/Root_Of_All_Evil - Global Game Jam 2023

/Root_Of_All_Evil was my first major project working as a sound designer and composer. This was a project completed for the Glasgow Caledonian University Global Game Jam 2023, where the theme was “Roots.” We decided that to fit this theme, we would build a game around computing systems, mainly the concept of file pathing and root files.

For the composition, I wanted to incorporate elements of cyberpunk styling, focusing more on utilising synthetic instruments and invoking a feeling of nostalgia through sweeping synth drones and artificial drums. The tone shifts to a more darker sound for the second track, focusing heavily on the bass register to invoke the feeling that you’re doing something you’re not supposed to.
