Returning to the heat of Arizona Sunshine was an incredible opportunity for me. Not only did it allow to further build upon and expand ideas written for the original VR hit game, this time around the game featured a more dramatic story arch, as brilliantly written by Rob Yescombe (with Sky Soleil returning as the main protagonist).
The score to Arizona Sunshine 2 is built upon weird noises, raw percussive rhythms and synth tones. An orchestra forged in the apocalypse, where everything perishes in the burning Arizona heat. Something that sounds pure, raw and dreadful while instilling emotional themes throughout to carry the keymoments in the game.
