Unique Collaboration between Music and Gaming,The Renowned Composer Paul Ruskay brings The Game´s 70s Atmosphere to life-coming November 3^rd

Sydney, Australia – September 15, 2022 – Watch an exclusive interview with Paul Ruskay, Audio Director and Mike Skupa, Creative Director of The Chant, – a single-player third person cosmic horror action adventure game due to ship on November, 3^rd – that discloses the not-so-conventional creative process behind the music and sound design of the game.

Developed by Brass Token and published by Prime Matter, The Chant´s players will experience immersive audio in an atmosphere heavily influenced by the 1970s, including original experimental electronica composed and designed by the well-known artist.  

Paul Ruskay has been a leading audio producer of music and sound design for the video game, film and advertising industries for the past 26 years.

Human beings respond to fear in a physical way, particularly when playing a cosmic horror action adventure game. What to expect sonically from The Chant is a mix between paying a homage to the classics but keeping things feeling fresh.

Unorthodox approach

The Chant is a colourful supernatural horror game that uses experimental soundscapes to amplify dread and tension in gameplay. Equally important is the soundtrack’s analogue feel, which allows players to travel to the natural environment where the game takes place – remote Glory Island on the edge of the Pacific Coast.

Knowing well how to invoke horror, Paul has been deeply influenced in this game by cult horror classic soundtracks from the 70s.

According to the Audio Director, it was easy to get excited about The Chant. “The references were very compelling to me, this was a fun project to explore creatively”. Ruskay goes on to say that Mike Skupa has been a great collaborator throughout the project, guiding the process towards the 70s and 80s classic horror movies, while also striving to achieve an original atmosphere that stands out from the rest.

Free jazz drum parts, sections where music is better left out altogether to ensure that players feel on the edge, and creature sounds, help to further enhance the immersive experience and boost the setting of the game to be even scarier.

The Chant is a cosmic horror action-adventure game developed by Brass Token and published by Prime Matter, launching on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC on November 3^rd.

Hinwil, 14 September 2022 – Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports is ready to take on the 2022 F1 Esports Series Pro Championship, as the team lays down the challenge to the best Esports drivers in the world to take one of the most coveted titles in simracing.

The 2022 season, which starts today, will feature four rounds of the action-packed racing that has come to symbolise F1 Esports: however, there are some key differences in the way the championship is run, designed to make the show even better for both veteran and new fans of the series.

Teams will play an even bigger part as strategy becomes key: the length of the races has been extended to 50% of the full distance, meaning each round will play out more intensely and the choice of tyres – and when to put them – will have an even bigger impact on the outcome of every race. Due to the increased length of each round, as well, events will now span three days – Wednesday to Friday.

With an impressive line-up featuring team stalwart, Dani Bereznay from Hungary; fast Frenchman, Nico Longuet; and emerging star, Tomek Poradzisz of Poland, Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN Esports is ready to aim for the highest places in the constructors’ championship.

Nico Longuet: “The season is about to start and the nerves are starting to creep in, but that’s normal. My team and I put a lot of effort into this year’s preparations and we’re going to give it our all. As always, we want to win together.”

Tomek Poradzisz: “I am going into my debut season and my focus is mostly on gaining experience whilst obviously trying to give it all. Preparations have been going fairly well and I feel ready for the season, but it will definitely be extremely challenging with how strong the grid is this year.”

Dani Bereznay: “I always learn from previous mistakes, and because of that I believe that this year’s preparation for F1 Esports has been the best ever. However, the field is the best ever as well, so the series will not be any less challenging.”

2022 F1 Esports Series Pro Championship
Event 1: September 14-16
