Composing Fear – Tobias Lilja on Little Nightmares & Game Audio – Gaming Podcast

It's not a synthesizer, but it's a keyboard that can record sounds and you can play those sounds on a keyboard. So he bought one of those and he kind of taught me how to use it. So that was kind of my first kind of... That was how I was making music when I was a kid. I was kind of sampling other people's music and putting it together, you know, kind of like old school hip hop.

sampling records and putting it together in some kind of collage fashion. So I was much more interested in that way of working, more than writing songs on the piano. I didn't really know how to do that, honestly. I've always been more interested in the sounds and how things sound and the textures, rather than the melodies and chords and lyrics.

And that's why I also was really interested in sound design for film, because that was more...

Yeah, I think one advantage I had was that we started working on the prototype that eventually became Little Nightmares back in 2014, I think. So I had the luxury to be part of that project from the start.
