Cue of the Week: “Cumulus Effect”

Here’s a piece I contributed to OperToon’s interactive story, Strange Rain. In the app, we hear musical phrases admist the patter of raindrops from a stormy sky. As we proceed through the story, a sentence at a time, we also advance through the music. This album remix, as I like to call it, stitches together the musical phrases into a whole.

Suggesting raindrops via piano is an age-old tradition. Here I also employed synths and reverse effects to reflect the app’s subtle visual oddities.
