Afterlife Museum is a platformer project developed at ISART in one month.
We play a wooden puppet wandering through a cabinet of curiosities filled
with strange objects. This pitch was precious for defining the
soundtrack's direction. The character we play, through his origin and his
movements, inspires a mischievous, magical temperament... while the cabinet
inspires wooden textures and instruments, which dominate this soundtrack.

I start with mickey-mousing that follows the puppet's movements, using
short, unpredictable notes and dissonant chords for the strange side, with
heavy inspiration from the experimental music of Boulez, Jerskin Fendrix
(Poor Things), and Jörg Widmann (Fantasie for clarinet solo). The second
track continues with the same woody sonorities (clarinet, bassoon, oboe)
but stabilizes in complexity. In the menu, the notes are simpler, the
dissonances disappear, the rhythms are more predictable, creating a "safe
place" for the player — a spot to suspend the adventure. The third,
finally, is the most magical of all. It represents the exploration through
this cabinet, the discovery of all these strange and magical objects,
drawing its inspirations from Imogen Heap and Ben Prutty.

the sound design, and the implementation elements of the project.
