I'm a freelance composer and sound effects designer for video games. I believe in creating highly immersive, evocative audio assets that really deliver on the artistic goals of the project. I think this is one of the things that separate a good game from a great game. I am willing to work very hard to achieve the highest quality results possible. I'm also a life-long gamer and game music lover. Please check out my website at www.chrisapplestudios.com and feel free to get in touch!
This is the next piece on the Atlantis Rising soundtrack. The Ocean Floor is an overworld theme, meant to describe the vast uninhabited expanses between the city and other points of interest in the deep. The ocean floor is beautiful, but also treacherous, much like the overworlds in other RPGs. I wanted a longer song so the player can explore for a while without hearing the same loop over and over again. The player might also find ruined cities, caves, and shipwrecks along the ocean floor. I wanted to try a more delicate style of orchestration, so the instrumentation is thin in places, and with a strong emphasis on melodic lines. This song describes mainly the near-surface zone of the ocean.
