO 音频的 Martin Stig Andersen 出身于幻声音乐(acousmatic)。他扭曲声音的『身份』、拒绝操纵情绪的配乐,为剪影世界叠上了声音的影子。不打扰『死亡重试』式解谜的『耐重试音乐』究竟是什么?我 Doremi 端着黑咖啡,逐层拆解。
