Mikko Tarmia for AAMFP?

[Robosprog]

Jessica curry's (Am I the only person who smirks at that last name?) music that I've listened to is fantastic - and Dear Esther from what I've seen looks fantastic and has a good story. - If Frictional Games work on the gameplay side then we could be looking at something that is yet another genre defining game from FG. (Yes, I consider Amnesia (and to an extent penumbra(BRACEPTION)) to be a genre defining game. Hell, I consider it one of the greatest games ever made)

Jessica Curry's is definitely able to create moody music, that's for sure. Just give her a chance. Can't wait to hear her take on AMFP!

I was smiling whilst reading this thread, for those of you lowering your expectations of AMFP's music due to Jessica writing it will be in for a surprise. The music for Pigs is absolutely stellar, the tracks are incredible.

You only need to listen to the music in Esther or on her website to realise how talented she is.

I really hope so, anyway, I apologise for my preconception. I just get worried when it's something new when I was fine with the old one.

I just hope that the music is just as creepy (or creepier) than the music was in Amnesia TDD. If it weren't for the music, the game would be much less scarier.

The only problem I had with the music from Dear Esther is that there wasn't enough ^.^, I enjoyed the natural ambiance of each chapter, but I wished that there was music constantly playing.

No you're not the only one that smirks when you hear her last name

Ofc I smirk and then immediately feel sorry for her for having a last name like that, that's gotta suck

This thread is one big laugh.

I actually really liked the decision to not have ambient music playing constantly. No music means you pay more attention to environmental sounds and the surrounding nature (one of the things that Dear Esther really stands out at), and when there is music its effect is much stronger.

Jessica Curry seems like a really talented composer, and did a really good job in making music suitable for the mood of Dear Esther.
But personally, I didn't really fancy the music in DE, seemed a bit bland. (Might be partially because that's the feeling I got of the "game" overall aswell. It was a beautiful experience, but didn't really strike me personally.)

To my mind I'd like to keep Mikko as a composer, because of his more interesting choices in composing. F.e. Main theme of penumbra (I think it's named like that on the OST of Overture) is a really interesting/cool sounding song imo, and what I mean by "interesting choices in composing" is that I can see by looking at the song from a more music theory kind of perspective, and the chord choices/ how the melody is built are awesome.
