Working on Married in Red
Married in Red was a really interesting project to work on because I wanted the entire soundtrack to be built around a piano trio, with the instrumentation reflecting the game's three main characters. I really enjoyed finding ways to use the same small ensemble to capture both the quieter and more tense moments of the story.
