Loraine James - Ubisoft Music

Carte Blanche / Cultural Collaboration
Role: Creative Director & Producer

Carte Blanche is a cultural collaboration program I created and lead at Ubisoft, inviting artists from outside the gaming world to reinterpret our universes through their own practice.

For this edition, I identified and approached Loraine James, London-based composer and Hyperdub recording artist, and gave her full access to Ubisoft's music, soundtrack, and SFX library. She composed an original piece weaving together game audio into a new work: gunshots from Splinter Cell became drumbeats, sword clashes from Assassin's Creed turned into melodic rhythms.

I oversaw the creative direction of the visual response, a real-time reactive environment built around her performance, and produced the live premiere in Paris on July 18th, 2024.
