In 2020, I composed a trailer song for ‘Twitch’ streamer ‘Archonaut’, drawing inspiration from ‘Valorant’ and ‘Cyberpunk’ video game soundtracks, known for their dystopian vibes.
I used a lot of electronic synths, recordings of computer glitches, foley samples, and processed most of it through my go-to distortion VST ‘CamelPhat’, to craft an intense, mysterious atmosphere. The composition featured slow, heavy drums, creating a gloomy military-march rhythm. The main bass riff, inspired by ‘The Prodigy’s’ ‘Breathe’ intro, added depth.
Archonaut’s vision resonated with me, igniting my passion for game sound design.
