How to Write a Song for Animal Well: The Video Game

Welcome to episode 5 in my video game rescore series! Animal Well is the video game we're focusing on today and I'm going to walk you through scoring a new song for the game. I'll spend some time focusing in on what makes the sound design in this game special, and use that to inform our decisions in trying to replicate that same vibe in a new song.

FX Details:
Hologram Chroma Console is a multi-fx pedal. First fx is a vibrato mixed in with the dry signal to create a nice stereo chorus. Next is a reverse delay with subtle pitch modulation. Finally, is a "cassette" effect that makes it sound like the sound is running through a tape machine.

Meris Mercury X is a reverb pedal on the "Large Hall" preset.
