Original soundtrack and sound design for a virtual reality adventure based on rtve show Yrreal; played through El Retiro park in Madrid.

The orginal show is full of gore-agresive-magnified sounds that makes a rough atmosphere for the viewer. Loud mouthing, pig noises, punches, stabs, shouts and squashes are overstated all over the piece making it a violent but comical scenario that was a very important starting point for picking the sounds for the soundtrack.

These samples gathered for sound designing were also used as percussion for structuring the tracks. Loud and harsh noises, distorted guitars imitating police sirens and radio, where used as a whole sound ambience, for sound design and the music.

The show already features an original soundtrack composed by the Hermanos Ferrando, which was another important reference not only for composing but as a matter of respect and continuity of the original concepts and ideas of the show.

The game soundtrack has 5 original songs.

Four of them resembles Hermanos Ferrandos work therefore Yrreal universe but there is one track composed as a little resume of all the story, called SISTERQUEST. Yrreal tells the story of the despair quest of looking for a missing sister. I composed this track imagining the loss of a sister. (no spoiler)

Written in 96 bpm, the age of my sister, the music pulls you down with profound synths and winds, in a heavy descending scale, resembling the pain, anguish and confusion of a loss. The gloomy hopelessness grows dramatically with strings and orchestral motifs to a climax. It all resolves to the begining, in the same scale progression but with lighter sounds and calmed atmosphere as the acknowlegde of embracing the truth.
