CREATIVE CHALLENGE
NOT STEERING AWAY TOO MUCH FROM THE MAIN SOUND OF THE PROJECT
the comic is generally on the more absurd and comedy side, but this episode takes quite a break from the standard funnier tone and goes a lot more into the horror, with just a bit of fun mixed in but a lot less than the comics' usual.
PROCESS
as the saying goes…
don't reinvent the wheel.
…just resample it.
(or something like that)
So that's exactly what i did.
With the right context, something with a 'happy' musical tone can also be creepy.
The process of transforming the orginal track
The intention was to evoke a feeling of brokenness and unease, taking recognizable elements from the original theme and weaving them into a haunting and ominous soundscape.
This reflects the twisted and unfamiliar world the characters enter, as well as the presence of a lurking stalker creature connected to the comic's main character.
RESULT
The team was on board with the idea and felt it perfectly matched the tone they were aiming for.
Personally, I thought the concept worked well, but the overall arrangement felt a bit too minimalistic. which isn't necessarily bad for the early stages of the project, as it left room to explore and adjust during the final audio-post stages.
nonetheless, the texture that the track brought was the right one to illustrate the setting of the episode, and that's a win in my book.
