Spectral Plain Online (2023)

The cinematic walk-through of the game environment Spectral Plain is now available to watch online. This project is the result of a long-term collaboration with Guillemette Legrand, Vincent Thornhill and Filip Setmanuk, where I had the pleasure of handling the music and sound design.



It explores the capacity for AI (namely GPT-3) and randomizing technology (a cosmic radiation sensor) to create new forms of human-machine co-creation. In the environment of Spectral Plain, the player awakens to a world that follows a geomagnetic reversal, a shift in the Earth’s magnetic field. They traverse three layers—celestial, terranean, and infracosmic—within a plain of unchannelled energies in search of new energetic alignments.
