Topiary / Topiary / Topiary

"I have spent the previous couple of months composing and recording the original sound track for the virtual reality game Topiary. Throughout this process, I have worked closely with the director to develop creative strategies for implementing music into the virtual world.
"Topiary Store is a meditative HTC Vive game where the player engages in topiary while independently managing a business to sell them. The main mechanic of the game is the ability to manipulate the appearance of shrubs or trees by pruning through the use of the Vive controllers."
