"Don't play this game before bedtime" is a warning from a review of Carrion , created by the tiny studio of Phobia Games. This reverse-horror game gives players a chance to be the monster, creating destruction in the lab where it escapes captivity. Composer Cris Velasco says he was totally on "Team Monster" as he was creating his soundtrack. Cris created a library of unusual sounds to build the music. He says one of the most enjoyable experiences was getting hold of a container of slime and using it to make all kinds of gushy, wet, slippery sounds, as a reference to the monster's tentacles, which he blended with the live strings and synths. Working with the small team of Phobia Game Studio also gave Cris the chance to fulfill a long-held dream of commissioning an artist to create the cover for the soundtrack album. Cris asked Dan Quintana to design the cover, and the the developers and Cris were thrilled with the result! The soundtrack is available on Chris' Bandcamp . Listen to it

Composer Cris Velasco is one of the most respected and in-demand talents in the video game composing world. For this discussion we re-visit Cris’ own journey to becoming a composer and why he decided to start his career with a focus on vide game composition. We chat about the different techniques and approaches Cris uses when he writes music including letting the music play in loops around his house while he does chores so he can see if any of his melodies become annoying or irritating. We dive into Cris’ recent projects such as his involvement in Overwatch, the approach he took while working on Resident Evil 7 and his new series Dimension 404 which airs on Hulu. Dimension 404 is a unique anthology series that follows in the footsteps of classic series like The Twilight Zone where episodes are a standalone story requiring a different style of music for each narrative. Cris is one of the most fun and creative minds in the business and it was so great to get a glimpse into his world once again!
