Hi beautiful people!
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey... but not in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Let's trip in the Pride Run music!
Play Hard is the musical RTS game mode where you have to manage groups and leaders to get the best results and reach the higher Pride as possible.
And you hear the music following the Pride level: as much the Pride bar (the rainbow in the top of the screen) becomes wider, as more the Pride is high!
And as much the Pride is high, as more the music become louder!
We don't use volume to do this, but different modular layers of music, loops of base, instruments and vocals which can be overlayed composing dinamically the music.
Here an example, from Pisa funky seventiees scenario.
You can hear the different layers, adding themselves on the previous ones loop after loop.
In the game, dinamically, if the Pride is too low, you will hear the base filtered, having the same impression you have when you hear the music playing in the hall but you are in the bathroom.
Normally, we use BASE, two or three different INSTRUMENTS layers, then the higher one: Hard Ton's VOCALS!
Mauro produces the main music theme, then Marianna takes the source project and uses all instruments to produce the loopable modular music layers.

We hope you will enjoy the Pride Run music while playing and supporting LGBTQ+ rights!!!
RUN PRIDE RUN!!!
