Joe Shrewsbury and Paul Wolinski from 65daysofstatic discuss No Man’s Sky: Music for an Infinite Universe, their recent soundtrack project that exists as both a traditional album and as infinite, generative soundscapes within the game. They’ll look at the tension between composing narrative-led, structured songs and non-linear, formless noise from the same ingredients, how they approached writing rules for algorithms to make their own songs instead of writing the songs themselves, and what they hope the future of bands doing game soundtracks might look like.
