Synopsis
Music exploring sounds of objects or actions. |
Relationships
Context:
Music .
Makes use of:
Foley , Acoustic Ecology .
Description
Foley Music consists of Music that is produced by integrating processed Foley snippets from the game world.
By using Foley "voices" as instruments, Foley Music noticeably shares the identity of the game elements, competes to the global Aesthetic coherence, and augments the fitness to the Acoustic Ecology.
Foley Music also potentiates the distinctiveness of the soundtrack, which in turn reflects on the value of the game as a whole. Still, it is a challenge to compose a music that is not only interesting per se but also connects to the themes and textures in the game world.
Transformations to the Foley snippets avoid directly invoking the corresponding associations to their sources, whilst maintain aesthetic fitness. Actually this becomes mandatory if the Music would otherwise raise false positives during gameplay.
Examples
Additional Comments
There are sound designers who specialize in this kind of composition, as is the case of Matthew Herbert. One recent example of his involvement in this kind of endeavour is the soundtrack for Life in a Day project. Also, several authors have posted compositions based on snippets grabbed from games (e.g., via Youtube).
