Composing for games

Not my usual line of things but a friend of mine who develops online games asked me to develop a few sound files for some game screens for something he was working on.

It was a screen based brick game, short playing time, repetitive and above all very, very additive.

Some rules I set: must be about a minute long, must compress into 1mb mp3 without losing definition, must be loopable

So here are the first 5, 1 minute long, tracks I came up with. The game has 12 screens, so I’m going to be a bit busy (as well as trying to remain original) to do the rest.

Track 1: This is used as the first screen track, also for the menu
