Soundtrack: Vessel — Water music that assembles itself as you solve

The music of Strange Loop Games' liquid puzzler Vessel is ten tracks Jon Hopkins had already released, taken apart and reassembled in real time by Leonard J. Paul's engine. The further you push into a puzzle, the more the smouldering background gathers drums and bass, until the full track plays the instant you solve it. Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take apart why the reward can be the completion of a piece rather than a victory jingle - from the angle of someone who writes music.
