Featuring: Garry Schyman

The Academy of Scoring arts welcomes veteran game composer Garry Schyman to discuss his VR game score Torn.
Torn explores the abandoned mansion of the famed Dr. Lawrence Talbot, who went missing decades earlier. It begins as a narrative puzzle game reactivating the mysterious machines that bring the mansion to life, and then evolves into a dark, character-driven story slowly uncovering the truth about Talbot, discovering in the process a new dimension called “The Parallel.” Garry’s musical score sets a misleadingly beautiful atmosphere amid the bizarre gadgets and disturbing experiments, isolated deep within a forgotten forest hiding a dark secret.
The soundtrack for Torn was released on Varèse Sarabande Records.
