Music Respawn! Jessica Curry's Joyful Music For So Let Us Melt

thechineseroom.co.uk

Jessica Curry won a BAFTA award for her soundtrack for The Chinese Room's Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, so when it was announced that she was working on music for a new game, the excitement was palpable. As she told me, the story ofSo Let Us Meltis like a fairytale, and it was so much fun to write joyful music for it.

Even if you don't have access to a Google Daydream VR system, you can still experience So Let Us Melt when it's featured at theFuture of StoryTelling Summit, October 6-8 in New York.

Jessica wrote her music with specific performers in mind: namely, the acclaimed chorus London Voices, and instrumentalists she'd worked with on her previous scores. She says being able to record at Air Studios was the highlight of her year.
