“THE MACHINE STOPS” SOUNDTRACK

February 2020

London, England

Production, Mixing, Mastering: Jack Pumphret

Made for a collaborative project with a team of M.A. Virtual Reality students that was based on the short story of the same name by E.M. Forster.

“Willful Insomnia” represents the cold, industrial, and claustrophobic nature of the ‘Machine’ in which the player finds themself navigating through for most of the game.

“Aurora” details the moment that the player exits the ‘Machine' and finally reconnects with the outside world during the game’s finale.
