Hi, everyone! Today I’m here to share a small (but interesting) interview I did with Darren Korb, via e-mail, about his music in Bastion and his composition process.

Hey, everybody! How have you all been? Some days ago I was at the Full Indie Meetup, here in Vancouver, and I met a nice guy (that I can’t recall his name, sorry), young game developer, and we started talking about sound in games – after he asked me what was my role in the game…
Hey! So, last week Winifred Phillips wrote a great article on comedic sound design and game music. It’s a pretty interesting article, where she talks a lot about what makes a SFX fell comedic and funny. Reading the article you can understand a lot about it, and how it turns out to be all about…
