The game is a platformer that mixes fun family friendly cartoon action with stylistic ‘sack cloth’ visuals and funky tunes. This means the music is most likely a re-imagining of Adamson’s original ideas, remixed and remastered for the game. The track used by Little Big Planet 3, ‘Dead Heat’, is a 1993 track written and produced by Adamson and owned by Sony Music. This considerable musical knowledge made him a good choice to produce the work for the Little Big Planet 3. He has also worked on the soundtrack for David Lynch's Lost Highway, and released numerous solo recordings.Īn artist with a hugely eclectic range of styles and tastes, his has mostly been influenced by John Barry, Elmer Bernstein and Ennio Morricone, whilst his later works include jazz, electronica, soul, funk, and dub-styles. 1 & 2) remix for the latter band in 1997. He created the seven-minute opus Useless (Escape From Wherever: Pts. Adamson has also remixed Grinderman, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Depeche Mode. He has worked with rock bands such as Magazine, Visage, The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and the electro musicians Pan sonic. The composer of this piece is the English rock artist Barry Adamson. Let us now look at and analyse each piece and decide what they are trying to suggest. However, the piece is deliberately juxtaposing a dark sounding piece of thriller movie-esque music with light hearted gameplay - whereas ‘The Last Of Music’ creates drama, ‘Dead Heat’ generates humour and comedy. Admittedly, it does seem to suggest a certain degree of personality describing the main characters. However, ‘Dead Heat’ is different in the sense that it is more tongue and cheek. I would personally term it as quite a serious piece of music. I think they differ however in that the ‘The Last Of Us’ theme attempts to create not only a visual picture but also convey the feelings and emotions of the two main characters Ellie and Joel.
Ultimately they are similar in the sense that they share the same goal: to elicit an emotional response from the viewer and give them an insight into the layers that make up the game stories. Both tracks convey different emotions which I will attempt to analyse and give a critical opinion on during this assignment. 1112)Īriadne in her labyrinth Lyrics: Traditional Sephardic romance O God, where shall I find you?
