Orchestral Composition & Adaptive Game Music

Demonstration of Adaptive Music Using Wwise

Here I’m using Wwise to make the music adapt to the player going from exploring to combat. This is done by using real-time, in-game parameters (number of enemies), so that the music changes seamlessly with the game state.

My composition is inspired by the wonderful “Ghost of Tsushima” from Sucker Punch Productions.

HIGHLIGHT MUSIC

Orchestral Adventure

Combining traditional orchestra with ethnic melodies.

HIGHLIGHT MUSIC

Quiet Exploration

Slow, drifting melodies for peaceful underscore.

HIGHLIGHT MUSIC

Atmospheric Medieval

Rhythmic and stealthy, combining orchestral and medieval instruments.

HIGHLIGHT MUSIC

Epic Fantasy

Bombastic and triumphant, high-fantasy music with female vocals [game track commission].

HIGHLIGHT MUSIC

Ambient Fantasy

Ambient melodies lure you into the enchanted forest, a sense of mystery at hand [game track commission].

HIGHLIGHT MUSIC

Orchestral Jazz

A playful jazz loop for that spy feel.

"It was great working with Nicole. She is very talented and passionate about her work. In the first couple days that we worked together, she was able to get the right feel and direction that we wanted for the game. Looking forward to work in more projects with her!"

Hernan Olave
Game Director at Hound Games
"The quality of these pieces of music is incredible, very professional and not overdone. For AAA-quality music I would use in a shipped title, this is it! Several tracks made me think of playing games from "The Witcher" series, absolutely perfect music that adds fantasy flavour to the world, while being subtle enough not to distract players who are exploring it. Just listen to the preview and download it already!!"

"Absolute gold!!! This is exactly what I'm after. There are hardly any medieval music on the Unity store of this quality!"
