Chaos Cubed Composer Interview

Paula, a composer, initially assigned temporary names to her tracks, which have become permanent fixtures in listeners' minds. She finds it amusing that these names, which were simple descriptors of the emotions she aimed to evoke, are now final. Paula describes her soundtrack as emotional, nostalgic, playful, introspective, and dreamy. Players can collect in-game music discs containing tracks from her soundtrack, which can be played on a craftable jukebox. One notable track, Bounce, is found in a sulfurous location in the game.

‘Lord Of The Rings’ and ‘Minecraft’ inspired Au/Ra’s alt-pop debut

Alt-pop artist Au/Ra has released her debut album, ‘Heartcore,’ inspired by her childhood experiences and escapism into fantasy worlds. The album reflects her journey of healing from childhood traumas, which she began addressing through therapy. Growing up between Ibiza and Antigua, she found solace in video games and creative writing, particularly influenced by titles like Final Fantasy 15 and The Lord Of The Rings. Au/Ra debuted with the track ‘Concrete Jungle’ at age 14 and faced challenges with her label, Sony, which affected her music release. Despite these obstacles, she maintained a connection with her fans through gaming and community engagement. The first song she wrote for ‘Heartcore’ was ‘Blah,’ expressing her feelings of betrayal and abandonment, which helped her gain clarity for the album's creative process.
