Asadi and Xye aim to redefine music in gaming, pushing the boundaries of how sound shapes interactive storytelling. By working more closely alongside game development teams, especially in their work for The Rogue Prince of Persia, they aim to inspire a future where composers and songwriters are integral to the creative process from the very beginning, ensuring that every game’s score is as emotionally compelling as its narrative.

This show will be a provocative, musically immersive performance that blends Classical, Electronic and Middle Eastern compositions. Through their unique fusion of sound and storytelling, Asadi and Xye want to demonstrate how music can transform a game’s emotional depth, pacing, and impact, inspiring others to do the same.
