For one of our latest levels in Pivot we felt we needed some creepy tunes to set the mood. I took inspiration from one of the best video games ever made, Beyond Good and Evil, which had a stunning sound track composed by Christophe Heral.

I asked Lost to record some violin strokes for me, seeing he plays the violin rather well, and added some sounds of water drops, some creepy ambiance sounds and a crescendoing piano melody. Here is the result:

Lost and I have also gone in and replaced Game Maker’s built-in sound engine with an external dll one, which not only adds OGG support but also allows for much smoother looping.
