Hannu Sinervä, a larp designer and musician, has created original scores for a variety of larps, including the sci-fi epic Odysseus, the black box larp Seaside Prison, and the reality show-inspired Alaston Erämaa. In this presentation, you'll get an inside look at the composition process and discover how original music has been woven into larps as a key design element. The presentation will feature numerous audio examples, along with insights into music theory, demonstrating how music can elevate immersive experiences.
