[Falk Demo Reel] Rooftop Run - Interactive Music Re-score "Be Cool, Be Wild"

First Berklee College of Music FS-471 Advanced Scoring for Games assignment, using Wwise.

The music is set up so that the game swaps from section to section based on position in the level, with triggers set up to move the music from one section to the next.

Additionally, each main section contains two different versions, that swap depending on Sonic's performance.

The music is designed to help tell the story of the level, rather than just playing a single musical track on loop. For example, the triggers and composition is set up so that the guitar solo will kick in on the clock tower grind every time, regardless of how fast or slow players progress through the level.

Audio tracks:
"Be Cool" (Rock Form) - http://soundcloud.com/falk-2/be-cool
"Be Wild" (Techno/D&B Form) - http://soundcloud.com/falk-2/be-wild

Oh, re: song titles, there originally was supposed to be a 3rd genre for extremely poor performance, which would have been called "Be Groovy" but it wasn't working as intended. Oh well. :P Failed easter egg.

Thanks for all the comments, I'm starting my internship with dSonic (ha ha, what a coincidence) doing adaptive audio for media next week! Guess going all out on a college assignment isn't all that bad.

please could i have both songs with the loop in 1 mp3/wav and the intro in 1 mp3/wav ? i really need it and i would give credit

[baldfalk]

@r543Blitzsonic You really could have asked on IRC :P But sure I'll IRCPM you the source material. It's not just one intro and one loop though, each section is made up of quite a few loops.

is this music for reel?

[baldfalk]

@ErlendWins Yarp, it's for reel.

This is such an amazing song and idea. I wish SEGA would do something like this. Also, did you design the changes in music around prerecorded footage or is it automatic?

[StrudelB]

[Hyperdemon891]

Really nice. How close can you time transitions for this? Could you fit in a transition in the jump just before the end, for example?

Dear SEGA hire this man

[ZombieMika]

sega absolutely needs to hire you

This music would sound really good mashed up with Windmill Isle Act 2's music.
