00:30It was a thing that we had never done before. We knew we wanted to do it and we knew
00:36that we had the time and the sort of energy to put in it.
00:41I think that that was actually one of the kind of main draws to the game was Chloe as a
00:47character. I think we both kind of found her really inspiring as our kind of heroine.
00:51We were trusted with making a soundtrack that would work for the game because I guess they also approached us
00:59as a band.
01:00We have written instrumental tracks before but never necessarily on themes or on things that need to relate to a
01:08story.
01:09It was a really kind of brilliant task for us to be able to kind of sit down and go,
01:14right, how do we describe this certain feeling or this emotion?
01:18We weren't tracking to picture so we had to be inspired by these quite short briefs which left a lot
01:26of freedom in a certain way to just, you know, get inspired and make something up.
01:30A lot of the lyrics in our music is very, like, super personal and I haven't really ever written anything
01:37that's about another person.
01:39So it was trying to kind of sink into, especially into Chloe's character, like, sink into what she's feeling and
01:46try and relate her life and her, like, feelings of grief and loss to kind of my life.
01:54I think for us, you know, her father dying and her trying to deal with it, it was the saddest
02:00point of the story and I think the point in the story that really kind of spoke to us a
02:05lot.
02:05I guess even in terms of our inspiration for making this for different songs, it was always at the back
02:10of our heads, this core of trying to get over something or just trying to kind of process that.
02:17Musically, the undercurrent of everything we have to do is to have grief somewhere in it.
02:22I think musically, one thing that I was quite conscious of as we were making the music is I wanted
02:28quite a few parts to be doubled or harmonized in some way.
02:33So it's kind of like this generally there's like one, you know, theme or melody or something happening, but then
02:39there's going to be something else that kind of is accompanying it in a very similar way,
02:44whether it's, you know, with the same instrument or a different instrument or, you know, and they kind of sit
02:48in different space.
02:49But they're always sort of there together. And that was, you know, an idea of like sort of sonically representing
02:56what, you know, their friendship or a friendship could feel like.
03:01We're super excited. I think it's going to be, it's going to be also just really interesting, I guess, to
03:05see if the fans of the game, especially for the first game, if they, if, you know, how they respond
03:10to our music being on it.
03:11And like, if it's, you know, it would just be nice to know if it's well received in a way,
03:19because I think, I think it fits really beautifully and really well.
03:23And, you know, I'm just so excited.
