Ape Out – Reactive Music System
Ape Out launched last week to widespread critical acclaim with the innovative procedural music system contributing greatly to the game’s incredible feel. Meticulously designed by Harmonix creative director and NYU Game Center Associate Professor Matt Boch, the procedural music system draws from 1000s of drum performance samples to create a seamless and reactive jazz soundtrack to Ape Out’s frantic action. No two runs have the same accompaniment as the game creates the soundtrack moment-to-moment, changing up the mood and instrumentation based on the sequences of that area. Ape Out is available now for Nintendo Switch and PC.
