Music Respawn! Stephan Schutze's Music And Sound Make Yonder A Joy To Explore

Stephan Schutzesays the stars lined up when he was approached by the small studio Prideful Sloth to provide the music and sound design for Yonder, the Cloud Catcher Chronicles. As he told me, the kind of lush orchestral music he wanted to write was exactly what they had in mind!

In addition to writing over two hours of interactive music, Stephan also created the sound design for Yonder, incorporating his re-mastered samples of the classic BBC Sound Effects library, to give the world a very real feel. As you explore the world, you'll hear birds "talking" to each other in the trees, and crickets who suddenly become quiet as you approach.

Stephan is currently working on the music and sound for two very different-style VR games that illustrate both ends of the gaming spectrum: a zombie shooter, and a lifelike sailing adventure.
