Sound of Play Extra: Mikolai Stroinski and Garry Schyman




The Sound of Play videogame music podcast show

Summary: For this Sound of Play Extra, Thomas ‘Tom’ Quillfeldt spoke to composers Mikolai Stroinski and Garry Schyman.<br> <br> You’ll likely have heard at least some of their work in games like The Witcher 3 and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (Stroinski), and the BioShock and Middle-Earth: Shadow of… series (Schyman).The interview was centred around their wildly experimental joint score for the recently released puzzle-platformer Metamorphosis by Polish studio Ovid Works. Based on the Franz Kafka novel of the same name, Metamorphosis sees the player crawling around as a bug in various Honey I Shrunk the Kids-meets-Tim Burton (on one of his darker days) environments.<br> <br> This was recorded across three time zones and the audio isn’t fantastic for the two interviewees — apologies.<br> <br> Music featured in this podcast:<br> <br> <br> 1.
