Side Projects.
2023
Digital Game Development Postgraduate Thesis: Leitmotif, Sound Design, Horizontal Re-sequencing & Vertical Re-orchestration: An Introduction to Narrative in Music
Authored a 34 pages thesis exploring the evolution and application of narrative elements in music, specifically focusing on leitmotif, sound design techniques, horizontal re-sequencing, and vertical re-orchestration. This research analysed how these concepts influence narrative construction and player immersion in digital games, drawing examples from classical music, cinema, and contemporary game titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Journey. The work demonstrates expertise in audio design principles, analytical research, and the intersection of music theory with interactive media development.
