"When you"re playing a game, you"re an active participant, so your brain has to handle a lot more. So how you write game music is fundamentally different, and the best games understand that you can"t pile on everything, unless you"ve built up to that moment. When you"re moving through Ori"s environment, the music doesn"t change all the time, because that"s too much for the brain to deal with. Every musical cue is placed for a reason. There is a melody in Ori, but it"s quite withdrawn and gentle, until it absolutely needs to take over."
