Gamasutra catches up with Aquaria co-creator Alec Holowka to discuss the soundtrack he created for the IGF-winning indie game, centering on the new deluxe double CD of the game's musical score.
Having recently been nominated for a German MTV Game Award for Paper Moon, Alec Holowka has been busy shipping copies of his two-disc original soundtrack album for Aquaria.
The game, created in collaboration with Derek Yu as part of Bit Blot, took the top prize at the 2007 Independent Games Festival, an event Holowka describes as a personal watershed moment, "where timelines diverge." He celebrated the album release with a streaming piano jam coinciding with the first CDs being packaged and shipped.
