Early 2019 I was invited over by the Vertigo Games team to play their next big game in development. After the Fall plays in a post apocalyptic frozen Los Angeles. Set in an alternate timeline, the entire presentation of the game was based around a 1980s esthetic and focus heavily on Left 4 Dead style gameplay runs.
After the Fall has to be the most electronic score I’ve done thus far and not a single synthesizer was left untouched in the process. Used were the ARP2600, Prophet 5, Moog Grandmother, OB-6 and many more classic analog synthesizers. Blended in are big percussion ensembles to drive the action and underline big moments.
Music composed and performed by Jonathan van den Wijngaarden.
Cello performed by Carolina Teruel
Mastering by Frank Klepacki
