Yesterday (over dinner) I briefed Jade about the music for the mini game. I asked Jade to taking influence from Negro spirituals and slave working songs as well as traditional Music from Mali. We talked about the feeling of trudging that the music is trying to create. We discussed some pieces that we like and thought about the instrumentation and the story which is trying to be explained. This is a harsh reality of life for many. I asked Jade to take some screenshots of the project as she is working on it and keep track of her sonic choices as she works.
