The GameComing soon from The Artifice, a new online show that brings you, the audience, into the heart of the film production. The project will aim to discover the positive and negative aspects of self expression by taking an objective glance at modern culture.
We expect to go into production in 2012. The Artifice is currently awaiting final funding results.
What does it take to bring a story to life? Where do ideas come from and what kind of pressure does it place on the minds of those who dare to dream up a new reality? Is self expression itself the artifice that holds us back as a species? If we could gain peace by letting go of every notion of the ‘self’ what would we lose? And is that an acceptable price to pay?
This new online show will be your chance to answer these questions, as you delve into the minds of the project’s creators. Experience the trials and tribulations of bringing this story to life and lose yourself in a strange world that lies between the borders of pure imagination and harsh reality.
Plans and preparations for the release of the show are in full swing – so what should you do while you wait? Subscribe to our Youtube channel, follow us on Twitter and do like 4+ million fans, like us on Facebook!
Thomas Marek has written numerous pieces for The Artifice project, all of which encompass a vast range of styles, moods and instrumentation. Thomas takes his musical influence from film composers such as John Williams and Michael Giacchino, through to “classical” composers such as Ravel and Duruflé, as well as many popular artists. While all of his pieces are completely different, their atmospheric and otherworldly feel remains a constant, and Thomas’ aim is to compose music that takes the listener to a completely different place in ways one might not expect.
There will of course be more information about the people behind the project. You can also expect to hear new tracks from The Artifice OST, information about characters, the second chapter of The Artifice game and finally take a look back at some of the work we have produced in the past that led us to create The Artifice.
Hannah Moulden has been writing the score for The Artifice for some time now and takes musical inspiration from whatever media she comes across in everyday life. With influences from traditional composers like Thomas Newman and Clint Mansell to experimental artists like Kate Bush and Imogen Heap, Hannah crafts both composition and production techniques inspired by these artists to help create music that is atmospheric, emotionally deep, musically intelligent and most importantly different from the traditional soundtrack.
