This was probably one of the funniest Music Challenges we had in recent weeks. The idea was to come up with music for the title reveal sequence of the beautifully relaxing game JOURNEY. But do it completely THE WRONG WAY. Meaning → Compose music that is AWFUL and doesn't fit the game AT ALL. I think we did good.

The Sound Design Challenge is our place to set aside daily sound work, experiment with new techniques, new plugins, new source material, and try out crazy ideas. It is our safe space to experiment and fail (or succeed!) without consequence.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
✅ We learn a lot about how sound works in the context of games. It allows us to design better sound in our own productions.

✅ By forcing us into a timed slot of ~1 hour, we don't fiddle around endlessly. We try something out, we submit it, we move on to the next thing.

✅ It's our weekly training! Sound Design is a skill you can train and improve 🚀 Good writers read a lot of books to broaden their horizon. We design sounds to realize an idea and see where it leads us and listen to other people's sound designs to broaden our sonic horizon.

✅ No matter the outcome, we learn a ton! We learn new tricks in our DAWs, we get inspired by other peoples ideas how to process sounds creatively, we get faster at the work we do, we learn to come up with ideas on the spot and run with it, we learn to abandon ideas.

✅ Besides, networking and meeting new people with complementary creative ideas gives our hangouts this extra level of spice 🤩
