ROLE: Composition & Sound Design

DEVELOPER: Lemon Difficult

Key of Dreams is a luxury immersive theatre experience which drops its players into a Lovecraftian mystery that they must experience, solve and survive overnight.

Having previously worked with director Ivan Caric on his last immersive experience project, my brief for Key of Dreams was to create more ambient looping immersive soundscapes that all shared melodic and sound design motifs that acted as uncanny clues to help match clues for the mystery.

Working closely with Ivan and his team, the finished soundtrack is intimately woven with the charm and dedication of his team, using their collective voices as whispers and ambience to live sampling church bells from an authentic dirge to capture the sonic image of uncanny cosmic horror. The end result is a contrast of old vinyl-style recordings with a visceral modern ambient soundscape all hinging on a central recurring musical motif that shadows the listener throughout the experience.
