STRAYLIGHT (Original Game Soundtrack)

theologyvgmfan I love this because
A) 88Bit's beard is something I wish I was manly enough to have
B) Your usage of the Prophet 5 is impeccable.
C) I'm gonna remix Star Forge... send me those stems would ya?
D) I cannot WAIT to play this game. I was told about this game like 2 years ago and I couldn't play the beta of it because I didn't have a rift/steam/pc. So the fact that ROB made the soundtrack to the game and I will get to play it on my Quest soon? Priceless. Favorite track: Star Forge.

about

With the soundtrack to STRAYLIGHT, players are treated to completely original, progressive synthwave tunes by award-winning composer, songwriter and VGM artist, Rob Kovacs aka 88bit. Combining modern audio technology with specially crafted sounds from a classic Prophet 5 synthesizer, the STRAYLIGHT score creates a truly out-of-this-world experience.

STRAYLIGHT began as a Global Game Jam project five years ago where two game developers and three filmmakers came together to make a new VR game focusing on comfortable movement allowing players to experience flying. Kovacs as part of the film team was brought on to score the game. Only knowing the concept of the game and one simple graphic, Kovacs was tasked with composing and recording a track in two days that would reflect the player’s experience of floating and flying in VR space for the first time. Using a vintage Prophet 5 synth, he created the STRAYLIGHT title track - a slow-developing and ungrounded synthwave track, that is reflective of the unique experience that is the STRAYLIGHT game.
