THE RIBBON | Alan Wake 2 Song feat. Cami-Cat!
20,844ALAN WAKE 2 IS AVAILABLE NOW: https://bit.ly/AW2Stupendium
In the long awaited Alan Wake 2, Remedy take us back to the world of Bright Falls, Cauldron Lake and the Dark Place that lies deep within it. Since the events of the first game, Alan, a renowned writer, has been lost for 13 years, trapped by the Dark Presence in a twisted world built from his own words deep beneath the shores of Cauldron Lake. Stuck in an endless, undying loop he must find a way to write an ending and his escape from a world that feeds on his own creativity and turns it against him.
Meanwhile, on the surface, new character to the series Saga Anderson has been assigned to solve a string of terrible, ritualistic murders in the town of Bright Falls and soon discovers that there may be a connection to a famous writer who vanished from the town 13 years ago…

It’s been a little while, huh? But I’m back! A heady mix of delays beyond my control, international travel (for both pleasure AND some exciting international projects!) and good old fashioned mental health lead to a totally unplanned span between new songs here on the channel!
I’ve been so excited to release this for the longest time! Way back in 2020 when I released Slide Into the Void for Remedy’s ‘Control’ (one of my favourite games in recent memory) they reached out to me and expressed an interest in maybe working together in future. So when Alan Wake 2 was announced I immediately reached out in kind. A song touching on themes of creator vs creation and artistic legacy whilst also occupying the fantastically weird world of the Remedyverse? Sign me up!
What followed was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, video production I’ve yet attempted! Four solid days of shooting, the largest set we’ve ever built based on Remedy’s own schematics for the version built for the game’s live action sequences.
Not only that but Remedy were kind enough to send me multiple props and costume pieces that were used when filming for the actual game! The cultist costumes, their masks, Saga’s unique sweater, the books, the desk lamp, all the 100% genuine props you’ll see in game!
Together Remedy and Epic have been so fantastic to work with, providing in-depth access and references for the game way ahead of release so I was able to research and write, and placing incredible faith in my crazy ideas. Projects on this scale are both a joy and a nightmare to pull together and I couldn’t have done it without their support!
But not just them! Yet again I am blessed to be able to thank my incredible team for coming together and making this happen. As always thank you to the incredible Lizzy, my editor and production coordinator, Paul, my DOP and cinematographer and Nick, set builder extraordinaire. As well as new team member Benedict who has become invaluable as a prop and costume fabricator over the last few projects.
I’d like to thank my good friend Storm for taking on the role of Saga! Storm and I go way back and I’m so happy to finally be able to bring her on for a project!
And another newcomer to the channel, my incredibly talented sister, Caitlin, carpenter extraordinaire! Those stunning chalk boards? Made from scratch by her according to Remedy’s blueprints. I’m thrilled to be able to work with her and I hope to do so much more in future!
Thanks for sticking with me whilst I was away, everyone! I'll be back again soon, there are a LOT of things on the way!
