Just quickly updating my blog from a song I made back a few weeks before we received any final information about the game. At the time the music references they gave us were Cuphead which had a lot of Jazz Bepop style of music.
I originally attempted to use Ableton to create some music but felt it was corny. Instead of using midi instruments, I translated to what I know how to use which is sampling. I used my SP404MK2 which is a sampler with lots of effects built within.
I then loaded some jazz drum brush loops and got a pattern going. Went through some jazz records I own at home and recorded through my turntable into my sampler and started chopping guitar sounds to layer over the drums. Then processed with filters and other bits to create a new analogue dirty hissing sounding loop.
Again now it won’t be used as we have gone with a sci-fi futuristic sort of composition which I now will be making music for.
For reference here is the machine I use.
And here is the song below
